What does 'resume' mean on a car?
2 Answers
resume is one of the function buttons in a car's cruise control system, and its role is to restore the previously set speed with one click. The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as the cruise control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Here is a related introduction: 1. Its function is: After setting the speed and switching it on as required by the driver, the system automatically maintains the speed without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. With this device, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long-distance driving on highways, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel. 2. Working principle: The system mainly reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands through precise electronic calculations to ensure the most accurate fuel supply for the vehicle at the set speed. 3. Precautions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); after the system is turned on and the speed exceeds 40 kilometers per hour, do not shift the gear lever into neutral without pressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-speed and lead to damage.
Did you see the RESUME button on the steering wheel while driving on the highway? This button is the resume function for cruise control. For example, if you set the cruise control to 100km/h and then hit the brakes or press the cancel button midway, the cruise control will pause. When the road conditions improve, pressing RESUME will automatically accelerate the car back to the previously set 100km/h. Note that you must have previously set a speed for it to work, otherwise it won't respond. This feature is especially useful for long highway drives, as you don't have to keep pressing the accelerator, but it's safer to turn it off during rainy weather or on winding roads.
