How to use the cruise control on the Sagitar?
3 Answers
Sagitar's cruise control is activated and controlled through the cruise switch on the steering wheel. Pull the lever backward to the 'on' position to turn on the device. Once the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press the 'set' button on the side of the cruise switch to store the speed. The Sagitar is an A+ sedan brand under FAW-Volkswagen, with a body length, width, and height of 4753mm, 1800mm, and 1462mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. Cruise control, also known as a speed control system or autonomous driving system, functions to maintain the vehicle's speed at the driver's desired setting without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed.
Using the cruise control on the Sagitar is actually quite simple. I use this feature every time I drive on the highway. First, accelerate to your desired speed, say around 80 km/h, then press the button with the speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, press the SET button to lock in the current speed, and the car will maintain a steady speed on its own. If you feel the speed is too fast or too slow, use the +/- buttons to fine-tune it, with each press adjusting the speed by 1 km/h. To overtake, simply press the accelerator pedal—once you release it, the car will return to the set speed. If you need to brake, pressing the brake pedal will automatically deactivate the cruise control. To resume, press the RES button. Remember to turn off the switch button after use. This feature is especially helpful on highways, but avoid using it in the city as it can be dangerous.
The cruise control for the Sagitar is operated via the row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Let me teach you a few practical tips. The system activation button is at the bottom left, resembling a dashboard icon—press it to start, then accelerate to your desired speed and press SET to lock it in. During long drives, you can use the +/- buttons to make minor speed adjustments; holding them down allows for continuous acceleration or deceleration. It's best not to use it on rainy days, as the steering wheel may slip and become hard to control. If you encounter a sudden slowdown ahead but don't want to fully disengage cruise control, lightly tap the brake to reduce speed, then use RES to quickly return to your set speed. Always be careful not to let your fingers get caught between the steering wheel and the buttons. If the buttons malfunction, try turning the engine off and restarting it.
