The cruise control on the Golf is operated via the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Introduction to the Golf: 1. The Golf's body dimensions are: length 4296mm, width 1788mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2636mm, fuel tank capacity 51 liters, and trunk capacity 380 liters. 2. The Golf is equipped with a 1.2T engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 85 kilowatts at 5000 rpm, a maximum torque of 200 Nm, and a front-wheel-drive system. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

To be honest, after driving a Golf for several years, I can confirm the cruise control switch is located in the multifunction button area on the left side of the steering wheel. Specifically, there's usually a small lever or a cluster of buttons behind the steering wheel on the left-hand side. To activate it, first maintain a steady speed (e.g., over 60 km/h on highways), then simply press the SET button to lock in your current speed. It's quite user-friendly, but remember not to use it in busy urban areas to avoid distraction-related accidents. Also, if the switch isn't responding, it might be due to a blown fuse or wiring issues – I'd recommend checking the fuse box in the engine compartment first. Cruise control helps save fuel and reduces driver fatigue during long journeys. I personally use it frequently on road trips and find it incredibly convenient. In short, locate the left side of your steering wheel, experiment with the function buttons (don't confuse them with the horn or wiper controls), and you'll master it in no time.

What is the recommended speed during the break-in period for a new car?

New cars generally have a break-in period divided into three stages: The initial stage is 0-500km, where the speed should be maintained at 60-70km/h and the engine RPM should not exceed 2200; The middle stage is 500-1000km, where the speed can be increased to 90-100km/h while keeping the RPM below 2500; The final stage is 1000-2000km, where the speed can be increased up to 120km/h, but the RPM should not exceed 3000. The reason new cars require a break-in period is that when they leave the factory, the machining precision of components may not be perfect or there might be assembly tolerances. A certain mileage is needed for natural wear-in, allowing the mechanical parts to adjust and improve their environmental adaptation capabilities. Break-in period precautions: Idle warm-up. After starting the engine, it's recommended to drive at low RPM for a while, allowing the engine to warm up during steady-speed movement. This ensures thorough engine preheating, and when the oil reaches operating temperature, it will flow to all engine components for proper lubrication. It also preheats the cylinders, significantly benefiting engine longevity. However, for fuel-injected vehicles, prolonged idling for warm-up should be avoided as it wastes fuel and may shorten the catalytic converter's lifespan. Avoid overloading. All components of a new car - including the suspension system, transmission system, and braking system - are new and haven't fully settled together. Full-load operation may damage the engine and other components due to excessive stress. Generally, it's advised not to exceed 70% of maximum load capacity.

Is Insurance More Expensive for Pricier Cars?

Vehicle insurance can be divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. The premium for compulsory traffic insurance is not related to the vehicle's price, while commercial insurance is based on the vehicle's price, meaning more expensive cars will have higher commercial insurance premiums. Commercial auto insurance is further divided into basic insurance and additional insurance. Basic insurance includes vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, comprehensive theft insurance, and passenger liability insurance. Additional insurance includes standalone glass breakage insurance and spontaneous combustion loss insurance, among others. The higher the vehicle's price, the higher the premiums for commercial insurance such as comprehensive theft insurance and vehicle damage insurance. Comprehensive theft insurance, according to the terms of various insurance companies, refers to compensation by the insurer within the insured amount if the insured vehicle is stolen, robbed, or seized and remains missing for a certain period (usually three months, or 60 days under PICC's terms) after being filed and verified by county-level or higher public security criminal investigation departments. The premium is affected by the vehicle's price. Vehicle damage insurance: The premium is influenced by the vehicle's price because the insured amount for vehicle damage insurance can be determined in three ways: based on the new car purchase price, the actual value at the time of insurance purchase, or through negotiation between the policyholder and the insurance company. Therefore, the more expensive the vehicle, the higher the insured amount and, consequently, the premium. However, another factor affecting the premium is the vehicle's age. The older the vehicle, the lower the insured amount for vehicle damage insurance, leading to a lower premium. Additionally, once a vehicle exceeds a certain age, vehicle damage insurance can no longer be purchased.
