Left-side buttons mainly control the cruise control functions: cruise on/off, cancel cruise, resume cruise, set cruise, automatic emergency braking, steering wheel heating, voice control, and call hang-up. Right-side buttons primarily manage the multimedia system and instrument cluster: selection/confirmation, volume adjustment, trip computer control, and song switching. Below are relevant details: Positioning: The XT5 debuted in 2016 as a crucial mid-range model in Cadillac's SUV lineup. From the XT4 to the XT6, the three models have distinct positioning. The XT5 and XT6 cater to families and large families respectively, addressing rigid demands for space usage, with the latter also serving business scenarios. Facelift: Beyond the night vision system, the new CUE infotainment system, and over 20 standard safety features, the facelifted XT5 also features significant powertrain upgrades—equipped with 48V mild-hybrid technology across the entire range.

I've been driving the XT5 for almost three years now, and the entire left side of the steering wheel is dedicated to cruise control. The round button with an arrow in the middle is the cruise control switch—press it and use the adjacent +/- buttons to adjust speed. When the car ahead slows down, just press CANCEL to exit cruise control, and hit RESUME to reactivate it. The vertical bar buttons on the right control following distance, making it easy to adjust proximity. The right side of the steering wheel is more lively, with the most noticeable being the phone icon button—it handles all call functions. The rotary dial adjusts volume, while the up/down arrows change songs or radio stations. The microphone button wakes the voice assistant. Steering wheel heating isn't useful in the south, but my northern friends say pressing the heating button in the lower left corner for 3 seconds brings warmth in winter. There are also two metal paddles on the back—left for downshifting and right for upshifting.

What is the reason for the Cayenne's start-stop malfunction?

What are the precautions for car washing at gas station car wash machines?

Precautions for car washing at gas station car wash machines include fire and explosion prevention, as well as lightning protection and avoidance. Fire and Explosion Prevention: For gas station car wash machines, it is crucial to pay attention to fire and explosion prevention. Gasoline vapor is denser than air and tends to accumulate near the ground. To prevent fires, the contactors used in car wash machines must be 24V low-voltage contactors to avoid contact oxidation and coil overheating caused by frequent use. Lightning Protection and Avoidance: Attention should be paid to lightning protection and avoidance. In the southern regions, car wash machines are often installed in open areas at gas stations. Gas station buildings are generally not very tall. During rainy weather, car wash machines may be struck by lightning. When purchasing a car wash machine, it is essential to choose one equipped with lightning protection measures to avoid unnecessary losses. Additionally, when installing a car wash machine at a gas station, the installation location must be kept away from the fuel unloading port, not only for safety reasons but also to avoid obstructing the entry of fuel dispensers during unloading.

What is the reason for the automatic start-stop failure in the new smart car?

The reasons for the automatic start-stop failure in the new smart car are as follows: Battery depletion: The automatic start-stop function primarily relies on the battery's capacity. When starting the engine, the extremely high current consumes a significant amount of battery power. Therefore, cars equipped with this function use high-capacity batteries that can withstand large current surges. When the battery power is depleted to a certain extent and can no longer continuously provide the massive current required, the automatic start-stop function will automatically deactivate to protect the battery and maintain its lifespan. In such cases, replacing the battery with a new one is necessary. Vehicle temperature and other issues: The engine coolant temperature has not risen after a cold start (normally below 70 degrees Celsius); the outside temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, or the interior temperature with heating on is below 20 degrees Celsius; the steering wheel angle exceeds 30 degrees; the driver in the front seat is not wearing a seatbelt; parking on a slope (e.g., a gradient of 10% or more).
