But I can't cancel the cruise control."
Mr. Che was almost incoherent
He told the operator officer
The vehicle's cruise control function cannot be cancelled
It cannot be effectively braked, nor can it be geared or turned off
"The vehicle is an electronic parking brake when I apply the brakes
The speed drops slightly to 100 km/h
It also produces a burnt taste
But as soon as the brakes are released, the speed is restored."
Mr. Zhang said anxiously
