2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC cruise control

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when
you are not using cruise, you might hit a
button and go into cruise when you do
not want to. You could be startled and
even lose control. Keep the cruise control
switch off until you want to use cruise
control.
1. Move the cruise control switch to on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the set button at the end of the lever
and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.The cruise symbol on
the instrument panel will
come on when the
cruise control is
engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of
course, disengages the cruise control. But you do
not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed
and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
switch or apply the brake. So unless you want
to go faster, do not hold the switch at
resume/accelerate.

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. Press the set button, then release the
set button and the accelerator pedal. You
will now cruise at the higher speed. If
the accelerator pedal is held longer than
60 seconds, cruise control will turn off.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
speed you want, and then release the it. To
increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briey to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
Press in the set button until you reach the
desired lower speed, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briey
press the set button. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/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
want 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 nd
this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
220

Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
Move the cruise control switch to off, or
Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
Hold the accelerator pedal for 60 seconds or
longer.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Headlamps
The control on the driver’s side of your instrument
panel operates the headlamps.
221

Security Light
This light ashes when
the vehicle security
system is activated.
Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever you set your
cruise control.
The light will go out when the cruise control is
turned off. SeeCruise Control on page 217
for more information.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 215.
Four-Wheel-Drive Light
The four-wheel-drive
light comes on when
you shift a manual
transfer case into
four-wheel drive and the
front axle engages.
Some delay between the shifting and the light
coming on is normal.
SeeFour-Wheel Drive on page 153for more
information.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TAS
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage
the cruise control. SeeCruise Control on page 217.
When the traction off
light is on, the TAS is
off and will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
The traction off light will come on under the
following conditions:
The Traction Assist System is turned off,
either by pressing the TAS on/off button,
located on the instrument panel, or by turning
off the automatic engagement feature of
the TAS.
The transmission is in FIRST (1); TAS will not
operate in this gear. This is normal.
The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough
road. When the vehicle leaves the rough
surface, slows down or stops, the light will go
off and TAS will turn on again. This is normal.
A Traction Assist System, Anti-Lock Brake
System or engine-related problem has been
detected and the vehicle needs service.
If the vehicle has been driven with the TAS
system on for long periods of time, or if the
vehicle has gone through many several high
speed braking maneuvers the system may be
automatically disabled. The system will
automatically re-enable after approximately
two minutes of not using the brakes.
SeeTraction Off Light on page 256.
The Traction Assist System, as delivered from the
factory, will automatically come on whenever
you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn
the TAS off if you ever need to. You should turn
the TAS off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand,
mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required.

Preset Mode:PTO speed control mode is used
for stationary applications. (PTO will remain
engaged while mobile in the preset mode, however
PTO set and resume speed controls will be
inoperative.) This mode provides a default standby
speed of 800 or 850 rpm (depending on the
engine/transmission combination) and two default
PTO control speeds which follow:
1. PTO Set Speed of 1,250 rpm, or
2. PTO Resume Speed of 1,700 rpm.
Please note that the standby speed (800/850 rpm)
is not to be used as a PTO control speed.
Vehicles not equipped with cruise control will not
have the resume speed capability.
To use PTO speed control in variable mode (while
mobile) do the following:
1. Engage the PTO.
2. Vehicle speed must be greater than 5 mph.
3. Make sure your foot is off the brake pedal
(and off the clutch for vehicles equipped
with a manual transmission).
4. Select the desired engine speed by using the
foot pedal, and select SET on the PTO switch
or the cruise control.To use PTO speed control in variable mode (while
stationary) do the following:
1. Engage the PTO.
2. Vehicle speed must be less than 5 mph.
3. Make sure your foot is off the brake pedal
(and off the clutch for vehicles equipped
with a manual transmission).
4. Select the desired engine speed by using the
foot pedal, and select SET on the PTO switch
or the cruise control.
Variable Mode:PTO speed control mode can be
used for both stationary and mobile applications.
This mode allows PTO to be controlled in a fashion
similar to how cruise control sets vehicle speed.
The operator can set to an rpm (between 800 and
2,200) with the cruise control feature or with the
SET position on the PTO switch. The operator
is then able to increase rpm in increments of 100,
or “tap up” with the resume position on the
cruise control. The operator can also decrease
rpm in increments of 100 with the SET switch on
the PTO or the cruise control.
Vehicles not equipped with cruise control will not
have the “tap up” capability.
