To activate cruise control in the Passat, use the buttons located on the left side of the steering wheel. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Drive the car to a desired speed. 2. Press the cruise control switch (marked with 0/1). 3. Adjust the speed using the '+' or '-' buttons to reach your preferred speed. 4. Press SET to confirm. Here are some additional button functions: 1. RES stands for 'Resume'. If cruise control is canceled, pressing RES will restore the previous cruise control speed. 2. The middle buttons: '-' decreases speed, while '+' increases speed. 3. The button with a small car icon and three horizontal lines below adjusts the following distance.

Using the cruise control in a Passat is actually super simple. After driving for so many years, I've summarized some tips. First, accelerate the car to over 40 km/h, then you can find the cruise control button on the left side of the steering wheel, usually a small icon. Press it to activate the system. Next, maintain your desired speed and press the SET button or the +/- buttons to set the cruising speed. The dashboard will light up to indicate activation. To cancel cruise control, simply step on the brake or press the CANCEL button, and the cruise will stop immediately. I find it especially convenient on highways—no need to constantly press the accelerator, and it helps save some fuel. Just remember not to use it recklessly in heavy traffic; safety comes first. Practice regularly to avoid misoperation.

The cruise control design of the new Passat is very user-friendly, and I often rely on it to relax when driving on the highway. First, accelerate to around 30 km/h, then press the cruise activation button on the steering wheel, which is usually located in the middle left position. Next, press the accelerator to reach your desired speed and press the SET button to lock it in, after which the system will automatically control the throttle. You can use the + button to increase speed and the - button to decrease speed. Exiting cruise control is straightforward—just tap the brake or press the cancel button. This feature reduces fatigue during long-distance driving, and combined with the speed display on the dashboard, it helps me stay more focused. However, always check if the cruise control is functioning properly and avoid using it in rainy or slippery conditions.

As a Passat owner, I love using cruise control to simplify driving whenever I take my kids on the road. After reaching the desired speed, activate the system by pressing a button on the steering wheel, then use the set button to lock in the current speed. Adjusting the cruising speed is easy with the increase/decrease buttons. The simplest way to deactivate cruise control is by pressing the brake to ensure safety. While using it, avoid distractions; it's convenient and comfortable on highways but not recommended in heavy city traffic. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel to be ready for any speed changes.

Should the Generator Belt and Tensioner Pulley Be Replaced Together?

Both must be replaced together. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The service life of the belt tensioner pulley is limited. 2. Cars generally exhibit the following scenarios: (1) The tensioner pulley may fail before the belt shows any signs of damage. Therefore, replacing the belt indicates that its lifespan has expired (2) Although the tensioner pulley may not be damaged at present, its remaining lifespan is short. While it is possible to wait until it fails to replace it, doing so carries significant risks. (3) If the tensioner pulley is severely damaged, it can damage the new belt, and even if it doesn't, it may not function properly. (4) Replacing the belt is to avoid breakage and driving failures, eliminating potential hazards. If the tensioner pulley is not replaced, the hazard remains. Therefore, for safety reasons, both the belt and the tensioner pulley should be replaced together.

What causes the jerk when shifting from CVTD to N?

Damaged solenoid valves are a major cause of jerking. The distinction is simple: occasional jerking occurs without a pattern, while consistent jerking happens at a certain RPM or when shifting between specific gears (e.g., from 2nd to 3rd). The reason for jerking at fixed speeds is: sludge in the transmission fluid circulating and clogging the oil passages in the valve body. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission issues such as overheating, harsh shifting, and slipping. More reasons are as follows: 1. Presence of contaminants: Transmission jerking or harsh shifting is often not due to internal valve body damage but rather stubborn dirt and contaminants inside, especially when they accumulate in the valve body, blocking oil passages and preventing effective oil pressure regulation, leading to jerking, harsh shifting, and slipping. The traditional solution is to replace the transmission fluid. 2. Insufficient air intake: The engine's air intake system—engines require not only fuel but also air. If components like the air filter or throttle body are clogged or malfunctioning, reducing air intake, it can result in sluggish acceleration and jerking. The ignition system should not be overlooked either; if spark plugs misfire, leak, or fail to atomize properly, it can also affect engine acceleration.

What stickers are suitable for blue cars?

Generally, for blue cars, you can choose white or yellow stickers. White is the best option as it creates a harmonious and eye-catching effect, while yellow offers a contrasting look. Stickers primarily serve a decorative purpose, so it's important not to choose colors that clash too much with the car's original color. Here are some sticker considerations: 1. Avoid yellow and red stickers: Yellow and red are typically used for emergency repairs and warnings, so using these colors may result in penalties. It's worth noting that stickers cannot be applied arbitrarily—size and placement matter. Car stickers must comply with regulations; otherwise, they may fail annual inspections. If spotted by traffic police, you could also face fines. 2. Sticker area: If you want to apply stickers to your car, the total area must not exceed 30% of the car's surface. Exceeding this limit requires filing with the vehicle management office and obtaining a new vehicle license. Additionally, stickers must not be placed in any location that obstructs the driver's view or affects driving safety, as this will also cause the car to fail the annual inspection. Lastly, stickers resembling police insignia are prohibited.

What is the reason for BMW X3 air conditioning not cooling?

The reasons are: lack of refrigerant in the air conditioning system / the refrigerant pressure switch detects too low pressure or pressure switch failure; air conditioning compressor failure; air conditioning control unit failure; air conditioning function switch failure; air conditioning system wiring harness open circuit / short circuit failure. Here is the extended information: 1. How air conditioning works: The air conditioning system mainly works by the compressor compressing the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which then flows through the pipeline into the condenser. In the condenser, it is cooled and condensed into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant by the cooling fan. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the pipeline into the dryer reservoir, where it is dried and filtered before flowing into the expansion valve for throttling. Its state changes dramatically, turning into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant that enters the evaporator. In the evaporator, it absorbs the heat from the air flowing through the evaporator, lowering the air temperature and blowing out cold air, producing a cooling effect. 2. How refrigerant works: The refrigerant itself evaporates into a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after absorbing heat, and is then sucked into the compressor through the pipeline for compression. As long as the compressor works continuously, the refrigerant circulates continuously in the air conditioning system, producing a cooling effect. When the compressor stops working, the refrigerant in the air conditioning system stops flowing, and no cooling effect is produced.
