2 Answers
To activate the cruise control on the Buick Regal, follow these steps: 1. First, accelerate the Buick Regal to the desired speed, then press the cruise control button located on the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Next, adjust the speed by rolling the speed adjustment wheel on the left side of the steering wheel up or down; 3. Once the cruise control clock icon appears on the instrument panel, it indicates that the cruise control is active; 4. Finally, to cancel the cruise control, simply press the brake pedal lightly.
Using the cruise control in my Buick Regal has made my daily commute much easier, especially on highways. There's usually an on/off button on the steering wheel—press that first to activate the system. Once you reach your desired speed, simply press 'Set' to lock it in; I typically set it between 70-80 km/h. To adjust the speed, use the '+' or '-' buttons nearby. Pressing the brake or the cancel button will deactivate cruise control, and hitting 'Resume' will return to your previously set speed. I recommend practicing in low-traffic areas first—avoid using it in the city as it can lead to mistakes. This feature helps reduce fatigue, maintains steadier throttle control, and even saves a bit of fuel over time. If it malfunctions (e.g., unresponsive buttons), it could be due to aging sensors or wiring issues—get it checked and serviced regularly. Never delay maintenance. Safety always comes first—stay focused while driving.
