How to Use Cruise Control on the Buick Verano?
3 Answers
The usage method of cruise control on the Buick Verano is as follows: 1. When the vehicle speed reaches above 40 km/h, press the cruise control button. 2. Press the set button to adjust the speed. 3. Press the set button again to activate the cruise function. Precautions for using cruise control on the Buick Verano: 1. Stepping on the brake will deactivate cruise control. The speed value won't be cleared, allowing you to resume the previously set speed for continued cruising. 2. In complex road conditions or under adverse weather conditions, activating cruise control may be dangerous. Please turn off cruise control and drive manually. 3. On downhill sections, the vehicle may accelerate quickly. You should apply the brakes to control the speed to prevent loss of control and potential accidents.
Using cruise control is actually quite simple. First, I drive to the desired speed, such as around 100 km/h on the highway, then press the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the function. Next, pressing the SET button locks the current speed, allowing me to take my foot off the accelerator pedal. To increase speed, press the RES+ button a few times, each press adding about 1 km/h; to decrease speed, press the SET- button. In case of emergencies, simply step on the brake or press the CANCEL button to exit. To resume the previously set speed, just press the RES button again. However, it's worth noting that manual driving is safer in rainy, snowy weather or on winding mountain roads since cruise control only manages speed, not direction. This feature is indeed a great relief for long highway drives.
The cruise control operation on my Verano is very user-friendly. First, activate the system above 60km/h by pressing the button with the speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel. Wait until the white cruise light on the dashboard illuminates, then reach your desired speed and press the SET button to lock it in. At this point, your right foot is free. For fine speed adjustments, use your thumb to control the RES/+ button to accelerate and the SET/- button to decelerate. If a car ahead changes lanes or you need to exit the ramp, gently tap the brake to automatically disengage. To resume the previously set speed when back on the road, simply hit the RES button. Also, note that during cruise control, speed may drop by a few kilometers on long uphill slopes, which is normal. It's recommended not to use this feature in the city; manual control is more flexible and reliable in heavy traffic.
