How to Operate Adaptive Cruise Control

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019

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 change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
