How to Set Cruise Control on ATSL?
2 Answers
To set cruise control on the ATSL: Operate the buttons on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to activate the cruise control function. The cruise control switch icon on this vehicle is a speedometer, located on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. The cruise control system is ideal for use when driving on highways. Once activated, simply set the desired speed, and the driver no longer needs to continuously press the accelerator pedal. The Cadillac ATSL is a midsize sedan with body dimensions of 4730mm in length, 1824mm in width, and 1421mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2860mm. In terms of exterior design, the ATSL maintains the same overall styling as the standard wheelbase version, featuring a wider grille. The detailing of smaller grilles within the main grille adds a three-dimensional and dynamic appearance to the vehicle.
When I used to drive the Cadillac ATS-L, I frequently utilized the cruise control feature, which was incredibly convenient. The setup is straightforward: first, accelerate to your desired speed, such as 80 km/h on the highway. Once steady, simply press the SET button located on the right side of the steering wheel to activate cruise control. The system will then maintain the speed automatically, and you can fine-tune it using the adjacent + and - buttons for acceleration or deceleration. To cancel, just press the brake or the CNCL button. I particularly enjoyed using it during long drives—it not only reduces fatigue but also saves fuel, especially during business trips when it allows your right foot to relax. However, I must remind everyone not to activate it in crowded urban areas or on winding roads, as the system requires straight, stable conditions to function properly; otherwise, it might fail. Additionally, ensure the battery has sufficient charge before enabling cruise control for more reliable operation—I once experienced an embarrassing failure to set it due to low voltage. Overall, the ATS-L's cruise control system is user-friendly and easy to master, even for beginners.
