Start the vehicle's cruise control by sliding switch A to the ON position to activate the speed control system. First, accelerate the car to the desired speed, press and release the SET+ button, then release the accelerator pedal. Press the accelerator or brake pedal until the desired speed is reached. Hold SET+ or SET- to adjust the set speed in increments of approximately 1 km/h. To completely turn off the cruise control system, slide the switch to the OFF position, or turn off the ignition when the car is stationary, and the system will be fully deactivated.

I've driven Fords and Buicks for over a decade, using the cruise control system daily and finding it very convenient. The usage method is to first press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to activate it—the light indicates it's on. Then accelerate to your desired constant speed, say 70 km/h, and press the SET button to lock the speed. At this point, the car maintains speed on its own, no need to press the accelerator, making driving much more relaxed. To adjust the speed, press RESUME to increase or decrease by a few km/h. To pause, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to immediately deactivate. I mainly use it on highways for long trips—it saves effort and fuel—but never in the city or during rain, as it's unsafe. Ford's button design is ergonomic, and the RESUME button can restore the last set speed, which is super practical. Remember, cruise control is just an aid—keep hands on the wheel and stay alert to road conditions at all times.

What are the safety precautions for driving in heavy rain?

Here is the relevant introduction to precautions for driving in heavy rain: 1. Maintain a safe distance and avoid overtaking in rainy conditions: Driving in the rain should prioritize stability. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, avoid excessive speed, and always pay attention to the speed and direction of the preceding vehicle to prevent rear-end collisions. Due to reduced visibility during rain, avoid accelerating to overtake, as it may lead to accidents like rollovers, by which time it would be too late. 2. Prioritize driving safety and prevent skidding: In heavy rain, the road surface becomes slippery, reducing the friction coefficient between truck tires and the road, leading to longer braking distances and an increased risk of skidding. If the vehicle starts to skid, avoid slamming the brakes or making sharp turns to prevent side slipping. Truck drivers should maintain straight and low-speed driving in rainy conditions, and when encountering turns, apply the brakes gently to prevent wheel lock-up and vehicle skidding.

How many minutes does a new car need to warm up when starting?

Thirty seconds to one minute. The correct method for warming up the car is: After starting the engine, wait for 30 seconds to one minute before driving, but avoid driving at high RPMs at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000, ideally around 2000 RPM. Otherwise, the severe wear and tear on the engine and transmission may be irreversible. Once the engine temperature rises to the normal operating range (which typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes), you can resume normal driving. The main reasons for warming up the car are: After the car has been parked for an extended period, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting, the upper part of the engine is in a state without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after starting for the oil pump to circulate the oil to the parts of the engine that need lubrication the most, such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft.

Will replacing the tie rod end affect the car?

Replacing the tie rod end will not affect the car. The function of the tie rod end: The tie rod end is a rod with a ball joint housing. The ball joint of the steering spindle is placed inside the ball joint housing, and the ball joint is hinged with the edge of the shaft hole of the ball joint housing through the ball joint seat at its front end. The needle roller between the ball joint seat and the steering spindle is embedded in the groove of the inner hole surface of the ball joint seat, which can reduce the wear of the ball joint and improve the tensile resistance of the spindle. Symptoms of a damaged tie rod end: Rattling noise on bumpy roads; unstable car, swaying left and right; brake deviation; steering failure; excessive play in the ball joint, which can easily break under impact load; loose tie rod end can cause steering deviation, tire wear, steering wheel vibration, and in severe cases, the ball joint may fall off, leading to sudden wheel detachment.

What is the new car inspection called?

New car inspection is called PDI. The full name of "PDI" is "Pre-Delivery-Inspection". Generally, 4S stores will conduct a free PDI inspection before vehicle delivery to ensure the complete safety and performance of the new car for customers. PDI inspection items: Roughly include the exterior of the vehicle: appearance, paint surface, tire pressure (including the spare tire), door opening and closing, and even child locks, etc.; inside the engine compartment: battery status, fluid levels, etc. Steps of PDI inspection: First, the technician in the store will take a PDI work order, which contains more than 70 inspection items in total. The PDI standards of different brands may vary slightly, but at least the process on the inspection list should be completed. You can refuse to sign if the inspection is not done. Special attention: once you sign, it means you agree with the condition of the vehicle at the time of sale.

Is It Normal for a BMW Fan to Keep Running at Low Speed?

Engine fans continuously operating at low speed is due to the engine temperature, meaning the coolant temperature does not reach the level required for high-speed operation. This is influenced by the current external environment, particularly the weather. It's normal for the fan not to run at high speed now, but it might do so during extremely hot summer days. Methods to Address Overheating Engine Coolant: 1. Overheating Due to Insufficient Coolant: In this case, you need to add water. However, to prevent engine damage, do not add water immediately. Typically, you should first open the car's hood, then the engine cover to allow ventilation and heat dissipation. Only add water after the coolant temperature has decreased. 2. Overheating Caused by Water Pump Failure: Possible causes include seized bearings or damaged impeller blades. Seized bearings are less likely, but if the impeller is damaged, it should be replaced.

Where can yellow-label vehicles be inspected?

Yellow-label vehicle inspection locations will be notified after applying at the certification office. Yellow-label vehicle certification standards: The certification of yellow-label vehicles is based on exhaust emission standards, specifically China's National I and National III standards. China's 'Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (I)' implemented in 2001 is equivalent to Euro I standards. The 'Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (III)' implemented in 2007 is equivalent to Euro III standards. Yellow-label vehicle inspection procedures: Vehicle owners should bring their motor vehicle license and the 'Application Form for Subsidy Funds for Old Vehicle Replacement' to the yellow-label vehicle certification office to apply; The yellow-label vehicle certification office will arrange specific inspection times and locations based on the owner's application and notify the applicant according to centralized and unified principles; The applicant should go to the designated inspection line at the scheduled time for testing, paying only for the exhaust emission test. Inspection line personnel must not refuse inspection for any reason.
