CHEVROLET 2010 Camaro - Manual (Page 216)

Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a
higher speed.
• Disengage the cruise control,
but do not turn it off.
• If the cruise control system is
already engaged, press the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
and hold it until the vehicle
accelerates to the desired speed,
and then release the switch.
To increase the speed in small
amounts, press the thumbwheel
up toward RES/+ 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 the thumbwheel toward
SET/
−
and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
• To slow down in very small
amounts, push the thumbwheel
toward SET/
− 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 previously set cruise control
speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle’s
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 maintain
the vehicle’s speed. When the
brakes are applied the cruise
control shuts off.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end the
cruise control:
• Step lightly on the brake pedal
or clutch; when cruise control
disengages, the indicator light
on the instrument panel cluster
goes out.
• Press 5 to turn off the cruise
control system.
• Press
\
to disengage the cruise
control.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed
memory is erased when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
