On most cars that use adaptive cruise control, it is activated simply by pressing a button; however, on some Mercedes cars, it is activated by pulling a lever. On the Volkswagen Golf, the button in question is the "set" button located on the steering wheel to your left.

Pressing this button will maintain the speed the car was travelling at that moment: if you want to increase or decrease this speed, press the vertical arrows. If the cruise control is adaptive, it means it will automatically slow down if the car in front of you is travelling at a lower speed.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
