2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control on the Baojun 730 is: 1. Press the cruise control button; 2. When reaching the target speed, maintain the throttle and press the set button for 5 seconds to enter cruise control mode; 3. Pressing the accelerator, brake pedal, clutch pedal, or triggering the ESP function will deactivate the cruise control. The dimensions of the Baojun 730 are: length 4780mm, width 1780mm, height 1740mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The Baojun 730 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 147 PS, maximum power of 108 kW, and maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I remember the first time I drove the Baojun 730 on the highway and tried out the cruise control. When the speed reached above 40km/h, I pressed the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel, and a green indicator light came on. Then, I lightly pressed the accelerator to reach the desired speed, say 80km/h, and pressed the SET button to lock the current speed. To adjust the speed without pressing the accelerator, I used the +/- buttons, with each press changing the speed by about 2km/h. Pressing the brake or the CANCEL button would pause the cruise control, and pressing RES would resume it. It's important to familiarize yourself with the button positions on the steering wheel; using them makes driving much easier, especially on long trips, as it reduces the need to press the accelerator and lessens fatigue in the right leg. However, it's advisable to turn it off during rainy weather or on winding roads to maintain better control. Remember, the cruise control automatically turns off each time the engine is shut off, so you'll need to reactivate it the next time you use it.
