How to Use Cruise Control in Cadillac?
2 Answers
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.
