Pontiac G5 Automobile User Manual


 
J (On/Off): Press this button to turn the cruise
control system on and off.
RES+ (Resume): Press this button to resume a
set speed and to accelerate the speed.
SET– (Set): Press this button to set a speed and
to decrease the speed.
To set a speed do the following:
1. Press the on/off button to turn cruise control
on. The indicator light on the button will
come on.
2. Get to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET– part of the control button and
release it. The CRUISE ENGAGED message
will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) to show the system is engaged.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel
spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. See Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
on page 226. When road conditions allow, the
cruise control can be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set the cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of
course, disengages the cruise control. To return to
the previously set speed, you do not need to go
through the set process again. Once you are going
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press
the RES+ part of the button briefly.
This will take you back up to your previously
chosen speed and stay 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 you
do this, the vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.
