How to Use the Cruise Control in Golf?
2 Answers
Golf cruise control usage is as follows: Press the switch to turn it on: There is a switch above the turn signal, first turn it to the side near the door (indicating it's on), then press the button on the side of the turn signal control lever to use it. When decelerating by pressing the brake: When decelerating by pressing the brake, the cruise control automatically turns off. If the above switch is not turned off and the cruise control computer is turned back on, it will default to the last set speed. Even if the current speed is insufficient, continuing to use the cruise control will automatically supply fuel to reach the last specified speed. The side of the cruise control handle can be used to control the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration, pressing upward to accelerate and downward to decelerate.
The cruise control in the Golf is quite convenient to use, and I often utilize it during long highway drives. After starting the vehicle, locate the cruise control button on the steering wheel or the side lever, then press it to activate the system. Once you reach your desired speed, say 100 km/h, lightly tap the set button, and the car will automatically maintain that speed. To adjust the speed, simply press the + or - buttons for incremental changes. If road conditions change, stepping on the brake will immediately deactivate the system, or you can press the cancel button to return to manual control. I find this feature incredibly effortless, especially on flat roads, as it reduces foot fatigue and saves fuel. However, remember not to use it in heavy traffic, during rain or fog, or on mountainous roads—safety should always come first. After experimenting a few times, you’ll get the hang of it, and it significantly enhances the driving experience, making even two-hour drives feel effortless.
