Does the Southeast DX3 have cruise control?
2 Answers
The base model of the Southeast DX3 does not have cruise control, while the higher-end model is equipped with this function. Below are the steps to use the cruise control in the higher-end Southeast DX3 model: 1. When the DX3's speed reaches 40 KM/h or above, press the "CRUISE" button on the steering wheel. 2. A cruise control indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, then press the "SET" button. 3. Release the button, and the cruise control will start working. Here is more information about cruise control: 1. The cruise control system, abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. 2. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, keeping the car at the preset speed without the need to operate the accelerator. 3. Using cruise control during long highway drives reduces driver fatigue by eliminating the need to control the accelerator pedal, while also minimizing unnecessary speed changes, which helps save fuel.
I've been driving the Southeast DX3 for two years now, my own is the high-end version with cruise control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Just press it to set the speed, which is especially useful on highways as I don't need to keep my foot on the accelerator. I remember the manual mentioning that cruise control is usually standard on the 1.5T or higher DX3 Prime models, while the lower-end versions may require an additional installation. During long-distance driving, it helps me save fuel, roughly about 5% in fuel consumption, and reduces driver fatigue. But to confirm if your car has it, I'd recommend checking the configuration list from when you bought the car or asking at a 4S store—don't just rely on advertisements. In bad weather, like rain, I usually turn it off to maintain manual control. This small feature really adds a lot to the driving experience, and if your car doesn't have it, it can be retrofitted at a reasonable price.
