To set the cruise control on the Buick GL8, press the SET button when the vehicle reaches the desired speed. The Buick GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV with body dimensions of 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1500 and 4000 rpm. The vehicle features a 9-speed automatic transmission, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
When I drive the Buick GL8 on long trips, I often use the cruise control, and I find the setup steps quite simple. There's usually a cruise icon on the left side of the steering wheel—press the activation button, then accelerate to your desired speed, such as 60 km/h or 80 km/h on the highway, and press the set button to lock the speed. The system will maintain this speed, and you can fine-tune it using the +/- buttons for adjustments. Remember not to use it in urban or congested areas—safety first. Additionally, the Buick GL8's cruise control is very stable, reducing fatigue during long drives and also helping with fuel efficiency. If you want to cancel it, just lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button—don’t let it distract you.
We have a Buick GL8 at home, and the cruise control comes in handy when taking the kids out for fun. The setup is straightforward: After starting the car, look for a button labeled with the cruise symbol on the left side of the steering wheel, press it to activate the system. Then, drive to your desired speed and press the set button to confirm. Make sure the road conditions are smooth when using it—avoid activating it on curves or during rainy, slippery conditions to prevent accidents. With the GL8's comfortable seats and this feature, long highway drives with the family are quite relaxing. You can turn it off anytime by braking or pressing the cancel button, making it both flexible and safe. Give it a try!
