What to Do When Cruise Control Fails?

[StCora]

Here are the solutions when cruise control malfunctions: 1. Try to deactivate it. Press the 'cancel' button on the cruise control switch while simultaneously pressing the 'on' main switch, attempting to deactivate it by pressing both buttons together; 2. Shift to neutral. Cruise control is designed to cancel immediately under two conditions: braking or shifting to neutral. For automatic transmission vehicles, push the gear lever to the 'N' position; for manual transmission, simply shift to neutral. The car will lose forward momentum, and the speed will gradually decrease. Below are emergency measures if cruise control cannot be deactivated: 1. Deliberately scrape against guardrails. This method is highly difficult and dangerous, hence not recommended. 2. Intentionally rear-end a medium or large bus. The front vehicle will brake after the collision, causing the rear vehicle to stop. This method should only be used as a last resort. 3. If fuel is low, run it dry. This approach usually does not harm the vehicle and has the lowest post-incident repair costs, but it is essential to call the traffic police to open a green channel.
