Buick Regal: Cruise Control
With cruise control the vehicle can maintain a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
Warning: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. Do not use cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If equipped with the Traction Control System (TCS), the system may begin to limit wheel spin while you are using cruise control. If this happens, the cruise control will automatically disengage.
If a collision alert occurs when cruise control is activated, cruise control is disengaged.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, cruise control can be turned back on.
Cruise control will disengage if either TCS or StabiliTrak is turned off.
If the brakes are applied, cruise control disengages.

Instrument Cluster Description and Operation
Instrument Cluster (with RPO UDC)
The instrument cluster is a multifunction module that provides the vehicle
operator with information that
is critical to vehicle operation, such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, oil
pressure, battery voltage, fuel
level, and coolant temperature, using analog gauges.
Different Size Tires and
Wheels
If wheels or tires are installed that
are a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tires, vehicle
