How Adaptive Cruise Control Works in Volkswagen Vehicles

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, you can see how adaptive cruise control works in Volkswagen vehicles: to activate it, the activation button is located on the control panel to the left on the steering wheel. The indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, showing what the radar detects, with the highlighted dashes corresponding to one second of travel time for the car. The "set" button allows you to fix the car's speed; pressing the brake temporarily deactivates the system; to reactivate it, press the "res" button. The speed can be adjusted manually using the + and - buttons. The button with the car icon opens the assistant menu. The central button allows you to adjust the distance you want to maintain from the vehicle in front.

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.
