What does 'set' on the steering wheel mean?

RES has two functions: one is for acceleration after setting the cruise control, and the other is for temporarily canceling the cruise control. The following is an introduction related to cruise control: 1. Introduction: The cruise control system is a system that uses electronic control technology to maintain automatic constant-speed driving of a car. Its main function is to lock the vehicle speed according to the driver's needs, allowing the vehicle to maintain a fixed speed without stepping on the accelerator pedal. When driving on highways, the driver can effectively reduce physical fatigue, and uniform speed driving can also save fuel consumption. 2. Usage conditions: The cruise control system is not suitable for all times and places. Professionals say that in principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. Because on non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions are not conducive to traffic safety.
The SET button on the steering wheel is quite common in car cruise control systems. I often use it to set a fixed driving speed when on the highway. When I press the SET button, the system memorizes the current speed, allowing the car to automatically maintain throttle without me constantly pressing the pedal. This is especially convenient for long-distance driving, significantly reducing leg fatigue. SET usually appears alongside the RES (resume) button, which can quickly return to the previously set speed. However, before using it, make sure the road is clear, and avoid operating it in crowded or winding areas. I've noticed that after setting it, you still need to pay attention to the road conditions at all times, and brake to cancel the cruise in case of emergencies. This feature is pretty standard in modern cars, making driving much easier.
