What does 'set' mean in a car?
2 Answers
The 'set' on a car refers to the speed setting switch, which is the cruise speed control indicator. More details are as follows: 1. When setting the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the desired speed and press the 'set' button. The car speed usually needs to be greater than 30 miles per hour. 2. When using cruise speed control, if you step on the brake, the cruise speed control will stop working. 3. The cruise speed control system can store the current speed and automatically maintain this speed. When speed control is not needed, simply stepping on the brake pedal will immediately stop the speed setting function, but the speed information will continue to be stored. 4. To resume speed control, pressing the 'Resume' switch will restore the originally stored speed, and the car will continue to drive at this speed.
I love using the SET button on the steering wheel during long-distance drives. Every time I set the cruise control on the highway, my right foot can take a break. I remember when I first saw this button, I thought it was for adjusting the seat, but later I learned it's the speed setting button. Pressing SET locks the current speed, and there are +- buttons nearby for fine-tuning the speed, which is especially handy when driving on the highway in the rain. However, it's important to note that this function only activates when the speed is above 40km/h, and it automatically cancels when you hit the brakes. In some cars, if the tire pressure warning light comes on, holding the SET button for 3 seconds can reset the tire pressure monitoring system. Last month, I fixed my abnormal tire pressure issue myself this way.
