How to Use the Cruise Control on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle cruise control usage method: 1. Press the activation button, the control indicator light on the combination instrument will illuminate in white; 2. Accelerate to the desired speed, then press the SET button to save and maintain the current speed; 3. When cruise control is activated, hold down the RES button or repeatedly press RES briefly to continuously or slightly increase the speed, or accelerate to the desired speed and then press the SET button to save. The cruise control system, also known as the speed control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system, functions by automatically maintaining the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. With this system, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, thereby saving fuel.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for over a year and have gotten quite handy with the cruise control. First, start the car and get moving, then operate it only after reaching speeds above 40km/h—safety first, right? There's a cruise control button on the steering wheel labeled ON/OFF; press it to light up and prepare for activation. Then, when you reach your desired steady speed, say 80km/h, press the SET button to lock in the current speed. To increase speed, press the plus (+) button on the steering wheel, which raises it by 1-2km/h each time; the minus (-) button decreases speed. If there's any situation on the road, either hit the brakes or directly press the CANCEL button to turn it off, reverting the system to normal driving mode. To reuse it, press the RES (resume) button, and it automatically returns to the previously set speed. This feature is super handy on highways, saving fuel and reducing fatigue. I personally use it several times a week on long drives, turning it off when traffic gets heavy, but always remember to keep hands on the wheel just in case. During regular maintenance, check if the buttons are aging to prolong their lifespan.
