2002 CHEVROLET TRACKER cruise control

2-40 Cruise Control (If Equipped)
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) 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 km/h).When you apply your brakes, or push the clutch pedal
if you have a manual transmission, the cruise control
turns off.
CAUTION:

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.

Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control.
Don't use cruise control on slippery roads.

Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
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
cruise control.
1. Press the CRUISE
ON/OFF button on
the instrument panel
to turn the system on.
The indicator light in
the button will come on.2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Once you're going 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
turn the switch on the lever down, to COAST SET
and release it. Your cruise will be set.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
If you set your cruise control at a desired speed and
then apply the brake, this will turn off the cruise control
function. But you don't need to reset it.
If your speed has not dropped below 25 mph (40 km/h),
you can turn the switch on the lever to RESUME
ACCEL (Accelerate) briefly. You'll go right back to
your chosen speed and stay there. When your speed
drops below 25 mph (40 km/h), the system will not
resume to your previously chosen speed. You must
reset your speed.

2-42
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.

Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Turn the switch on the lever down to COAST SET
and release it. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.

Turn the switch on the lever up to RESUME
ACCEL. Hold the switch at RESUME ACCEL
until you get up to the speed you want, then release
the switch.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
To reduce your speed, turn the switch and hold it down
in the COAST SET position until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release the switch.
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.
Getting Out of Cruise Control
There are three ways to turn off cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transmission.

Push in the CANCEL button on the end of the cruise
control lever.

Press CRUISE ON/OFF on the instrument panel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased. It is also
lost if the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40 km/h).
You must reset your speed.

7-53 Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Rear Axle (All) and Front Axle
(Four-Wheel Drive) Service
Check the gear lubricant level and add if needed.
See ªRear Axleº and ªFour
-Wheel Driveº in the
Index. A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the
system(s), and repair the system(s) if needed. Refer to
ªScheduled Maintenance Services,º earlier in this
section, to determine when to change the lubricant.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook
-up, 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.
