How to Activate Cruise Control in a Cadillac?
2 Answers
To activate cruise control in a Cadillac, simply press the cruise control activation button. When adaptive cruise control is engaged, a green adaptive cruise control indicator light will illuminate on the instrument cluster, along with the following distance display. For conventional cruise control activation, a green conventional cruise control indicator light will appear on the instrument cluster, but the following distance will not be displayed. Taking the Cadillac XT4 as an example, this vehicle is a compact SUV under SAIC-GM-Cadillac, with dimensions of 4600 mm in length, 1881 mm in width, and 1627 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2779 mm. In terms of power, the Cadillac XT4 is equipped with a turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 237 hp, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and a maximum power output of 174 kW.
I often drive my Cadillac on long trips, and the cruise control is super handy. There's a button on the left side of the steering wheel labeled CRUISE or with a similar icon. Press it while driving to activate the system, then hit the SET button to lock in your current speed. The dashboard will show a status or light up to confirm it's on. To adjust your speed, just use the nearby + and - buttons for fine-tuning. The ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) version is even better—once set, it automatically maintains a safe distance from the car ahead, giving your feet a break. But avoid using it in heavy city traffic, as it might not react quickly enough. Different models like the XT4 or CT5 operate similarly, but it's safer to check the manual first. I’ve tested it multiple times on highways—just remember to stay alert and ready to brake if needed.
