How to Use the Cruise Control on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle cruise control usage method: 1. Press the cancel button to deactivate cruise control, press the RES button to resume cruise; 2. The cruise control function can only be activated after setting the speed via the SET key (cruise control cannot be used when the speed is below 30km/h); 3. The plus and minus symbol buttons are used to adjust the cruise control speed, with the plus button increasing and the minus button decreasing speed. The Buick Excelle has a body size of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with two powertrain options: a 1.3T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.0T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission.
I used to drive the Buick Excelle frequently on long trips and found its cruise control very practical, with quite straightforward basic steps. First, get the car up to at least around 40 kilometers per hour on the highway, then locate and press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system—if the Excelle has an indicator, it will light up. When maintaining a steady speed, press the set button to lock in the current speed, and the car will automatically maintain it. To speed up or slow down, use the +/- buttons for slight adjustments, eliminating the need to keep pressing the accelerator. To cancel, simply tap the brake or press the cancel button. If the car ahead slows down, the system will automatically reduce speed but won’t come to a complete stop—safety first. Also, remember not to press it accidentally when parked, and avoid using it in urban areas where it could easily lead to accidents. I tried it once on a long trip—it reduced fatigue and saved fuel, with smooth operation and no major issues. Make it a habit to check if the cruise indicator is lit to avoid accidental activation on the highway. Overall, it’s easy to get the hang of; the key is familiarizing yourself with the button locations and practicing more.
