Press the cruise control switch located on the right-hand side switch group of the steering wheel. Once the speed meets the required conditions, press the set button to maintain the current speed. The plus and minus buttons next to it are for acceleration and deceleration. Below is an introduction to cruise control: 1. In principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. On non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions are not conducive to traffic safety. On national highways, some tractors lack sufficient power and may suddenly emerge from small intersections, posing a serious threat to vehicles on the highway. Under cruise control, drivers may be caught off guard. Repeated braking also makes it difficult to maintain a stable cruise control state, defeating the purpose of cruise control. 2. It is prohibited to use cruise control in rainy or snowy conditions. 3. It should also be disabled on winding mountain roads or roads with too many curves. Normally, when navigating curves, appropriate acceleration is needed to provide greater steering force. Under cruise control, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, with the throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can pose dangers when driving on curves. Under such conditions, drivers should appropriately control the vehicle's speed.

Using the cruise control on the Grand Cherokee is actually quite simple. I often use it on long-distance highways, and it's very convenient. First, get on the road and accelerate to your desired speed, whether it's 80km/h or 100km/h. Then, locate the button on the steering wheel with the small car icon—press it to activate cruise control. If you need to fine-tune the speed, use the adjacent + or - buttons. If you hit the brakes or press the cancel button, cruise control will deactivate. On the Grand Cherokee, the system responds quickly and maintains stability well, helping you save fuel and drive more comfortably. Avoid using it in crowded urban areas due to higher risks. It's recommended to regularly check if the cruise control buttons are responsive to prevent malfunctions. Safety first—it's a great feature to use!

What is the reason for the steering wheel being slightly off-center when driving straight?

The reason why the steering wheel is slightly off-center when driving straight is due to a fault in the adjustment of the vehicle's tie rod angles. If the steering wheel's deviation angle is not significant, it can be fixed by adjusting the tie rods. The vehicle's steering tie rods are divided into the steering drag link and the steering tie rod. The steering drag link is responsible for transmitting the movement of the steering arm to the steering knuckle arm, while the steering tie rod serves as the base of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, ensuring the normal operation of the left and right steering wheels. The solution is: 1. Prepare a wrench, turn the vehicle's steering wheel all the way to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel, loosen the fastening nut with the wrench, and then rotate the left tie rod clockwise (clockwise refers to the position of the tie rod relative to the tie rod base; rotating the left tie rod inward shortens it). 2. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left to expose the rear of the right front wheel, loosen the fastening nut with the wrench, and then rotate the right tie rod counterclockwise (rotating the right tie rod outward lengthens it). 3. If the left tie rod is rotated inward by one full turn, the right tie rod must also be rotated outward by one full turn to ensure equal adjustment on both sides.

What are the precautions for picking up a car and the steps for vehicle inspection?

Precautions for picking up a car are: Be sure to check whether all the materials of the vehicle are complete, such as the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle consistency certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, etc. The steps for vehicle inspection are: Verify the vehicle: For example, check whether the vehicle certificate of conformity matches the information on the vehicle nameplate located on the driver's side door or in the engine compartment; Inspect the vehicle exterior: For example, check for scratches and wear on the paint, and observe the degree of wear on the tire surface; Check vehicle functions: For example, whether the lights are working properly, whether the air conditioning is cooling, whether the audio system is functioning normally, whether the wipers are working, and whether the windows can be raised and lowered properly.

What are the symbols for low beam and high beam headlights?

The symbol for low beam headlights is a green tilted line shape, while the symbol for high beam headlights is blue-white with straight lines. Low beams have a lower angle and shorter range of illumination, whereas high beams have more concentrated light with a larger bright spot, allowing them to illuminate higher and farther areas. Alternating between high and low beams at night can alert vehicles ahead and pedestrians nearby. Both high and low beams are used for nighttime illumination. When driving in the city, avoid using high beams because urban areas typically have good lighting conditions. The high angle of high beams can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, impairing their vision and creating safety hazards. Moreover, it is considered uncivilized driving behavior. Use low beams when meeting oncoming vehicles, encountering pedestrians on the roadside at night, or navigating narrow roads, bridges, or curves. High beams should be used on roads without streetlights or during nights when the road is straight and visibility is poor. Besides illumination, car headlights also serve as a "language" for communication between drivers. Proper use of light signals can help prevent accidents and serve as a "reminder" or "warning."

How to accurately determine reference points for parallel parking?

Adjusting position: Before parallel parking, first adjust the vehicle's position. When the front wheels cross the parking line, slow down and observe the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the parking line, prepare for parallel parking. Observing rearview mirrors: During the reversing process, watch the right rearview mirror. When the right rear wheel appears parallel to the parking line, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe the left rearview mirror, and when the inner corner of the parking space becomes visible, straighten the steering wheel. Continue observing the left rearview mirror, and when the left rear wheel touches the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Straightening the wheels: Following this method, the vehicle will gradually align itself. Observe both side mirrors, and when the car body becomes parallel with the parking lines on both sides, straighten the steering wheel.

What Does Low Engine Coolant Level Mean?

Low engine coolant level means there is insufficient coolant, and it should be replenished promptly. The function of engine coolant is to maintain the operating engine within a normal temperature range. It cools the engine when it overheats and also provides antifreeze, anticorrosion, and anti-scaling effects. The steps for adding coolant are: 1. If the car has been driven, wait for the engine to cool down before refilling; 2. Open the hood and locate the engine coolant reservoir, which is spherical and has a triangular thermometer-like symbol on the cap; 3. Turn the coolant reservoir cap counterclockwise. If a hissing sound is heard, wait until it stops before opening; 4. Add an appropriate amount of coolant into the reservoir, filling it to the level between the MAX and MIN marks for the first time; 5. Close the cap, start the car, and the coolant level will gradually drop. At this point, add coolant again, still filling it to the level between the MAX and MIN marks.

Will Washing the Car Remove Wax?

Washing the car will not remove the wax after application. It is important to inform the detailing shop when the wax was last applied, as after waxing, only regular water washing is needed. Applying solid wax protects the car's paint, preventing marks from rain or chemical substances like bird droppings, and also shields the body from minor scratches. The effect typically lasts about a month, but it is not significantly affected by washing the car. To prevent rust spots on white cars, methods include frequent washing, proper paint protection measures, waxing and sealing, coating and crystal coating, and avoiding parking under trees.
