It is the cruise control deactivation switch. The introduction of cruise control function buttons is as follows: 1. ON/OFF button – Cruise control switch: (1) When pressing the ON/OFF button, the CRUISE/MAIN indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge illuminates. The cruise control system activates, ready to receive speed setting operations. (2) Pressing the ON/OFF button again turns off the CRUISE/MAIN indicator light. The cruise control system deactivates. 2. SET/COAST button – Speed setting/deceleration control switch (operational above 30 km/h): (1) While driving, pressing the SET/COAST button sets the current speed, and the CRUISE indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge illuminates. Release the accelerator to maintain the set speed. (2) During cruise control, pressing the SET/COAST button again decreases speed by 1.6 km/h per press. (3) Holding the SET/COAST button during cruise control gradually reduces speed. 3. RES/ACCEL button – Acceleration setting/acceleration control switch (operational above 30 km/h): (1) During cruise control, pressing the RES/ACCEL button increases speed by 1.6 km/h per press. (2) Holding the RES/ACCEL button during cruise control continuously increases speed. (3) During cruise control, pressing the CANCEL button temporarily deactivates cruise control. Pressing the RES/ACCEL button again causes rapid acceleration to the previously set cruise speed. 4. CANCEL button – Cruise control deactivation switch: Pressing the CANCEL button during cruise control temporarily deactivates the system, turning off the CRUISE indicator light above the coolant temperature gauge.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the cancel button in cars is most commonly used in cruise control systems. When you activate cruise control, the car automatically maintains speed on the highway. However, if you need to brake suddenly or change lanes, pressing this button immediately exits cruise mode, returning the car to manual driving control. This operation is smoother than directly hitting the brakes, reducing the risk of sudden deceleration. Some car models' navigation systems also feature a cancel button—for instance, if you take a wrong turn or no longer want to follow the prompts, pressing it cancels the current voice guidance quickly and conveniently. Another common scenario is in automatic climate control, where pressing cancel can pause automatic adjustments, such as when you want to manually adjust the fan speed after setting a temperature. In short, it's not a power-off button but rather a pause key for specific functions; accidentally pressing it isn't a big deal, at most requiring a reset.

As a tech-savvy enthusiast who loves driving new cars, I frequently test the cancel button functions in various vehicles. It's incredibly useful in intelligent cruise control: for instance, when encountering traffic congestion, the system automatically decelerates to follow the car ahead, but if the leading vehicle brakes suddenly or makes an overly sharp turn, pressing cancel immediately allows me to disengage, avoiding rear-end collision risks. It's also commonly found in navigation systems; say during weekend road trips if I take a wrong turn, canceling the prompt makes the system recalculate the route, sparing me from nagging distractions. Typically a small button with clear labeling, it offers crisp tactile feedback when pressed – but remember it differs from the resume button, which reinstates previous settings whereas cancel completely pauses the function. In daily driving, I consistently use it for safe transitions on elevated highways. If the button becomes unresponsive, it might indicate a fuse or wiring issue requiring service checks.

What is the safe following distance for cars?

When driving on highways, i.e., at speeds above 100km/h, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters. For fast driving, i.e., at speeds above 60km/h, the safe following distance should be numerically equal to the speed; for example, at 80km/h, the safe distance is 80 meters. For medium-speed driving, i.e., at around 50km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 50 meters. For low-speed driving, i.e., at speeds below 40km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 30 meters. For very slow driving, i.e., at speeds below 20km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 10 meters. Following distance considerations: The faster the speed, the greater the distance between vehicles should be. Generally, the distance between vehicles should be approximately equal to the speed in kilometers per hour. For example, at 60 km/h, the longitudinal distance should not be less than 60 meters. Highways have distance measurement signs to help drivers estimate the distance to the vehicle in front, but this rule may not be suitable for crowded urban roads. For instance, driving at 30 km/h on a crowded road while maintaining a 30-meter distance might allow other vehicles to cut in. In such cases, if the road ahead is clear and the traffic conditions are visible, you can reduce the distance appropriately to prevent other vehicles from cutting in.

Can a car charge a phone without starting the engine?

It is possible to charge a phone without starting the car, but it will drain the car battery. If there are other power supply devices available, it is recommended to start the engine. Otherwise, prolonged low battery levels can damage the battery, and if the battery is too low, the car may not start. The USB ports in a car serve two main functions: 1. Connecting via a data cable to access music, videos, or other audio entertainment features from the phone. 2. Charging the phone. With a healthy car battery, a 35Ah battery can provide power for about 3 hours while charging, reading, or listening to music. A 45Ah battery lasts slightly longer, around 4 hours. Additionally, car batteries typically last 2 to 3 years, so the age of the battery also affects the duration of continuous power supply. Precautions when using: Car chargers use the cigarette lighter socket as a power source to charge the phone directly. Since the voltage provided by the car is relatively low, the car charger only needs an overload protection circuit. A fuse is installed at the front end of the car charger socket. If the current exceeds the overload protection circuit's capacity, the fuse will blow immediately to provide protection. Note that charging should only be done when the car engine is running.

How long after getting a driver's license can you drive alone?

You can start driving as soon as you get your driver's license. Here are some important points to note for new drivers: 1. No solo highway driving during the probationary period: New drivers in the probationary period are not allowed to drive alone on highways. If highway driving is necessary, there must be a driver with more than three years of experience accompanying you in the passenger seat. For your own safety, it's best to avoid driving on highways during this period. 2. Displaying the "Novice" or "Probationary" sign during the license probationary period: It's common to see vehicles with "Novice" or "Probationary Driver" signs on their rear bumpers or rear windshields. According to regulations, new drivers in the probationary period must display these signs on their vehicles. 3. Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period will result in license cancellation: During the probationary period, it's crucial to avoid traffic violations. If you accumulate 12 or more points, your license will be revoked, and you'll have to retake the driving test and reapply for a new driver's license.
