2008 GMC Acadia: Cruise Control
***
Q: How does one set up cruise control for Acadia? How does one change speed while on cruise control?
A: As shown
***
Relevant Background: "Cruise control (sometimes known as speed control or autocruise, or tempomat in some countries) is a system that automatically controls the speed of a motor vehicle. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the throttle of the car to maintain a steady speed as set by the driver..The cruise control takes its speed signal from a rotating driveshaft, speedometer cable, wheel speed sensor from the engine's RPM, or from internal speed pulses produced electronically by the vehicle...All cruise control systems must be capable of being turned off both explicitly and automatically when the driver depresses the brake, and often also the clutch. Cruise control often includes a memory feature to resume the set speed after braking, and a coast feature to reduce the set speed without braking. When the cruise control is engaged, the throttle can still be used to accelerate the car, but once the pedal is released the car will then slow down until it reaches the previously set speed...The cruise control systems of some vehicles incorporate a "speed limiter" function, which will not allow the vehicle to accelerate beyond a pre-set maximum;" ("Cruise Control", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_control)
***
Relevant material on Cruise Control: "Obey the maximum speed limit posted on signs along the road, but always drive at a speed that will let you stop safely. This means driving below the maximum speed in bad weather, in heavy traffic or in construction zones. School zones and construction zones often have lower speed limits to protect children and those who work on or near the road.Where there are no posted speed limits, the maximum speed is 50 km/h in cities, towns and villages, and 80 km/h elsewhere.Cruise control is a driver aid that can improve fuel economy and prevent you from inadvertently exceeding the speed limit. However, there are some circumstances in which cruise control should not be used, such as adverse driving conditions (wet, icy or slippery roads), in heavy traffic or when you are feeling fatigued. Speed measuring warning devices are illegal. If you get caught driving with such a device, you will be fined and accumulate demerit points..."

Relevant Statistics - US: "Speeding endangers everyone on the road: In 2018, speeding killed 9,378 people...For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2017, speeding was a contributing factor in 26% of all traffic fatalities...Speed also affects your safety even when you are driving at the speed limit but too fast for road conditions, such as during bad weather, when a road is under repair, or in an area at night that isn’t well lit..."

Relevant Statistics - Canada: "Excessive speed is a common cause of crashes on Canadian roads. Every year, 800 Canadians die and another 3,000 are injured in collisions where speed was the major contributing factor. In Canada, speed is a contributing factor in up to 18% of crashes resulting in serious injury or death. Overall, it is estimated that 20% of collisions occur as a result of speeding..."

Relevant Material - Demerit Points in Ontario: "The number of demerit points you’ll receive for speeding will depend on how fast you were caught going. As you would expect, the faster you were ticketed for, the more demerit points you’ll receive.
Here is a list of how many demerit points are assigned for speeding :
- 6 points : Exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h or more
- 4 points : Exceeding the speed limit by 30 to 49 km/h
- 3 points : Exceeding the speed limit by 16 to 29 km/h
While demerit points do not directly impact insurance, getting a speeding ticket does impact your car insurance.." ("Demerit Points in Ontario", https://www.thinkinsure.ca/insurance-help-centre/demerit-points-in-ontario.html)
