The cruise control area of the BORGWARD BX5 is located on the left functional area of the steering wheel. It is only available on the 20T Automatic Entry and 20T Automatic Leading models. Please note that cruise control is prohibited during rain, snow, or when driving on winding mountain roads. Here is an introduction to the cruise control system: 1. Definition and Function: The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device or autonomous driving system. Its function is to maintain the vehicle's speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. 2. Working Principle: The cruise control unit reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands to the servo mechanism to mechanically adjust the throttle opening, increasing or decreasing it to ensure the vehicle maintains the preset speed.

Locating the cruise control button on the Borgward BX5 SUV feels as familiar to me as finding an old friend—it's conveniently placed right on the steering wheel. Typically situated in the right-hand area of the wheel, some models feature a small button or lever, often near the volume controls. Operating it is straightforward: while driving, press the activation button to accelerate to your desired speed, then set the lock to maintain that speed automatically—a real lifesaver on highways for reducing fatigue. I frequently use it during long-distance drives to ease foot strain on the accelerator and save a bit on fuel costs. However, a word of caution: never engage it during rain, fog, or in heavy urban traffic where manual control is essential for safety. During routine car maintenance, always check that the button functions smoothly to avoid any mid-journey surprises. Though a small feature, it perfectly embodies the thoughtful touches of modern automotive design.

I've driven the Borgward BX5 several times, and the cruise control position is quite clear—it's right on the steering wheel, specifically in the right button area or on the lower lever. It's not hard to find, and the usage is straightforward: first press the power button, set the desired speed once the car reaches it, and the system starts working. On the highway, this feature is super convenient—no need to keep pressing the accelerator, just play some music, and the drive becomes much more relaxed. Young people love such smart driving aids when buying a car, as it makes driving less tiring. However, it's best to turn it off in heavy city traffic to avoid delayed responses. Overall, Borgward's design meets daily needs well—practical and hassle-free. Get into the habit of using it on highways, and it can enhance your travel experience while preventing fatigue driving.

The cruise control function of the Borgward BX5 is actually located in the steering wheel control area, mostly on the right button or the direction lever. Operation: Press the set button to accelerate to the set speed. This can help maintain a stable speed on flat highways and reduce driving burden. In related aspects, pay attention to ensuring the button status is normal, and manual operation is safer in curves or dense traffic. A simple function test during vehicle maintenance is sufficient.
