Pontiac 2004 Bonneville - Manual (Page 131)

Setting Cruise Control
{ CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not 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. Press the SET button.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise lever to R/A
(resume/accelerate) briefly.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the lever at R/A, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster,
do not hold the lever at R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
• Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET button and then release it as
well as the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise
at the higher speed.
• Move the cruise switch to R/A. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then
release it. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pressing the SET button.
