What does the 'set' mean in Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
In Volkswagen Lavida cars, 'set' refers to the speed setting switch, which is the cruise speed control indicator. The following are precautions for using cruise control: 1. Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions, such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain. 2. After the system is turned on and the speed is higher than 40 kilometers per hour, do not move the gear lever into neutral without stepping on the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to overspeed and result in damage. 3. If the set cruise speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.
The SET button on the Volkswagen Lavida's steering wheel is the core function key of the cruise control system. I used to rely on it to relieve fatigue during long-distance driving, and it's particularly practical. When the vehicle speed reaches above 30km/h, simply pressing the SET button will make the system memorize the current speed and automatically maintain a constant speed. For example, if you're driving at 100km/h on the highway and press SET, you can take your right foot off the accelerator pedal. To increase speed, press the RES button, and to decrease speed, briefly press the SET button to reduce it by about 1.6km/h each time. Here's a reminder for beginners: never press the clutch or shift to neutral after activating cruise control. In emergencies, stepping on the brake will automatically deactivate the cruise. This system, combined with the CANCEL button to deactivate and the RES button to resume, makes long-distance driving much easier.
