How to Use Cruise Control in the Eado?
2 Answers
The cruise control buttons of the Eado are located near the steering wheel, with the following main functions: "SET" (set speed), "— or COAST" (decrease set speed), "RES" (resume set speed), "+ or ACCEL" (increase speed), "CANCEL" (cancel set speed), and "ON/OFF or CRUISE" (cruise control master switch). 1. To activate cruise control: Press the control switch to standby, accelerate to the desired speed, then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. To accelerate, push the lever upward or press the accelerator pedal. To cancel cruise control, lift the lever upward, turn off the master switch, press the accelerator, or lightly tap the brake. After pressing the cruise control master switch, the dashboard will display a cruise control icon indicating standby mode. 2. The Eado's cruise control works at any speed but can only adjust speed using the control lever above 50 km/h. Lightly tapping the brake cancels cruise control. Cruise control is suitable for use on closed roads with good conditions and low traffic. With the "CANCEL" and "RES" buttons, you can drive using a set of cruise control buttons at high speeds, except in emergencies requiring brake or accelerator pedal use.
I've been driving my Yidong for 3 years and always use cruise control on highways - super convenient. First press the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system. When the car maintains a stable speed above 40 km/h (like cruising at 60 km/h on flat roads), press SET to lock the current speed. If too slow, press ACCEL or the acceleration button to increase speed; press DECEL to reduce. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press CANCEL - it stops instantly. Press RESUME to return to the set speed. Once when I got distracted and forgot to downshift, the system automatically slowed down gradually - very safe. For long drives, it's best to monitor fuel consumption changes via the dashboard display, typically saving about 10%. Avoid using it recklessly on curves or rainy days to prevent loss of control. Once you get accustomed, long-distance driving becomes much easier.
