Increasing Speed
While
Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go
to
a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal
to
get
to
the higher
speed. Press the set button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up
to
the speed you want, and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate. Each
time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1
mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Move the cruise switch from on
to
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
0
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down
in
very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. Each time you do this, you’ll
go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing
Another
Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot
off
the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work
on
hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness
of
the
hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may have
to
brake or shift
to
a lower gear
to
keep your speed down. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this
to
be too much trouble and don’t use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways
to
turn
off
the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
move the cruise control switch
to
off,
or
shift the transmission
to
NEUTRAL
(N).
If your vehicle has the Stabilitrak@ feature, cruise
control will deactivate
if
road conditions cause
Stabilitrak@
to
activate.
The cruise control will turn
off
automatically
if
the
traction control system or Stabilitrak@ system activate,
if
your vehicle is equipped with either feature.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased,
