Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So,
don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spiming, and you could lose control. Don’t
use cruise control
on slippery roads.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 kmdh) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph
(40 kmh).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts
off.

your cruise control switch
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and
go into cruise when you don’t want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep
the cruise control switch
OFF until you want
to use it.

2. Get up to the speed you want.

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 krdh) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up
to your chosen speed and
stay there.
Increasing 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 higher speed.
2. Push in the SET button, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the
higher speed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you set
the
cruise control speed by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want,
then release it.
0 To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of tfie 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.
Ending 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.
Erasing Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, or
shift
into PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), your cruise
control set speed memory is erased.
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.

Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be
performed at least twice
a year (for instance, each spring
and fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service
department or other qualified service center do these jobs.
Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Proper procedures to perform these services may be
found
in a Chevrolet service manual. See “Service and
Owner Publications”
in the Index.
Steering, Suspension and Front-Wheel-Drive
Axle Boot and Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of
wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering
lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive
axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace
seals if necessary.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body
near the exhaust system.
Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts
as well as open seams, holes, loose connections,
or other conditions which
could cause
a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust’’ in
the Index.
Radiator and Heater Hose Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace
as needed.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
and for damage or missing parts. Replace parts
as
needed. Replace any cables that have high effort or
excessive wear.
Do not lubricate accelerator and cruise
control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for
surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits
or conditions result
in frequent braking.
