"+" and "-" can control the speed of cruise control, with "+" for acceleration and "-" for deceleration. The distance for cruise control is activated via the distance adjustment button, and then set using "+" and "-". The autonomous driving system mainly includes the lane keeping system and adaptive cruise control. With the support of the lane keeping system, cruise control becomes more reliable.

I often use the cruise control in my BMW 3 Series while driving, and it feels very effortless. After getting in the car and starting the engine, first accelerate to your desired speed, such as the speed limit of 80 or 100 km/h on the highway. Then, you'll usually see a button with an arrow on the steering wheel—press the SET button to activate cruise control, and a small icon will appear on the dashboard. If you want to adjust the speed slower or faster, just use the up and down buttons. It's very convenient to use, especially during long trips, giving your legs a break. In case of any situation, stepping on the brake or clutch will automatically pause the cruise control, and you can resume it by pressing the RES button. Remember to use it less in heavy traffic or rainy weather to ensure safety first. The overall operation is very intuitive, and you'll get the hang of it after trying a few times.

I'm used to frequently using the cruise control system on highways, and the operation is quite effortless. The first step is to start the engine, drive to the target speed, then locate the cruise control button area on the left side of the steering wheel, usually a circular button. Press the SET button once, and the system locks the current speed, with a green indicator lighting up on the screen. To fine-tune the speed, use the up and down buttons to increase or decrease it. In case of emergencies, pressing the accelerator to speed up or braking can temporarily deactivate it, and then press the RES button to resume. Related advice is to check the button sensitivity during regular vehicle maintenance to avoid accidental touches. Avoid using cruise control in heavy traffic to prevent rear-end collision risks. The BMW 3 Series responds quickly, and driving it helps reduce fatigue.

How to Remove Odor from Car Air Conditioning?

Depending on the duration of use, the following three methods should be applied as appropriate: 1. Run the fan at high speed. 2. Clean the air conditioning ducts: Locate the installation position of the air filter, spray the cleaning agent into the duct from the filter position, turn on the air conditioning to the highest setting, open the windows, and run for a few minutes. 3. Replace the air conditioning filter: A heavily soiled filter not only fails to purify but can also cause secondary pollution. Under normal circumstances, an original air conditioning filter has a service life of one year or 30,000 kilometers. If the vehicle frequently operates in areas with poor air quality, the replacement cycle of the filter should be shortened accordingly.

How to Turn on the Volkswagen Wiper?

To operate the Volkswagen wiper: Turn the wiper control switch on the right side of the steering wheel clockwise to activate the rear wiper, and counterclockwise to turn it off. Pressing the wiper control switch toward yourself activates the front wiper washer, while pushing it toward the dashboard activates the rear wiper washer. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid to avoid dry wiping. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually, as these can easily damage the wiper blades, leading to poor wiping performance. In severe cases, the wiper motor may also be affected. During winter use, first remove ice from the windshield surface with an ice scraper to prevent overburdening the wiper.

Do New Cars Need High-Speed Running-In?

New cars do not require high-speed running-in. Rumor: High-speed running-in can make the meshing between new gears smoother. Fact: Due to improvements in manufacturing processes, this practice is no longer effective. Deliberately driving at high speeds in low gear may cause overheating, cylinder scoring, and damage to the car. Additionally, excessively high speeds are unsafe for the driver. Rumor: High-speed running-in can help with break-in and test the machine's working condition. Fact: Vehicle components have already undergone testing. Forcing the car to its speed limit will only accelerate component aging, significantly increase engine wear, and does not help in cleaning carbon deposits.

How to Safely Drive Through a Crosswalk?

Safe driving practices through a crosswalk are as follows: 1. Traffic Signals: Pay attention to traffic signals and markings. When approaching a crosswalk, vehicles must slow down in advance. 2. Yielding: When the pedestrian signal turns green, vehicles must stop and wait outside the stop line, allowing pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles in the crosswalk to pass first. 3. Waiting: Be mindful of the movement of pedestrians in the crosswalk and patiently wait for them to pass safely. Do not honk at elderly, blind, or physically weak individuals who move slowly, and never attempt to dangerously bypass them to avoid accidents. 4. Observation: When there are no pedestrians in the crosswalk, observe whether there are pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles suddenly rushing through from either end of the crosswalk.

What does a car keyless start system mean?

Introduction to car keyless start system: It means starting the vehicle without taking out or turning a key. Simply keep the key in your bag or pocket, press the button inside the car or turn the ignition knob to start the engine. The well-known one-button start is its derivative function. Below is related introduction about keyless start types: 1. Button type: The ignition button is located within easy reach on the center console, hence also called "one-button start", such as in BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc.; 2. Knob type: Generally located at the original key slot, but there's no need to insert the car key, just turn the knob to start, such as in Nissan, Mazda, etc.

Is Parking Fee Charged at Charging Stations?

Most charging stations require parking fees, which are charged according to local standards. If the charging time is relatively long, the parking fee may even exceed the charging cost. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Service Fee: Currently, public charging piles in China are operated and managed by different entities, and the charging fee generally consists of a basic electricity fee and a service fee. The service fee varies based on the approved range by local price bureaus. 2. Popularization of New Energy: Charging standards differ significantly across regions and stages, but the underlying principle remains the same—"contributing to the development of new energy in China." The relationship between new energy vehicles and charging pile development is akin to the chicken-and-egg dilemma. To popularize new energy vehicles, charging piles must be deployed in advance to address the concerns of new energy vehicle owners.
