What does the SET mean in Lavida?
2 Answers
In the Volkswagen Lavida, SET refers to the tire pressure monitoring system reset. When a yellow exclamation mark (the tire pressure warning light) appears on the Lavida's dashboard, it indicates an issue with the vehicle's tire pressure. After checking and confirming no problem or after repairing the tire, you need to clear the fault indicator on the dashboard. You can press and hold the SET button to clear the fault code, which will reset the tire pressure warning light and restore the monitoring status. Normally, you don't need to press the SET button as it is pre-set when the Lavida leaves the factory. If a tire is punctured or the tire pressure is abnormal, the dashboard will display an icon as a warning. After fixing the issue, the light may still be on. In this case, press and hold the SET button until the indicator light disappears, which means the tire pressure values have been re-recorded. The new Lavida's tire pressure monitoring system is passive and does not require any operation to function. When abnormal tire pressure is detected, the system will automatically illuminate the tire pressure warning light. However, the Lavida's dashboard does not display specific tire pressure data, so it is recommended that owners purchase a tire pressure gauge to easily monitor and adjust tire pressure during regular use.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida, and the SET button on the highway is incredibly useful. Just press it on the steering wheel to set the current speed as the cruise speed, and it maintains the speed even when you release the accelerator. It makes long-distance driving effortless, so I don’t have to worry about my foot getting numb. The Lavida’s cruise control responds very sensitively, and with the RES button, I can easily resume the previously set speed. However, I remind myself not to use it in city traffic jams—I’ve only tried it on highways, where it also helps save a bit of fuel. During maintenance, I had the technician check the control system to ensure the sensors and wiring haven’t aged.
