The following are the reasons and solutions for cruise control function failure: 1. Speed does not meet the requirements: Cruise control activation requires the vehicle speed to meet the system's specified conditions, otherwise the cruise control system cannot start normally. Solution: Ensure the vehicle speed reaches 40 kilometers per hour. 2. Malfunction during driving: The system cannot be stopped by pressing the brake or clutch during driving. There are two main reasons: one is cruise switch damage or circuit failure (such as brake pedal sensor failure, wheel speed sensor failure, or related circuit failures); the other is the ECU's inability to receive signals from the cruise control solenoid valve. Solution: Immediate repair at a service center is required in such cases.

When I drive long distances, the cruise control occasionally fails for various reasons. The most common issue is the wheel speed sensor being covered by mud or ice, preventing the system from detecting speed changes and causing it to automatically shut off. If the brake system switch is too sensitive or worn out, even a light touch can trigger the cancellation function. There are also speed limitations—cruise control won't work below 40 km/h or above 150 km/h. Loose wiring or a blown fuse can also interrupt signal transmission. Environmental factors like rain or bumpy roads increase the risk. It's recommended to regularly check and clean the sensors and keep the control unit dry. If the system fails, switch to manual driving to avoid distractions and ensure safety. Proper maintenance can extend the system's lifespan.

How about the water-repellent coated wiper blades?

Here is the relevant information about water-repellent coated wiper blades: 1. Function: According to manufacturer's introduction, the water-repellent coated wiper blades perform quite well. When in use, these wipers can form a hydrophobic coating on the windshield surface. When rain falls on the glass, it bounces off and rolls away as water droplets. The wiper blades have also been upgraded from traditional rubber strips to silicone strips, with the entire wiper enriched with water-repellent factors. Combined with the coating on the windshield surface, they can quickly remove rainwater and restore driving visibility. 2. Disadvantages: The coating formed on the windshield surface after use not only fails to effectively assist the wipers in removing water but also obstructs the driver's view, seriously affecting driving safety. During night driving, this coating causes light scattering when illuminated by headlights, affecting the visibility of nearby vehicles and creating safety hazards. Its effectiveness diminishes rapidly over time and may even scratch the glass.

What are the most effective methods to combat drowsiness while driving?

Here are the most effective methods to combat drowsiness while driving: 1. Pull over and rest: If you feel extremely drowsy while driving, find a safe and legal place to pull over and take a short nap. On highways, you can stop at a service area to rest. A nap of about 15-20 minutes is optimal, as it is the most effective and reliable way to avoid fatigue driving. 2. Open windows for ventilation: Often, drowsiness while driving is caused by poor air circulation and lack of oxygen in the car. Opening the windows to let in fresh air can help refresh your mind. 3. Listen to energetic music: Playing upbeat music, such as rock, electronic, DJ, or rap songs, can help keep you excited and alert, reducing fatigue. 4. Chew gum: Chewing gum keeps your mouth active. Opt for sugar-free gum with a refreshing flavor, as sugar can raise blood sugar levels and induce drowsiness, while the refreshing taste can have a stimulating effect to keep you awake.

What to Do If Caught by Traffic Police Without Vehicle License in the Car?

In general, not carrying the vehicle license will result in the vehicle being impounded. However, there are exceptions. If you are driving a shared car and get stopped for inspection without any violations, even if intercepted by traffic police, there won't be any consequences. After all, renting a shared car requires a vehicle license. But if you're driving a private car, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authority will impound the vehicle. Here is additional information: 1. Time Limit: The impoundment of the vehicle has a corresponding time limit. Within the specified period, presenting the corresponding valid documents allows you to retrieve the vehicle, and you should promptly handle the violation information and pay the fines; otherwise, the penalties will only become more severe. 2. Electronic Vehicle License: However, if electronic vehicle licenses are implemented locally, being caught without a physical vehicle license but presenting an electronic one is acceptable, as both have the same legal effect.
