What does cancel mean in Lavida?

[StJosiah]

cancel is the button to deactivate the cruise control, which replaces the action of braking and feels smoother. For drivers with good anticipation, canceling the cruise control in advance to let the vehicle coast can save more fuel. The specific usage of cruise control is as follows: 1. Press the ON/OFF key to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 40km/h), then press the SET key—your right foot can now release the accelerator as the speed is set at the current rate; 3. Press "RES+" to increase the speed from the current setting, or press "SET-" to decrease it; 4. There are three ways to deactivate cruise control: press the brake, press the cancel (CANCEL) key, or press the ON/OFF key; 5. If cruise control is canceled by pressing the brake or the cancel key, you can press the RES key to resume the previous cruise control speed.

As a Lavida owner for three years, I use the 'cancel' button four to five times daily. In layman's terms, this English label means the 'cancel' function button: 1. When setting navigation routes, pressing it directly clears mistakenly entered addresses; 2. During cruise control, lightly tapping the brake temporarily deactivates cruise, but the dashboard icon keeps flashing—you must press 'cancel' to fully exit; 3. When switching songs, it can interrupt the operation if the wrong playlist is selected. Most practically, when the car ahead suddenly slows down on the highway, pressing 'cancel' to deactivate cruise is faster than braking. The Lavida's button layout is ergonomic, located in the right functional area of the steering wheel where the thumb naturally rests. If held for over three seconds, some models may reboot the infotainment system.

This button is frequently asked about during car repairs. The CANCEL button in Volkswagen vehicles is a multifunctional control button, primarily serving four purposes: completely deactivating cruise control (more thorough than braking), stopping multimedia playback, canceling voice commands, and returning from menu operations. It functions like an undo button for the car. In the high-end version of the Lavida, it has an additional feature—holding it down can turn off the active braking system warning. Note that the cruise control must be activated (indicated by a green icon on the dashboard) for the CANCEL button to take effect. Settings are automatically reset after the engine is turned off and restarted. It is recommended that owners allow a 1-second trigger time, as the system requires a brief delay to respond.
