Headlamps - Chevrolet 2008 Cobalt Owner's Manual

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle's speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
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 the vehicle's
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle's speed
down. Applying the brake will turn off the cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and do
not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to end cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal or the clutch pedal if
the vehicle has a manual transmission. This will
only end the current cruise control session.
•
Press the cruise control
system completely off.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
