To use the automatic cruise control in Cadillac ATS-L: Press the cruise function switch button located above the steering wheel to activate the speed cruise function, then accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed and press SET, the vehicle will maintain the current speed for cruising. The Cadillac ATS-L is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4730mm in length, 1824mm in width, and 1426mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2860mm. In terms of power, the Cadillac ATS-L is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 205 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm.
When I drive my Cadillac ATSL, the automatic cruise control is particularly useful for long-distance driving. After starting the engine and reaching a speed above 40 km/h, locate the multifunction button on the right side of the steering wheel with a cruise icon and press it to activate the system. Then, use the +/- buttons to set the current speed, for example, to 80 km/h, and the system will automatically maintain the throttle without needing to press the pedal. If you encounter a car too close ahead on the highway, the following distance adjustment button is very smart—it allows the car to automatically slow down and maintain a safe distance. Personally, I prefer using this feature on open roads to reduce fatigue, and occasionally in traffic jams to avoid rear-end collisions, but I always keep my hands on the steering wheel and stay focused—safety first. Overall, once you familiarize yourself with the button positions, the operation is very simple, making every highway trip much easier.
