How to Use Cruise Control in Cadillac?

When the speed exceeds 40 km/h, lightly press the SET_ button on the steering wheel and release the accelerator. Below are relevant details: 1. The CANCEL button is used to deactivate cruise control, while the RES button resumes cruise control (some models require pushing the central control knob upward). 2. The cruise control function doesn't activate immediately after turning on the switch. The SET button is for speed setting—press it to adjust the desired speed (Note: It only works above 30 km/h). 3. Cruise control speed adjustment buttons: "+" for acceleration and "-" for deceleration. 4. (For some models) Extended features: The autonomous driving system mainly includes Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control. Lane Keeping Assist uses cameras to identify lane markings and alerts the driver when deviating from the lane, enhancing attentiveness. Adaptive Cruise Control eliminates frequent manual adjustments by intelligently maintaining a safe following distance and regulating speed.

When driving my Cadillac XTS, I love using the cruise control, especially on highways. First, I accelerate to my desired speed, say 60 mph, then press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system, followed by the SET button to lock in the speed. After that, I can fine-tune it with the plus or minus buttons—like dropping to 55 if traffic slows. If a car ahead appears, I simply tap the brake to cancel it automatically, and pressing RES resumes my original speed. This feature helps me save fuel and reduces fatigue, but I don’t rely on it entirely; in bad weather or heavy traffic, I stay focused on the road. Cadillac’s interface is clean and intuitive, perfect for frequent business travelers like me, making long drives much more relaxed.

As a car enthusiast, I'd like to talk about Cadillac's cruise control: It uses the onboard computer and sensors to regulate the throttle, maintaining a steady speed. The operation is super straightforward—after starting the car, press the CRUISE button to activate it, and when the speed reaches 70, press SET. The +/- buttons allow you to adjust the speed in 1-2 mph increments with each press, or hold them for continuous adjustment. To cancel, simply tap the brake or press the OFF button. I find this system safe and reliable—it doesn't brake automatically to avoid collisions but maintains a constant speed on highways to save energy. After using it for a while, I've discovered some tricks, like lightly applying the brake before a downhill to preemptively reduce speed and avoid excessive system adjustments.

I believe using cruise control in a Cadillac is a convenient tool, especially from a safety perspective. First, drive to a steady speed, press the CRUISE button, and then press SET to lock it in. After that, adjusting the speed with the +/- buttons on the steering wheel is very convenient. However, remember that it does not detect obstacles or respond to sharp turns, so it's best used on highways in clear weather—avoid using it in rain or fog. To cancel, simply press the brake to regain control. The benefits include reducing fatigue on long trips, allowing better focus on the road ahead, and even saving some fuel. The principle I've learned through daily driving is: always monitor manually and avoid distractions.

Hey, I was a bit hesitant when using Cadillac's cruise control for the first time, but it's actually quite simple. Start the car and drive to your desired speed, say 50 mph in the city, then press the cruise icon on the steering wheel to activate the system, and tap SET to lock it in. Use the plus sign to speed up and the minus sign to slow down, with each tap making a slight adjustment. Need to deactivate? Just lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button to stop. This feature is great for new drivers like me to save energy, but it's best avoided on narrow streets; it's really handy on highways, so I recommend practicing more.
