Golf's cruise control is operated via buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Details are as follows: 1. Activate CCS: Move the switch on the turn signal lever to the ON position, or press the cruise control activation button on the multifunction steering wheel. 2. Enable CCS control function: Press the SET/- button at the lower end of the turn signal lever, or press the SET button on the multifunction steering wheel. 3. Temporarily deactivate CCS control function: Move the switch on the turn signal lever to the CANCEL position, or press the CNL button on the multifunction steering wheel. 4. Resume CCS speed control function: Press the RES/+ button at the upper end of the turn signal lever, or press the RES button on the multifunction steering wheel.

I usually rely heavily on the cruise control when driving my Golf on the highway—it saves both fuel and effort. The operation is actually quite simple: first, locate the main cruise control switch with the speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel and press it to activate the system. A white cruise icon will appear on the dashboard. Accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, then press the SET button to lock in that speed—the icon will turn green, and you can release the throttle. To increase speed, tap the RES/+ button, and to decrease, tap the SET/- button, with each press adjusting by 1 km/h. In case of any situation, pressing the brake or the CANCEL button will pause the cruise control. To resume the set speed, simply press RES. It's recommended for use on highways and expressways; during rainy weather or on winding roads, manual control is safer. Remember to keep your foot near the brake after setting the speed, just in case.

What Causes the Charging System Failure in Land Rover?

Due to a charging system failure, the battery light is on, the tailgate cannot be lifted after the engine is turned off, and the dashboard displays a low battery level. Below are the specific details: 1. Analysis of Fault Symptoms: Abnormal alternator. Issues with the battery monitoring system. Faulty gateway module. Loose battery terminals. Problems with the battery itself. Failure of the auxiliary small battery. 2. Fault Inspection: Checked the battery terminals and found no looseness, ruling out terminal connection issues. It might be a single battery, eliminating the auxiliary battery problem. Measured the alternator output with a multimeter at 14.3V, observed voltage changes when switching electrical devices, and measured the starting voltage at 11.23V, confirming that both the alternator and battery are functioning normally.

Do You Need to Return to Neutral When Shifting from First to Second Gear?

Since there is no neutral position between first and second gear, it can be skipped. However, for subsequent gear changes, such as shifting from second to third gear or from third to fourth gear, you will pass through neutral, so you should pause for about a second before engaging the corresponding gear. Below is relevant information about paddle shifters: 1. Introduction: Paddle shifters are gear-shifting devices installed on cars with semi-automatic clutches, allowing gear changes without using the foot clutch by simply pulling the paddle shifter. This device is widely used in racing cars. 2. Product Categories: There are two types of paddle shifters: fixed and follow-up. Fixed paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the dashboard, meaning they do not move when the steering wheel is turned. Follow-up paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the steering wheel, meaning they rotate along with the steering wheel during turns.

How often is the review for a large vehicle driver's license?

Large vehicle driver's licenses are reviewed every two years. Below is the relevant introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether the main assemblies have been replaced; and whether they match the initial inspection records. 2. Related procedures: For vehicles that cannot undergo the inspection on schedule due to long-term assignments in other regions, the owner should submit an application and report to the local vehicle management office for delegated inspection by the vehicle management office at the stationed location. After inspection, the results will be notified to the original vehicle management office. Vehicles that cannot participate in the annual inspection on schedule due to special circumstances should apply for an extension in advance with the local vehicle management office.

What is the braking distance for a small car at 40 km/h during emergency braking?

Braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the friction coefficient. The friction coefficient μ is related to various factors, with a general value of around 0.8. It can drop below 0.2 on rainy days and even lower on icy or snowy roads. Assuming a friction coefficient μ of 0.8, the braking distance at a speed of 40 km/h is 7.9 meters. Rust on car brake discs is a normal phenomenon. Here is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Slight rust: Minor rust often occurs, such as after the car is left in the rain overnight or when it doesn't dry properly after washing. In such cases, continuous braking during driving can help remove the rust, as the brake disc rubs against the brake caliper during braking, and the rust will be worn off after multiple applications of the brakes. 2. Severe rust: If the brake disc has severe rust, the entire surface of the brake disc will be covered with a relatively thick layer of rust. Stubborn rust can also accelerate the wear of brake pads, so it's necessary to take the car to a repair shop to have the brake disc polished.
