pedal.
To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired speed and then you apply the
brake. This,
of course, shuts off the
cruise control. But you don’t need to
reset it. Once you’re going about
25
mph (40 ldh) or more, you can move
the cruise control switch from
ON to
R/A (which stands for Resume/
Accelerate) for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A longer
than half a second, the vehicle will keep
going faster until
you release the switch
or apply the brake.
You could be
startled and even lose control.
So unless
you want to
go faster, don’t hold the
switch at

To Increase Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher
speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the

speed.
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise
at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to go to a higher
speed:
Move the cruise switch from ON to
R/A. 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 to
R/A for
less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6
ltm/h) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your
speed while using cruise control:
Push 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,
push the button for less than half a
second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go
1 mph (1.6 lun/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 have 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.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, your cruise control set
speed memory is erased.

Overhead Console
The front overhead console has reading
lights, a center dome light, a compass
and outside temperature display, and
storage compartments-including one
for your garage door opener and one for
sunglasses.
Temperature and Compass
Display
The outside air temperature and the
compass are displayed at the front
of
the overhead console. The control
switches are located to the left
of the
display.
Turn the display on or
off by pressing
the
ON/OFF switch. Display the
temperature in either degrees
Fahrenheit (English)
or Celsius (metric)
by pressing the
US/MET switch.
Before you turn on the ignition and move
the vehicle, the temperature indicated
will be the last outside temperature
recorded with the ignition on. If
the outside temperature is
37°F (3°C)
or lower when you turn on the ignition,
ICE will appear on the display. It's a
caution to the driver that road
conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be
taken.
Compass Calibration:
The compass is self-calibrating, so it
does not need to be manually set.
However, when your Bravada is new,
the compass may function erratically.
If
it does, CAL (Calibration) will appear
on the display.
To correct the problem,
drive in a complete
360" circle three
times, and the compass will function
normally.
