Cruise Control Functional Switches

Monte Carlo uses 2 steering wheel-mounted switches: a cruise control ON/OFF switch and an integrated SET/COAST/RESUME/ACCEL switch. All other models use ON/OFF, RESUME/ACCEL and SET/COAST functional switches located on multifunction lever on steering column. Switch functions are described as follows:

1. OFF
   
   System disengages when cruise control switch is turned off.
2. ON
   
   System is ready to be set when cruise control switch is turned on.
3. RESUME/ACCEL (R/A)
   
   RESUME/ACCEL (R/A) switch will not initially set cruise speed, but when cruise has been disengaged by braking, pushing this switch will cause cruise to resume previously set speed. This is the resume function. Accelerate function occurs when RESUME/ACCEL (R/A) switch is held in position for more than one second. This causes the vehicle to accelerate until switch is released. When released, system maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-up" in one MPH increments.
4. SET (Except Monte Carlo)
   
   The SET switch, located on end of multifunction lever, engages cruise control. To set cruise speed, turn cruise control system on and use accelerator to get up to desired speed. Push and release SET switch and remove foot from accelerator. Desired speed is maintained. During engagement, if SET switch is pressed and held, vehicle decelerates (cruise disengages) until switch is released. When switch is released, cruise engages and maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-down" in one MPH increments.
5. SET/COAST (Monte Carlo)
   
   SET/COAST switch engages cruise control. To set cruise speed, turn cruise control system on and use accelerator to get up to desired speed. Push and release SET switch and remove foot from accelerator. Desired speed is maintained. During engagement, if SET/COAST switch is pressed and held, vehicle decelerates (cruise disengages) until switch is released. When switch is released, cruise engages and maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-down" in one MPH increments.
