CRUISE in cars refers to the electronic cruise control system, which mainly consists of four components: the command switch, sensors, the cruise control system ECU, and the throttle actuator. The CRUISEMAIN light on the dashboard is the cruise control switch indicator. Pressing the CRUISEMAIN button on the steering wheel will illuminate the green CRUISEMAIN indicator on the dashboard, indicating that the cruise control switch is turned on. You can freely set the vehicle to maintain any speed above 60 km/h. The system features automatic compensation for uphill and downhill driving to maintain a relatively constant speed. The cruise control will automatically deactivate and return to manual control when acceleration or braking actions are detected.

Once on the highway, a friend taught me about this button—it's the cruise control function. After reaching a certain speed, pressing the CRUISE button will illuminate a green icon on the dashboard, indicating activation. Then, use SET/+ to adjust the cruising speed, so your right foot doesn't have to keep pressing the accelerator. It's especially helpful during long drives, but remember, hitting the brakes will automatically deactivate it. Nowadays, many cars even have more advanced adaptive cruise control, which can automatically adjust speed based on the vehicle ahead.

Can You Feel It When the Side of Your Car Hits a Person?

Generally, you may feel it when the side of your car hits a person. Here are some relevant tips for novice drivers: 1. Precautions: Increase speed appropriately to maintain a safe distance. After completing a lane change or overtaking, slightly increase your speed (if safe) to create space for vehicles behind you, which is convenient for both yourself and others. 2. Techniques: Stay relaxed while driving as a beginner, maintain a good mindset, keep your speed between 40-60 km/h, avoid occupying lanes improperly, maintain a safe following distance, honk in advance when approaching curves, and reduce speed as much as possible during oncoming traffic.

What are the effects after a major car repair?

For older vehicles that have run over 150,000 kilometers, major repairs are a possibility. A major car repair mainly refers to an engine overhaul, which involves extensive disassembly of the engine for maintenance. The engine determines a significant portion of the car's performance, and its precision requirements are quite stringent. If the repair process disrupts the engine's precision alignment, a series of issues can naturally arise. Here is additional information: Severe oil burning due to wear and tear will definitely affect normal driving and lead to a vicious cycle of worsening engine carbon buildup. Oil burning is primarily caused by aging valve stem seals and engine wear, such as piston ring wear, cylinder liner wear, and piston wear, which result in poor sealing. In such cases, a major repair is necessary.

How to Deal with High Fuel Consumption in Peugeot 307?

Peugeot 307 high fuel consumption solutions: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon buildup leads to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, increasing fuel consumption. Regular cleaning of engine carbon deposits is necessary, including intake tract, throttle valve, fuel injectors, and cylinder deposits. Solution: Clean carbon deposits promptly. 2. Vehicle weight: Carrying excessively heavy loads can increase fuel consumption by about 2% compared to normal driving. Solution: Reduce unnecessary cargo to lighten the vehicle weight. 3. Clogged air filter: Restricted airflow causes an overly rich mixture or blocked exhaust pipe. Solution: Replace the air filter in time. 4. Worn spark plugs: Excessive gap wear in spark plug electrodes results in insufficient ignition, causing incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption. Solution: Replace spark plugs promptly. 5. Low cylinder pressure: Tests show that cylinder pressure below specified values increases fuel consumption by 20%-25%. Solution: Conduct timely cylinder pressure inspections.

What to Do When the Reversing Trajectory Disappears in the Eighth-Generation Camry?

The disappearing reversing trajectory in the eighth-generation Camry can be found in the settings of the reversing camera; otherwise, the reversing camera may be damaged. More information about the eighth-generation Camry is as follows: 1. Introduction: The eighth-generation Camry is the first strategic sedan under Toyota's TNGA platform in China, released by Toyota Motor Corporation in November 2017. The all-new eighth-generation Camry is equipped with three powertrains: 2.5L, 2.5L HEV, and 2.0L, including the Camry, Camry Sport, and Camry Hybrid, totaling nine models across three series. 2. Highlights: Toyota adheres to the Japanese tradition of frugality, giving people the impression that 'just enough is good.' However, starting from the TNGA platform, Toyota abandoned the existing 'gradual improvement' car manufacturing model and instead directly developed absolutely leading products. The all-new eighth-generation Camry is the first model under the TNGA platform in the Chinese market. Beyond the technical excess of the new model, the TNGA platform also includes modular production to reduce costs and thoroughly implements 'humanization' comprehensively. Moreover, the new car will place greater emphasis on driving pleasure.
