How to Use Cruise Control on the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
To use the cruise control on the Volkswagen Magotan: 1. While driving, push the speed cruise control lever located on the left rear side of the steering wheel to the 'on' position. 2. When the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press the 'set' button on the lever to store the current speed and enter cruise control mode. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The 2020 Magotan features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150ps, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Magotan for almost a year now, and I've found the cruise control really helpful on highways. The first step is to start the car and get moving—the speed must exceed 30 km/h. Usually, there's a cruise icon button on the left side of the steering wheel; press it once to light up the indicator, which means it's activated. Then, use the adjacent +/- buttons to set the current speed as the cruising speed. Press the '+' button to accelerate or the '-' button to decelerate. Once set, the car will automatically maintain the speed, and you can take your foot off the accelerator. To temporarily cancel it, lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button. To resume, press the resume button to continue at the previous speed. I don't use it much during rush hour commutes because the stop-and-go traffic makes it inconvenient, but it's great for long road trips to save energy. Remember to check if the buttons are responsive each time you use the car to prevent malfunctions. Overall, it's simple to operate, but make sure the road is clear and safe—don't get distracted by your phone.
