How to Use the Cruise Control in the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control in the Sagitar is as follows: set the desired speed via the multifunction steering wheel, press the 'res' button to activate the cruise control function, and the vehicle will maintain the set speed for cruise control. Taking the 2018 Sagitar as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters. The 2018 Sagitar features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, and a maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I find the cruise control on the Sagitar quite convenient, especially on highways where it saves a lot of effort. The basic steps are: first accelerate to your desired speed, say above 80 km/h, then press the cruise control button on the steering wheel, usually the one with a speedometer icon. Next, hit the SET button to lock in the current speed, and the car will maintain it automatically. You can take your foot off the accelerator, and the car will keep going. To fine-tune the speed, use the + or - buttons to increase or decrease speed. If traffic slows or road conditions worsen, tapping the brakes pauses cruise control; later, press RES to resume the previous setting. I used this on a long drive from Beijing to Dalian—no foot fatigue and even saved some fuel. But a heads-up for beginners: avoid cruise control in rain or on curves to prevent loss of control. It’s safest on straight highways, and regularly check that the buttons aren’t stuck.
