How to activate cruise control in Cadillac ATSL?
2 Answers
Cadillac ATSL's cruise control switch is located on the left-hand side keyboard of the steering wheel. Press the ACC cruise button to activate cruise control. Here is some information about cruise control: Introduction: Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer. The computer continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to maintain the set speed, eliminating the need for throttle operation, which reduces fatigue. It also minimizes unnecessary speed variations, thereby saving fuel. Cancellation method: Generally, cruise control is automatically deactivated when the driver presses the brake pedal or clutch.
Using the cruise control in the Cadillac ATSL is actually quite convenient. I often use it on highways to relax while driving this car. Before activating it, make sure your speed exceeds 25 km/h and operate it on a steady road section. There's a button on the steering wheel labeled CRUISE or with a similar icon—press it to activate the cruise system. Then accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, and press the adjacent SET button to lock the speed. After that, you can release the accelerator, and the car will automatically maintain the speed. You can fine-tune the speed with the +/- buttons or cancel it using the CANCEL button on the steering wheel or by lightly tapping the brake. This feature is incredibly helpful for long trips, like weekend highway drives to the countryside, as it reduces leg fatigue. However, be cautious in poor road conditions or rainy weather—it's safer to switch to manual control for safety.
