cruise control Oldsmobile Intrigue 2002 Owner's Manuals

2-39 Cruise Control
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.
CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can't drive safely at a steady speed. So,
don't use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.

Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don't
use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage. See
ªTraction Control Systemº in the Index. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn
the cruise control back on.

Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you're not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don't want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use
cruise control.
1. Press the CRUISE
button located on the
right side of the
instrument panel to turn
it on. A light in the
button will indicate that
the system is on.2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the COAST SET
button located on your
steering wheel and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
The CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on after the cruise control has been set to the
desired speed. It will go off when you do the following:

Step lightly on the brake pedal,

press the CLEAR button located on the steering
wheel or

press the CRUISE button located on the
instrument panel.

2-41
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you either apply the brake or press the clear
button located on the steering column. This, of course
shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset
it because the system remembers the last set speed.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
press the RES ACCEL (Resume Accelerate) button
located on your steering wheel. You'll go right back up
to your chosen speed and stay there.
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 COAST SET button located on the steering
wheel, then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.

Press the RES ACCEL button located on the steering
wheel. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you
want and then release the button. To increase your
speed in very small amounts, press the RES ACCEL
button briefly and then release it. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you set the
cruise control speed by pressing the COAST SET button
located on the steering wheel.Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:

Press the COAST SET button located on the steering
wheel until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, press the
COAST SET button located on the steering wheel
briefly and then release it. 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 speed you set earlier.

2-42
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 have 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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to cancel the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal,

press CLEAR located on the steering wheel or

press the CRUISE button located on the
instrument panel.
Erasing Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.Exterior Lamps
The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
: Turn the outside part of the lever with this symbol
on it to operate the lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has three positions.
OFF:
Turning the switch to this position turns off all
lamps, except the Daytime Running Lamps, (DRL).

7-20 Fuel System Inspection
Inspect the complete fuel system for damage or leaks.
Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help
ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap is recommended at least once
a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook
-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking
brake adjustment. You may need to have your brakes
inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions
result in frequent braking.
