Pontiac 2002 Sunfire Automobile User Manual


 
2-42
When you apply your brakes, or the clutch pedal if you
have a manual transaxle, the cruise control shuts off.
CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your 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 needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control.
Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
enhanced traction system begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
See “Enhanced Traction System” in the Index.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don’t want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Push the SET button at the end of the lever
and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
