How to Set the Cruise Control Speed on BYD Tang?
3 Answers
BYD Tang's cruise control switch is located at the left rear of the steering wheel. Below are the methods to turn on and off the cruise control on BYD Tang: 1. Turn on: Start the engine, shift into D gear, press the cruise control switch and adjust it towards the plus and minus signs to increase or decrease the speed. 2. Turn off: Press the cruise control switch again or turn off the vehicle's power to deactivate the cruise system. Here is a detailed introduction to the cruise control system: The cruise control system (CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as the cruise control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as required by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. Controlled by the brake light switch circuit signal, the cruise function will automatically deactivate when the brake lights are on, thus deriving a new safety feature: the brake failure alarm function of the multifunction cruise control. If the brake circuit or brake bulb is faulty, the cruise control function cannot be activated. This makes the cruise control deactivation response faster because the brake lights illuminate before the braking effect takes place.
To set the cruise control speed for the BYD Tang, as an owner, I find the operation quite intuitive. After driving on the road, ensure the vehicle speed is within the range of 40-150 km/h, which is the basic condition for system activation. Locate the cruise control button on the steering wheel, usually marked with a small gauge or "ON/OFF" icon, and press it to turn on the system. Then accelerate to your desired cruise speed, for example, maintaining 100 km/h on the highway. Once the speed stabilizes, quickly press the "SET" button to lock it in. After setting the speed, the car will automatically maintain it. To fine-tune the speed, use the adjacent "+" or "-" buttons to increase or decrease by a few km/h. To cancel, lightly press the brake or press the cancel button; to resume, press the "RES" button to return to the set speed. Remember to use cruise control only on straight and flat roads, and avoid enabling it in rainy conditions or heavy traffic, as this may reduce tire grip. Regularly check the buttons and wiring for proper function to prevent dust buildup from affecting performance, ensuring a more relaxed and fuel-efficient drive.
When driving long distances, I often set the cruise speed on my BYD Tang, which is simple and effortless. First, start the car and reach at least 40 km/h on the road, then press the button with the cruise logo on the steering wheel to activate the system. After accelerating to the desired speed, press the "SET" button to lock it in, and the speed will be fixed. To increase or decrease the speed later, simply use the "+" and "-" buttons for adjustments. Canceling the cruise is easy—just lightly tap the brake or press the OFF button to stop it. To resume, press the "RES" button to return to the previously set speed. I frequently use this feature on highways to prevent speeding and save fuel. Before activating, ensure the road conditions are safe, and avoid using it on curves or slopes to prevent accidents. For maintenance, regularly clean the button area to prevent rust and sticking. If the system malfunctions, have it checked at a service center—safe driving is the top priority. After setting the speed, keep both hands steady on the wheel and stay alert to ensure a smooth journey.
