The cruise control lever is
located on the right side of
the steering wheel.
1. Press the ON-OFF button to turn cruise control on.
An indicator light on the instrument panel cluster
will come on to show you that the cruise control is
on. SeeCruise Control Light on page 3-45.
2. Accelerate to the speed you want.
3. Move the lever toward SET/COAST and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake pedal. This, of course,
shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset
it. Once you are going about 18 mph (29 km/h) or
more, you can briefly move the cruise control lever to
RES/ACC.You will go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the lever to RES/ACC longer, the vehicle will
keep going faster until you release the lever or apply
the brake pedal. So unless you want to go faster, do not
hold the lever at RES/ACC.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
•Use the accelerator pedal to get to a higher speed.
Move the cruise control lever to SET/COAST, then
release the lever and the accelerator pedal. You
will now cruise at the higher speed.
•Move the cruise control lever to RES/ACC. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the lever. To increase your speed in
very small amounts, briefly move the lever to
RES/ACC and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by moving the cruise control
lever to SET/COAST.

the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. See
your GM dealer. If the regular brake system warning
light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes
and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See
Brake System Warning Light on page 3-36.

briefly when you turn the ignition to ON. This is normal.
