Chevrolet 2010 Cobalt Coupe Automobile User Manual


 
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and then the brake is applied. This disengages the
cruise control. To return to the previously set speed,
you do not need to go through the set process again.
Once the vehicle is traveling at least 40 km/h (25 mph)
or more, press the RES+ part of the button briefly.
The vehicle returns to the previously selected speed
and stays there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
1. Disengage the cruise control by applying the brake
pedal, but do not turn it off. Accelerate to a higher
speed and reset the cruise control.
2. If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press the RES+ part of the button. Hold it there
until you get up to the speed desired, and then
release the button. To increase the vehicle speed
in very small amounts, press the RES+ part of the
button briefly and then release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h (1 mph)
faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
.
Push and hold the SET part of the button until the
lower speed desired is reached, then release it.
.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET part of the button briefly. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h (1 mph)
slower.
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.
