What does 'set' mean when it appears on the car?

When 'set' appears on the car, it refers to the speed setting switch. If the car has a tire pressure leak, this indicator will appear on the dashboard. Alternatively, by pressing and holding it for three seconds until a prompt sound is heard, the tires will be adjusted according to the driver's requirements. If this indicator lights up while driving, it is essential to check the car's tires, as it indicates that the tire pressure of all four tires is inconsistent. It is recommended to adjust the tire pressure promptly to prevent tire blowouts while driving. 'Set' is also the control button for cruise control. To set the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the desired speed and press 'set'—usually, the car speed must be greater than 30 miles per hour. When using cruise control, pressing the brake will deactivate the cruise speed control.
When you see 'SET' displayed in the car, it means the cruise control system has set the vehicle speed, which is an indicator light on the control panel. I've been driving for almost ten years and often use this feature on highways. After pressing the SET button on the steering wheel, the car automatically maintains the current speed, eliminating the need to constantly press the accelerator, making it especially useful for long-distance driving to save effort. However, safety is important—it should only be used in smooth traffic conditions and avoided in congested areas or bad weather to prevent accidents. The system also has a RESUME button to return to the previously set speed or adjust acceleration/deceleration, making operation straightforward. For maintenance, regular checks of the buttons and circuits can help prevent malfunctions.
