The method to turn off cruise control is: press the cruise control button and then step on the brake pedal to deactivate it. Cruise control automatically maintains the vehicle's speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed. When the cruise control function is activated, pressing the accelerator can increase the speed to meet or exceed the minimum cruise control speed. Once the cruise control function is confirmed to be active, the engine will automatically supply fuel to meet the power requirements for the current speed. Precautions for using cruise control include: 1. Use it on highways or fully enclosed roads; 2. Avoid using it in rainy or snowy conditions; 3. Avoid using it on winding mountain roads, roads with too many curves, or poor-quality surfaces; 4. Avoid using it when there is heavy traffic on the road.

I usually use cruise control for my daily commute, and turning it off is quite simple. The most direct method is to lightly tap the brake pedal, which will automatically cancel the cruise mode and return you to manual speed control. There's usually a cancel button on the steering wheel as well—pressing it will immediately deactivate the cruise. From my experience with various car models, I've found that tapping the brake is the most reliable method because it directly interrupts the signal; the button can sometimes lead to accidental presses, especially at high speeds, so avoid fumbling. After deactivating, the car will slow down, so it's a good habit to check the dashboard indicator to confirm it's off. Also, remember that cruise control is just an assist tool—manual deceleration feels safer, especially in traffic jams or rainy conditions. Regularly inspect the braking system during maintenance to prevent sudden malfunctions that could compromise safety.

Do You Need to Look at the Interior Rearview Mirror While Driving?

Driving requires checking the interior rearview mirror. Functions of the interior rearview mirror: The most basic function of the interior rearview mirror is to observe rear passengers, especially children in the back seat, by using the mirror. The interior rearview mirror can also be used to judge distance, assist in turning, and observe vehicles behind when emergency braking. Rearview mirror adjustment techniques: The driver should maintain a suitable sitting position, adjust the mirror vertically to ensure the window is fully visible in the mirror, with the horizon positioned at the center horizontally. Adjust the mirror laterally so that the line of sight passes just outside the right ear, with the reflection of the driver's right ear appearing at the left edge of the mirror. The exterior rearview mirror should be adjusted outward to avoid overlapping with the interior rearview mirror.

Can a dual-clutch transmission be driven in manual mode?

Dual-clutch transmissions can be operated in manual mode. Introduction to Dual-Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of transmission mechanism. Unlike conventional automatic transmission systems, it combines the characteristics of both manual and automatic transmissions. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. Working Principle of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) is based on the structure of a manual transmission. However, unlike a manual transmission, the DCT features two clutches connected to two input shafts. Gear shifting and clutch operations are controlled by an integrated mechatronic module consisting of electronic and hydraulic components, eliminating the need for a clutch pedal.
