The 'set' on the Baojun 510 dashboard is the speed setting switch. When the car has a tire pressure loss, this indicator will appear on the dashboard. Dashboard functions include: Odometer, clock adjustment, and resetting the maintenance cycle indicator. Dashboard function setting methods: Odometer: This meter can display the total accumulated mileage and the single-trip mileage. It operates when the ignition is turned on. Briefly pressing the zero/adjustment button 9 allows switching between the two mileage display modes. Clock adjustment: Press the menu button 9 once to enter the hour adjustment mode. Use the zero/adjustment button 9 to adjust the hours. Each press of the button increases the displayed value by one hour. Holding the button allows for rapid adjustment.
When driving my Baojun 510, I often use the SET button, which is primarily for setting the cruise control. For example, when I want to maintain a constant speed on the highway, I can press SET to lock the current speed, allowing the car to automatically control the throttle to avoid speeding. This helps save fuel and reduces fatigue. In daily driving, I use it based on road conditions—activating it only during long straight stretches and manually canceling it when there are many surrounding vehicles or turns to avoid distractions. I remember one long trip where using cruise control significantly reduced fuel consumption. However, it's important not to rely entirely on autonomous driving; keeping hands on the wheel and being ready to take control is the safest approach. Regularly checking the vehicle's electronic systems is also crucial. If dashboard symbols flash, it may indicate a fault, and it's time to visit the repair shop.
When commuting with the Baojun 510, I found the SET button on the dashboard quite practical. It's the control button that allows you to set the current speed, such as pressing it to maintain a fixed speed, which is ideal for relaxed driving on highways. The operation is straightforward: first turn on the cruise control switch, then press SET to lock the speed. To increase or decrease speed, simply press RES or CANCEL to adjust. However, be cautious not to use it in congested areas as it can easily lead to accidents. I remember once using it on the outskirts of the city when a car suddenly changed lanes in front of me; fortunately, I braked in time. For regular maintenance, it's advisable to check the owner's manual for details about this function. Other symbols like the thermometer or odometer are also worth noting to avoid misuse.
