Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced) - Chevrolet Blazer Owner's Manual

Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and then the brakes are applied or
pressed, the cruise control is disengaged
without erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES+ briefly. The
vehicle returns to the previous set speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already
activated:
Move the thumbwheel up toward RES+
until the desired speed is reached, then
release it.
To increase vehicle speed in small
increments, move the thumbwheel up
toward RES+ briefly. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1 km/h (1 mph) faster.
The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster (Base and Midlevel) 0 86
or
Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 89. The
increment value used depends on the units
displayed.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed. When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal or
shortly following the release to override
cruise, briefly moving the thumbwheel down
toward SET will result in cruise set to the
current vehicle speed.
Driving and Operating
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on
hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load,
and the steepness of the hills. When going
up steep hills, you might have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you might
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press .
Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
Press .
Erasing Speed Memory
