Cruise Control - Chevrolet sonic 2016 Owner's Manual

206 Driving and Operating

Cruise Control

If the vehicle is equipped with cruise
control, a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more can be maintained
without keeping your foot on the
accelerator. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
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 excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If the vehicle's Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak system
begins to limit wheel spin while
using cruise control, the cruise
control will automatically disengage.
See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 204. If a collision
alert occurs when cruise control is
activated, cruise control is
disengaged. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System 0 210. When
road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, the cruise control can
be turned back on.
If the brakes are applied, cruise
control disengages.
(On/Off) : Press to turn the
cruise control system on and off.
A white indicator comes on in the
instrument cluster when cruise is
turned on.
RES/+ (Resume/Accelerate) : If
there is a set speed in memory,
move the thumbwheel up briefly to
resume to that speed or hold
upward to accelerate. If cruise
control is already active, use to
increase vehicle speed.
SET/ (Set/Coast) : Move the
thumbwheel down briefly to set the
speed and activate cruise control.
If cruise control is already active,
use to decrease speed.
(Cancel) : Press to disengage
cruise control without erasing the
set speed from memory.

being used.
