Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control; Resuming A Set Speed - Chevrolet 2006 Epica Owner's Manual

3. Move the lever toward SET/COAST and release it.
An indicator light on the instrument panel cluster
will come on to show you that the cruise control is
on. See Cruise Control Light on page 3-43.
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 your vehicle is going about 18 mph (30 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.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
•
Move the cruise control lever to SET/COAST until
you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly move
the lever to SET/COAST. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
