How to Use the Cruise Control in the Magotan?
2 Answers
The usage method of the cruise control in the Magotan: On the left side of the Magotan's multifunction steering wheel, there is a button with a speedometer icon, which is the cruise control switch. Press this button to activate the cruise control system, then press the set button to store the current speed. At this point, the vehicle can drive at the stored speed. Cruise control is a feature equipped in many cars, which can reduce the driver's workload. Cruise control is a device installed in cars that can automatically control the vehicle's speed. The new Magotan inherits the high technical standards of German sedans. In terms of active safety, the Magotan 1.8TSI and all models are equipped with a high-level ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent the vehicle from skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds, thereby maximizing the safety of the driver and the vehicle.
I've only been driving my Volkswagen Magotan for a few months, and the cruise control makes driving much easier. After you get on the road, accelerate to around 50km/h, which is the normal cruising speed on highways. Press the cruise button on the steering wheel—usually, a speedometer icon lights up to indicate activation. When you reach your desired speed, press the SET button to lock it in, allowing you to release the accelerator as the car automatically maintains a constant speed. After that, use the + or - buttons to fine-tune the speed as needed. Temporarily pressing the brake or the cancel button pauses the cruise control, but the system remembers your setting; pressing RES will restore the previous speed. It's especially useful for long highway drives or open roads, reducing fatigue and saving fuel—particularly on downhill slopes where the system automatically controls the throttle for added convenience. However, beginners might feel nervous at first, so I recommend practicing several times on simpler roads. Don’t forget to check tire pressure and ensure the system indicator lights are functioning properly before starting.
