How to use the cruise control on BYD Song?
2 Answers
Press the cruise control master button (Cruise) on the right side of the steering wheel, and the main cruise control indicator on the instrument panel will illuminate. Increase the vehicle speed to above 40km/h. Press the Set button to activate cruise control, and the cruise control indicator on the instrument panel will light up. When holding the (+Resume) button, the vehicle will continuously accelerate. Release the button when reaching the desired cruising speed. After accelerating to the desired cruising speed, press the Set button. To slightly increase speed, repeatedly press the (+Resume) button.
When I first got my BYD Song, I also spent quite some time figuring out the cruise control. Now I've finally got the hang of it. You can activate it once the car reaches above 40 km/h by pressing the button with the speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel, which will illuminate a white cruise light on the dashboard. Then, continue accelerating to your desired speed, say 110 km/h on the highway, and press the SET button to lock it in. Your feet are completely free as the car maintains the set speed automatically. For minor adjustments, use the RES/+ to speed up or SET/- to slow down. If you encounter a car too close ahead or a curve, lightly tap the brake to exit cruise control. To resume, just press the RES button, and the car will automatically return to the set speed. However, never treat it as autonomous driving—always keep your hands on the steering wheel, and it's best to avoid using this feature in rainy or snowy conditions.
