How to Use the Cruise Control in Volkswagen Golf?
2 Answers
To use the cruise control in Volkswagen Golf: 1. Turn the cruise control switch from OFF to ON on the left operation lever; 2. Press the plus or minus button at the top of the left operation lever until a green indicator appears on the dashboard, indicating the cruise control is activated; 3. The vehicle will maintain the current speed as the set cruise control speed; 4. Step on the brake pedal to deactivate cruise control, and the green clock icon on the dashboard will disappear. The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car produced by FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 Golf as an example, its dimensions are: length 4296mm, width 1788mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2636mm.
When using cruise control on my Golf, it feels like having an extra helper, especially on long highway drives where it saves a lot of effort. To activate it, first accelerate to your desired speed, usually above 30 km/h, then lightly press the SET button on the steering wheel—the system will remember this speed, and the car will automatically maintain it. To adjust the speed slightly faster or slower, simply press the plus or minus buttons next to SET. In case of emergencies, just lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to immediately exit cruise control and regain manual control. If you temporarily brake and want to resume the original speed, use the RES button for one-touch reactivation. A reminder: avoid relying on it in crowded urban areas or on wet roads during rain, as it can easily lead to loss of control. Also, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and stay focused. I often use this feature on highways, and it even helps reduce fuel consumption a bit—the overall experience is fantastic. Regularly check the button responsiveness to avoid aging-related malfunctions—safety always comes first.
