How to Use Cruise Control in Buick Excelle?
3 Answers
Press the set button for the first time to set the cruise speed. After cruise control is activated, pressing set will decrease the set cruise speed, while stepping on the accelerator only increases speed. The vehicle speed will automatically decrease to the set cruise speed and maintain it automatically.
I just bought a Buick Excelle, and the cruise control is quite intuitive to operate. First, start the car and drive onto the highway, reaching a speed of around 40 km/h. There's a cruise switch on the steering wheel—press the ON button to activate the function. Once the speed stabilizes, press the SET button to lock the current speed. To adjust the speed, use the RESUME button to increase or the SET button to decrease. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button. To resume, simply press RESUME to return to the set speed. At first, I was a bit nervous about making mistakes, but after trying it twice, it became very smooth. This feature is a real lifesaver on long highway drives, as it eliminates the need to constantly press the accelerator. However, a reminder for beginners: avoid using it in urban areas or heavy traffic to prevent rear-end collisions. Safety comes first—it's best to practice on an open road first.
I'm particularly interested in automotive technology. The Buick Excelle's cruise control system maintains constant speed by electronically regulating engine fuel supply via a control module. The steering wheel has dedicated buttons: ON activates the system, SET establishes/maintains speed, RES increases speed or resumes, CANCEL deactivates. Minimum operating speed is typically above 30 km/h. Through testing, I found this system automatically adjusts throttle opening to maintain stability, reducing highway fuel consumption by approximately 10%. However, note that sensor failures may cause system malfunction - always check dashboard warning lights. Avoid usage during rain/snow to prevent loss of control, and routinely inspect buttons for smooth operation during maintenance.
