I
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help on
long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40
km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 don’t need to
reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kdh) or more, you can move
the cruise control switch from
ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about
half
a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember, if you hold the switch at R/A (Resume/Accelerate) longer than
half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster
until you release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So unless
you want to
go faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A (Resume/Accelerate).
To lncrease Speed While Using Cruise Control
While your cruise control switch is in the ON position, here are two ways to
go
to a higher speed.
0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push the button at
the end
of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A
(Resume/Accelerate). Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
4
Push in the button at
the end of the lever
until you reach the
lower speed you want,
then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a
second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot
off
the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want
to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying
the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control
on steep
hills.

Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at
least twice a year (for instance, each spring and fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service department or other qualified service center \
do these
jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are completed
at once.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged,
loose or missing parts, signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect power
steering lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Lubricate the steering linkage.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust
system.
Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could
cause a heat build-up in the floor pan
or could let exhaust fumes into the
vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust”
in the Index.
Accelerator Control System
Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil, except the TBI throttle shaft. Do
not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all external deposits from pulley. Do
not oil any accelerator or cruise control cables. Replace any cables that have
high effort or excessive wear.
Drive Axle Service
Check readfront axle fluid level and add as needed. Check constant velocity
joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (AI/- Wheel Drive) Inspection
Every 12 months or at oil change intervals, check front axle and transfer
case and add lubricant when necessary.
Oil the control lever pivot point and
all exposed control linkage. Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and
proper installation.
