What is the use of the Volkswagen set button?
2 Answers
Volkswagen's set button is a speed adjustment switch that can store the current vehicle speed and automatically maintain this speed. The functions of the button are as follows: 1. Speed setting: When the speed adjustment "SET/-" switch is pressed, the current driving speed is stored, and the vehicle will maintain this speed. 2. Cancellation function: When the brake pedal is pressed, the above function is immediately canceled. However, the set speed continues to be stored. 3. Resume function: When the resume switch "RES/+" is pressed, the original speed can be restored. 4. Speed fine-tuning decrease: ("SET/-" key) 5. Speed fine-tuning increase: ("RES/+" key) Note: When the "CRUISE" button is pressed again, the CRUISE/MAIN cruise main indicator light on the water temperature gauge turns off, and the cruise control system is deactivated.
Wow, as a young driver who just got my license, I find the 'set' button on Volkswagen cars absolutely magical. It's actually part of the cruise control system, mainly used to set the current speed. For example, when you reach your desired speed limit on the highway, say 100 km/h, just gently press the 'set' button, and the car will automatically maintain that speed. You no longer need to press the accelerator, just steer. This feature is incredibly convenient for long trips, reducing fatigue, especially on monotonous stretches of road. However, there are some nuances to remember: it's best used on dry roads with good visibility. In rainy, snowy, or complex traffic conditions, it's safer to turn it off and drive manually. Also, avoid frequent switching to prevent battery or system wear. After trying it a few times, I found it works even better with navigation—set your route first, then the speed, and driving becomes much more relaxed. In short, as a new driver, I highly recommend practicing with it to build confidence for future drives.
