What does the 'set' in Volkswagen Sagitar mean?

In cars, 'set' refers to the cruise speed control switch. Method for setting the 'set' system: To set 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. When using cruise speed control, if you step on the brake, the cruise speed control will stop working. Composition of the 'set' system: The 'set' system mainly consists of command switches, sensors, ECU, and actuators. The ECU has two signal inputs: one is the command speed signal set by the driver as required, and the other is the feedback signal of the actual driving speed.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Sagitar for almost three years now, and that SET button is actually the cruise control setting key. It's particularly useful on highways. When your speed stabilizes at the desired level, pressing SET allows the system to memorize the current speed, and then the car automatically controls the throttle, eliminating the need to constantly press the accelerator pedal. This reduces leg fatigue and saves fuel. It works in tandem with the RES button, which can restore the last set speed, allowing you to return to the original speed with a press after a temporary slowdown. As someone who frequently travels for work, this feature significantly reduces fatigue. Just remember not to use it in urban areas or during rain or snow, as it can be distracting. It's also advisable to clean the front radar regularly during car washes to avoid misjudgments. Overall, the Sagitar's system is quite considerate and well-suited for those who frequently take long trips.
As a car enthusiast, I know a bit about Volkswagen's in-car systems. SET stands for "Settings" and is used in the cruise control of the Sagitar. Pressing it locks the current speed, allowing the car to automatically maintain it, with additional buttons for fine-tuning acceleration and deceleration. This is a basic function of the ADAS system, which controls the throttle and brakes by monitoring the road ahead with radar. It's simple to operate and makes highway driving much easier, but older cars may have dirty sensors that can malfunction, so maintenance is important. I recommend new owners read the manual to understand how to use the RES resume button in conjunction with it. Technology evolves quickly, and some older Sagitar versions lack this button, so check the configuration sheet when buying a car.
