Cruise Control Functional Switches
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Cadillac Catera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Functional control switches are located on end of multifunction lever, which also serves as a turn signal lever. Functional control switches include an OFF switch, a RESUME/DECEL switch, and a SET/ACCEL switch.
- OFF
System disengages when switch is turned off. - RESUME/DECEL
The RESUME/DECEL switch allows cruise control system to return to last speed setting recorded since vehicle was last in DRIVE position, such as after depressing brake pedal. This switch will only work after initial speed has been set using the SET/ACCEL switch. During engagement, if RESUME/DECEL 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. - SET/ACCEL
The SET/ACCEL switch activates cruise control system when switch is moved to SET position and vehicle speed is above 25 mph. Accelerate function occurs when SET/ACCEL 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.
