The MEM button on the steering wheel can directly recall the memory of the cruise control for convenient selection. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. HOWO: HOWO is a model produced by Sinotruk Jinan Truck Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, and is one of the main products of Sinotruk. The Chinese label on the certificate of conformity for HOWO vehicles produced by Sinotruk is 'Haoluo,' but in spoken language, it is rarely used. In daily communication, people generally refer to it as HOWO. HOWO is the English identifier for the vehicle and is primarily used in export models. 2. Cruise Control: The Cruise Control System (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed maintaining system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is to maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed.

I've driven HOWO trucks for over a decade. The MEM button on the steering wheel stands for Memory function, which means 'Memory' in English. It's primarily used to store your personalized settings, such as seat position, mirror angles, steering wheel tilt, and even certain audio modes. The operation is straightforward: first adjust the seat and other settings to your most comfortable position, then press and hold the MEM button for a few seconds until you hear a beep to confirm the save. The next time you get in the car or when another driver takes over, a simple press of the button will automatically restore your settings. This feature is particularly useful for fleet drivers, eliminating the hassle of frequent manual adjustments and reducing the risk of fatigue driving. I've also noticed that it supports multiple memory modes and works reliably with electronic systems. Occasional malfunctions might be due to circuit issues, which can usually be fixed by checking the fuse. Overall, it's a thoughtful design detail.

As an ordinary truck owner, I really like the MEM button on the HOWO steering wheel. It stands for memory function, which remembers my seat and steering wheel height. Setting it up is easy: just adjust the position and press the button, and it feels like the truck is 'remembering' my preferences. Every time I start a trip or switch shifts, there's no need to fiddle with the seat—just one press saves time and effort. Especially during long drives or hot weather, it makes starting up much smoother. Once, a friend drove my truck and set a different MEM position, but switching back with one press was seamless. If the button doesn’t work, it’s usually just a wiring contact issue that’s easy to fix. This feature makes driving much more comfortable and sharing the truck a lot easier.

MEM on the HOWO steering wheel represents the memory function. I use it to save seat positions and mirror settings. To operate, first adjust to the desired position, then press the MEM button to memorize. Later when switching drivers, one press restores the original settings. It avoids repeated adjustments when sharing vehicles, quite convenient. Recommend checking the manual to confirm details.

How to Avoid Confusing the Accelerator with the Brake?

Methods to distinguish between the accelerator and brake are as follows: 1. Manual transmission models: The middle pedal is the brake, and the far right is the accelerator. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. In manual transmission models, the clutch pedal can only be pressed with the left foot when shifting gears. During normal driving, the left foot should not rest on any pedal. Both the brake and accelerator are controlled solely by the right foot. 2. Automatic transmission models: The far left pedal is the brake, and the far right is the accelerator. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require manual gear shifting as the car shifts gears automatically, hence there is no clutch pedal, only accelerator and brake pedals, both operated by the right foot. During driving, the left foot should not be placed on the brake pedal.

How to Clean Car Air Vents?

Methods for cleaning car air vents: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dust around the cleaning area. Below are related introductions to car cleaning: 1. Vehicle roof cleaning: After prolonged use, the roof often accumulates a lot of dust. Use neutral detergent to focus on cleaning areas with concentrated dirt, and then perform a comprehensive cleaning. However, it must be noted that the filling material inside the roof is heat-insulating and sound-absorbing, with strong water absorption. The cloth used for cleaning should be relatively dry; otherwise, if the roof material gets soaked by a wet cloth, it will be difficult to dry thoroughly. 2. Seal cleaning: Seals are crucial for car noise insulation and waterproofing. Most car seals are made of rubber. For cleaning, first use a clean, damp sponge to wipe away dust from the tracks and grooves, then use a dry sponge to wipe once more to maintain the cleanliness of the seals. Car owners must promptly clean dust on the seals. If there is dust inside the seal tracks, it will affect the sealing function of the seals. Clean them every quarter or even more frequently.

What are the reasons for water under the co-driver and rear floor mats?

The reasons for water under the co-driver and rear floor mats include: 1. Poor sunroof sealing: The sunroof itself has leaks, and poor sealing allows rainwater to enter the vehicle. 2. Clogged sunroof drainage holes: Blocked sunroof drainage holes prevent water from being drained out of the vehicle. 3. Poor body sealing: When the vehicle drives through waterlogged areas, deep water can enter the vehicle. Precautions after water enters the vehicle: If water is found under the driver's side, co-driver's side, or rear seat floor mats, it is essential to promptly address the water in the floor mats. Failure to do so can lead to mold inside the vehicle and damage to the wiring harness or control units.

What Can You Get for Free When Buying a Car

Several common freebies when buying a car: 1. Parking sensors: If the vehicle lacks parking assistance features, be sure to negotiate for parking sensors, including rearview cameras. These configurations can significantly enhance the user's driving experience, especially for novice drivers, making parallel parking and garage entry much easier. 2. Dash cam: On today's crowded roads, dash cams are essential as they clearly record others' illegal activities, such as ETC tag scraping on highways or encountering scam artists on one-way streets. 3. Reflective vest: Since national regulations in 2018 mandated that reflective vests must be included with vehicles, dealers will definitely provide one. 4. Fire extinguisher and warning triangle: The triangle can be used to alert other vehicles when your car breaks down, preventing secondary accidents. The fire extinguisher is for emergency use in case of vehicle fires. 5. Window tinting: Car window films offer multiple benefits, creating privacy while effectively blocking sunlight.

Does modifying folding mirrors harm the car?

Modifying folding mirrors does not affect the car. When the mirrors are folded, they not only protect the mirror surface but also reduce the risk of being scratched while parking. Rearview mirrors can be categorized into two types based on their adjustment methods: 1. External adjustment: This method involves manually adjusting the mirror frame or surface while the car is parked to achieve the desired viewing angle. This approach is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to complete conveniently in one go. The driver needs to reach outside the window to adjust the mirrors, which is inconvenient while driving or during rainy weather. Large vehicles, trucks, and low-end buses typically use external adjustment to reduce costs. 2. Internal adjustment: This method allows drivers to adjust the rearview mirrors while driving, providing more convenient conditions for observing the rear view. Most mid-range and high-end cars use internal adjustment, which is further divided into manual adjustment (via wire cable transmission or handle adjustment) and electric adjustment.
