To use cruise control in Buick GL8: Press the SET button when the vehicle reaches the desired speed. The Buick GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seat MPV with body dimensions of 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, 1776mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3088mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, with peak torque available between 1500 to 4000 rpm. The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF), with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
Using cruise control in my Buick GL8 is especially convenient for long-distance driving. Once on the highway or open roads, ensure the speed exceeds 40 km/h and press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to activate the system. Then accelerate to the desired speed, say 80 km/h, and press SET to lock it in. To increase speed, tap the + button; to slow down, press -. In heavy traffic or at red lights, hit CANCEL or lightly tap the brake to deactivate cruise control. To resume the set speed, simply press RES. This feature helps reduce leg fatigue and saves fuel over time, but avoid using it in city traffic or congestion—stay alert for safety. Cruise control makes family trips easier, acting like a driving assistant alongside navigation.
