Cruise Control - Chevrolet 2012 Malibu Owner's Manual

This also occurs when traction
control is activated. A noise might
be heard or vibration might be felt in
the brake pedal. This is normal.
Continue to steer the vehicle in the
intended direction.
If there is a problem detected with
StabiliTrak, the ESC indicator light
comes on and the system is not
operational. See Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) Indicator Light on
page 4‑26. Driving should be
adjusted accordingly.
StabiliTrak comes on automatically
whenever the vehicle is started. To
assist with directional control of the
vehicle, the system should always
be left on.
StabiliTrak can be turned off if
needed by pressing and holding
until the ECS/TCS indicator warning
light comes on the instrument panel.
For information on turning TCS off
and on, see Traction Control System
(TCS) on page 8‑35.
If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control automatically disengages.
Press the cruise control button to
reengage when road conditions
allow. See Cruise Control on
page 8‑37 for more information.
Driving and Operating

Cruise Control

The cruise control lets the vehicle
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
g
With the Traction Control System
(TCS) or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), the system may begin to
limit wheel spin while you are using
cruise control. If this happens, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 8‑35 or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on
page 8‑36.

WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use
the cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
