How to Activate Cruise Control on the Regal?
2 Answers
The method to activate cruise control on the Regal is: locate the cruise control switch (on the right side of the steering wheel), press it once when exceeding 40 km/h, and the vehicle will maintain the current speed. To cancel, press the cruise control lever again, and the vehicle will resume normal driving. Cruise control, also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system, automatically maintains the set speed without requiring the driver to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed. The Regal is a mid-size sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4913mm in length, 1863mm in width, 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2829mm.
As a young driver who frequently hits the road, I find the cruise control on my Buick Regal quite user-friendly. It becomes operational once the speed reaches 40 km/h or above. Locate the button on the right side of the steering wheel, usually marked with a speedometer icon. Press the ON/OFF switch to activate the system, then hit the SET button to lock in your current speed. To adjust speed, simply press the adjacent + or - buttons. Canceling is as easy as lightly tapping the brake or pressing the CANCEL key. I often use it on highways—it really eases right-foot fatigue and makes long-distance driving much more effortless. However, be cautious: never engage it in city traffic congestion or during rainy conditions, as the system might respond with delay on slippery roads—safety first. New owners should practice on open roads first to familiarize themselves with button placements. The functionality remains similar across both new and older Regal models, with clearly tactile buttons.
