How to Cancel the Exclamation Mark in Volkswagen Cruise Control?
2 Answers
This is likely due to a malfunction in the cruise control system, requiring a check of the wiring, especially the lines near the cruise control switch. If you're not knowledgeable about this, it's best to seek professional assistance. To cancel the current cruise control speed in a Volkswagen, there are three methods: press the brake pedal, press the cancel button, or press the OFF button. This will deactivate the current cruise control. Below are precautions for using cruise control: 1. Rainy and snowy weather: Road surfaces are slippery, and conditions can change rapidly, making cruise control unsuitable. It's also not advisable to use cruise control on other complex road sections; it can be turned off or canceled in advance. 2. When exiting a curve normally: It's necessary to apply appropriate throttle to provide greater steering force. However, in cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, with the throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can pose risks when driving through curves. In such situations, cruise control is also not recommended.
That day when I was driving my Volkswagen on the highway, the cruise control suddenly lit up with an exclamation mark light, which really puzzled me. Later, I tried pressing the brake pedal, and it turned off directly. If you encounter this situation, don’t panic. First, check if the system is activated. Sometimes, the exclamation mark is just a reminder, indicating that the cruise control is running. If the light keeps flashing or won’t turn off, it might be a minor wiring issue, like a stuck button or a faulty sensor. In my case, it was just dust on the button, and wiping it with a tissue helped a lot. If simple fixes don’t work, it’s recommended to visit a professional shop to check the fuses and modules. Don’t rush to tamper with it to avoid any danger. Volkswagen’s system is quite smart—maintaining a steady speed is super practical, but minor issues should be addressed early.
