What does the auto cruise function of a car mean?

Of a car driving at a constant speed. Adaptive cruise control system is an intelligent automatic speed control system based on cruise control technology. Because appropriate measures (acceleration, deceleration and braking) can be automatically taken according to the traffic conditions, the adaptive cruise system can well adapt to the driving of urban roads with complex road conditions.

The function of cruise control system is to automatically keep the speed at a fixed speed without stepping on the accelerator pedal after turning on the switch at the speed required by the driver. With this device, when driving on expressway for a long time, the driver does not need to control the accelerator pedal, which reduces fatigue, unnecessary speed change and saves fuel.

Matters needing attention when using automatic cruise function for extended data:

(1) In order to get the best control of the car, don't use the automatic cruise function when encountering traffic jams, driving on slippery roads such as freezing rain and snow, or encountering windy weather.

(2) In order to avoid misoperation of the automatic cruise function, the control switch of the automatic cruise function must be turned off when the automatic cruise function is not used.

(3) When the car is driving on a steep slope, using the automatic cruise function will cause the engine speed to change too much, so it is best not to use it. When driving downhill, you should avoid accelerating. If the actual driving speed of the vehicle is much higher than the set speed, cruise control can be ignored, and then the transmission is shifted to a lower gear, and the speed is controlled by engine braking.

(4) When the car is cruising, for the car equipped with MT, the shift lever should be set to neutral when stepping on the clutch pedal, otherwise the engine speed will rise sharply.

(5) When using the automatic cruise function, observe whether the cruise indicator light on the instrument cluster flashes. If so, it indicates that the automatic cruise function is in a fault state. At this point, you should stop using the automatic cruise function and use it after troubleshooting.
