The cruise control operation on the Buick Excelle is quite straightforward. I often use it during my daily commute. First, start the car and drive normally until the speed stabilizes at your desired level, such as around 70 km/h on the highway. There's a dedicated cruise control button on the steering wheel—press it to activate the system. Then, press the SET or +/- button to set the current speed, and the system will automatically control the throttle. If you need to fine-tune the speed, simply use the +/- buttons to adjust. To deactivate, either tap the brake pedal or press the cancel button. I recommend using it only on straight highways, avoiding rainy conditions or heavy traffic to prevent over-reliance and potential risks. Additionally, cruise control can help save fuel on long trips, but always check the tires and brakes before each use to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Using the cruise control on the Expressway with the Excelle is particularly enjoyable, and I find it very easy to get the hang of. You just need to accelerate to your desired speed, say 65 mph, then press the button with the cruise icon on the right side of the steering wheel to activate it. After that, press the SET button to lock in the speed, and the system takes over throttle control. While driving, you can adjust the speed using the plus and minus buttons, and simply press the brake to cancel when needed. I often use it for long-distance driving to reduce fatigue, allowing my legs and feet to relax. Just be careful not to use it in city areas with frequent traffic lights, as manual acceleration and braking can be distracting. Overall, the cruise design of the Excelle is user-friendly and maintenance is straightforward.

From a technical perspective, the Buick Excelle's cruise control operation is intuitive. You accelerate to the desired cruising speed, such as 60 km/h, then press the activation button on the steering wheel to engage the system. Press SET to electronically lock in the current speed. During operation, use the directional buttons to adjust speed, and disengage by braking or pressing the OFF button. The system intelligently regulates throttle via sensors. For safety, it's recommended only for use on straight, level roads.
