How to Activate Cruise Control in the 2014 Classic GL8?
2 Answers
The cruise control switch for the Buick GL8 is located on the left side of the steering wheel, near the car emblem. Press the button to activate cruise control. Abbreviated as CCS, it is also known as a cruise control driving device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. The cruise function will automatically deactivate when the brake lights are illuminated, which has led to the development of a new safety feature that activates if the brake circuit or brake bulb fails.
As a veteran driver who has driven the GL8 for many years, the cruise control is particularly useful on the highway. To activate it, first ensure the car is on a flat road and the speed is above 40 km/h—for example, if you want to set it at 80, steadily accelerate to 80 km/h. On the right side of the steering wheel, there are usually a few buttons: one with a dashboard icon labeled ON/OFF—press it to turn on the system (a light will illuminate on the dashboard); then press the adjacent SET button to lock the current speed. While using cruise control, use the + and - buttons for minor speed adjustments. To cancel at any time, either press the brake or the CANCEL button; to resume later, press the RES button. It’s recommended to use this feature only on well-maintained highways with good traffic conditions—avoid using it in congested city areas to prevent accidents. Also, regularly check the buttons during maintenance to ensure they don’t get stuck.
