Resuming 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 km/y1) 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 choisen speed and stay
there.
Remember that if you hold the switch at WA
longer than half a second, the vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch
at WA.
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.
Push in the button at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. 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 kmlh) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have 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 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
bmutton for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go 1 rnph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used
in Canada).
The odometer and trip Odometer are displayed
in the
Driver Information Center on vehicles
so equipped.
Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant odometer. If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll
know that
someone has probably tried to turn it back,
so the
numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens
if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero and
a label must be put on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero:
0 On vehicles with the Driver Information Center,
press the button labeled
TRIP.
On vehicles with the LAMP MONITOR, the button
is next to the trip odometer.
Push and release in a
smooth, continuous motion until all zeros appear.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come
on when you start
your engine and
may stay
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
If the light stays on, turn
the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as
soon as possible
and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Pontiac
needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light
isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have
anti-lock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning
light
Is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and
there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake
System Warning Light” earlier in this section.
