How to Use Cruise Control in a Volkswagen Golf?
2 Answers
To use the cruise control in a Volkswagen Golf, follow these steps: 1. Activate CCS: Move switch 1 on the turn signal lever to the ON position, or press the cruise control activation button on the multifunction steering wheel. 2. Enable CCS control: Press the lower part of button 2 (SET/-) on the turn signal lever, or press the SET button on the multifunction steering wheel. 3. Temporarily deactivate CCS control: Move switch 1 on the turn signal lever to the CANCEL position, or press the CNL button on the multifunction steering wheel.
I've been driving a Golf for a while now, and the cruise control is an absolute godsend for long-distance driving. First, start your vehicle and reach your desired speed, say 80 km/h on the highway. Then, look at the steering wheel—there's a button on the left or right side with a small speedometer icon. Press it to lock in your current speed. After that, you don't need to press the accelerator anymore; the car will maintain a steady speed on its own. If you want to go faster or slower, there are +/- buttons on the steering wheel—just a light press for fine adjustments. Canceling is easy too; just hit the brakes, and the system shuts off immediately. It's super comfortable on the highway, saving your legs and fuel, but remember not to try it in heavy traffic or city driving—it's too risky. Last time I drove to the coast, I used cruise control for two hours without any fatigue, though I had to remind myself not to get distracted by the scenery—safe driving always comes first. Regularly check the button functions to avoid malfunctions; the Golf's cruise control is reliable and quick to master.
