How To Use Cadillac Cruise Control
You might have heard about cruise control before, also referred to as cruise command, speed control, tempomat, and autocruise. Cruise control has changed the game for drivers worldwide, helping them to enjoy smoother, more comfortable rides. In this article, we give you a step-by-step guide on how to use Cadillac cruise control.
What is Cadillac Cruise Control?
Cruise control is a system you can find in many modern automobiles, in which it automatically controls your car's speed by correcting its throttle. Drivers using cruise control can keep their cars at a steady, consistent preset speed, essentially driving on autopilot without keeping their foot on the accelerator pedal. Hence, cruise control is great in situations such as when you're driving on an A-road and motorways without recurring stops.
Conventional cruise control has been upgraded time and time again by automakers like Cadillac, introducing features like adaptive cruise control which automatically adjusts a car's speed to match the speed of the car directly ahead.
Cadillac cruise control is especially satisfying to use, thanks to Cadillac's innovative hands-free driving system known as Super Cruise. Super Cruise-equipped Cadillac vehicles can take advantage of this feature to enjoy hands-free driving that keeps you centered within your lane. Besides that, Super Cruise also includes other driver assistance functions such as Lane Change on Demand, allowing Super Cruise to perform lane changes at the driver's request.
Using Cadillac Cruise Control
Most modern Cadillac models, such as the Lyriq, Escalade, and V-series vehicles come with adaptive cruise control. Depending on your specific model's adaptive cruise control system, you may be allowed a narrower or broader speed range in terms of automatic acceleration. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use cruise control for your Cadillac automobile:
- Locate your car's cruise control button, which is usually on your steering wheel.
- When the system turns on, you should be able to identify the white adaptive cruise control icon on your head-up display or cluster display. Depending on your model, it may look like an arc with a small triangle pointing downwards through it, or a car with a speedometer to its right.
- Drive at your desired speed and press the set button, which should turn the adaptive cruise control icon from white to green, indicating that the system is currently in use.
- If your Cadillac automobile carries the Super Cruise feature, simply follow the instructions below to use it:
- Turn on the adaptive cruise control system.
- Stay in the lane you want to be driving in.
- Push the super cruise button, which should turn from white to green to indicate its activation.
