Using Cruise. Control on HMs.
How well your cruise control will work
on hills depends upon y~ur speed, load,
and the steepness of. the hills. When
going up steep hills, you may have to
step
on the accelerator pedal to
maintain your
speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or
shift to zt lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake or
dutch pedal takes you out of cruise
control.
Many drivers find this to be too
much trouble and don't use cruise
control
on steep hills.
Ti Get Out of Cruk Control
There are several ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal or
push
the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transmission; OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF; OR
* When the ASR systern.is4 activated, it
will turn off the cruise control. For
information about the ASR system,
see the lndex under Accekatiotz Slip
Regulation (ASR) System.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
*the ignition, your cruise control set
speed memory is erased.

Corvette ASR System (CONT.)
The ASR system comes on when the
ignition is -turned
on and operates at all
speeds. When your ASR system is
operating, the
ASR ACTIVE indicator
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC)
will come on. It indicates the system
has detected excess wheel slip, like the
conditions found on slippery-roads.
Also, when ASR is active, the cruise
control
will be automaticaIly turned off
The SERVICE ASR warning light lets
you know
when there is a problem with
your ASR system. When this light is on,
you have no-automatic wheel spin
protection. Adjust your driving
accordingly, See the
Index under
Service ASR Light..
Turning the ASR System Off
To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions, you should
always leave your ASR. system on. But
you can turn the ASR system off if you
ever need to. ASR OFF means the
controller is passive, but still
monitoring wheel
speed informauon.
