fuel, and cargo. Never exceed the GVWR for the vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or rear axle. And, if there is a heavy load, it should be spread out. See “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” earlier in this section.

{ Warning

Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This can cause systems to break and change the way the vehicle handles. This could cause loss of control and a crash. Overloading can also shorten the life of the vehicle.

If you put things inside the vehicle — like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will keep going.

{ Warning

Things inside the vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.

. Put things in the cargo

area of the vehicle. In the cargo area, put them as far forward as possible. Try to spread the weight evenly.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

. Never stack heavier

things, like suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some of them are above the tops of the seats.

. Do not leave an

unsecured child restraint in the vehicle.

. Secure loose items in the

vehicle.

. Do not leave a seat folded

down unless needed.

Driving and Operating

Starting and Operating

New Vehicle Break-In Use the following precautions to improve performance:

For the first 1000 km (621 mi): Do not make full throttle starts. Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle. Do not drive at any one constant speed. Use moderate acceleration in lower gears. Avoid vehicle speeds above 110 km/h (68 mph).

. Between the first 1000 km

(621 mi) and 5000 km (3,107 mi), heavy acceleration in lower gears may be used. Vehicle speeds above 110 km/h (68 mph) should be limited to five minutes per use.

. Avoid making hard stops for the

first 350 km (217 mi) to avoid premature wear and early replacement of brakes.

Ignition Positions

The vehicle has an electronic keyless ignition with pushbutton start. Pressing the button cycles it through three modes: ACC/ACCESSORY, ON/RUN/START, and Stopping the Engine/OFF.

The transmitter must be in the vehicle for the system to operate. If the pushbutton start is not working, the vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing interference to the Keyless Access system. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-3. To shift out of P (Park), the vehicle must be in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN and the brake pedal must be applied. Stopping the Engine/OFF (No Indicator Lights): When the vehicle is stopped, press the ENGINE START/STOP button once to turn the engine off. If the vehicle is in P (Park), the ignition will turn off, and Retained Accessory Power (RAP) will remain active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9-19.

Automatic Transmission If the vehicle is not in P (Park), the ignition will return to ACC/ ACCESSORY and display a message in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Transmission Messages on page 5-31. When the vehicle is shifted into P (Park), the ignition system will switch to OFF.

Manual Transmission If the vehicle is stationary, the ignition will turn OFF, and Retained Accessory Power (RAP) will remain active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9-19. Do not turn the engine off when the vehicle is moving. This will cause a loss of power assist in the brake and steering systems and disable the airbags.

If the vehicle must be shut off in an emergency: 1. Brake using a firm and steady

pressure. Do not pump the brakes repeatedly. This may deplete power assist, requiring increased brake pedal force.

2. Shift the vehicle to N (Neutral).

This can be done while the vehicle is moving. After shifting to N (Neutral), firmly apply the brakes and steer the vehicle to a safe location.

3. Come to a complete stop. Shift

to P (Park) with an automatic transmission, or Neutral with a manual transmission. Turn the ignition to OFF.

4. Set the parking brake. See

Electric Parking Brake on page 9-29.

{ Warning

Turning off the vehicle while moving may cause loss of power assist in the brake and steering systems and disable the airbags. While driving, only shut the vehicle off in an emergency.

If the vehicle cannot be pulled over, and must be shut off while driving, press and hold the ENGINE START/ STOP button for longer than two seconds, or press twice in five seconds. ACC/ACCESSORY (Amber Indicator Light): This mode allows you to use some electrical accessories when the engine is off. With the ignition off, pressing the button one time without the brake pedal applied will place the ignition system in ACC/ACCESSORY.

Driving and Operating

The ignition will switch from ACC/ ACCESSORY to OFF after five minutes to prevent battery rundown. ON/RUN/START (Green Indicator Light): This mode is for driving and starting. With the ignition off, and the brake pedal applied for automatic transmission vehicles, and the clutch pedal applied for manual transmission vehicles, pressing the button once will place the ignition system in ON/RUN/ START. Once engine cranking begins, release the button. Engine cranking will continue until the engine starts. See Starting the Engine on page 9-18. The ignition will then remain in ON/RUN.

Service Only Mode This power mode is available for service and diagnostics, and to verify the proper operation of the malfunction indicator lamp as may be required for emission inspection purposes. With the vehicle off, and the brake pedal not applied,

pressing and holding the button for more than five seconds will place the vehicle in Service Only Mode. The instruments and audio systems will operate as they do in ON/RUN, but the vehicle will not be able to be driven. The engine will not start in Service Only Mode. Press the button again to turn the vehicle off.

Starting the Engine Place the transmission in the proper gear.

{ Caution

If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Any resulting damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. See Add-On Electrical Equipment on page 9-56.

Automatic Transmission Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral). To restart the vehicle when it is already moving, use N (Neutral) only.

{ Caution

Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when the vehicle is stopped.

Manual Transmission The shift lever should be in Neutral and the parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal down to the floor and start the engine.

Chevrolet SS Sedan Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-7707491) - 2015 - crc - 9/11/14

Starting Procedure (Keyless Access) 1. With the Keyless Access

system, the RKE transmitter must be in the vehicle. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button with the brake pedal applied on vehicles with an automatic transmission, and the clutch pedal applied on vehicles with a manual transmission. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button. The idle speed will go down as the engine gets warm. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it. If the RKE transmitter is not in the vehicle, if there is interference, or the RKE battery is low, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message will display. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-20 and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-3.

{ Caution

Cranking the engine for long periods of time, by returning the ignition to the START position immediately after cranking has ended, can overheat and damage the cranking motor, and drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to let the cranking motor cool down.

2.

If the engine does not start after five to 10 seconds, especially in very cold weather (below −18°C or 0°F), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and holding it there as you press the ENGINE START/STOP button, for up to a maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool down. When the engine starts, let go of the button, and the accelerator. If the vehicle

starts briefly but then stops again, do the same thing. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it. Operate the engine and transmission gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all moving parts.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) The power windows will operate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY positions. Once the ignition is turned off, RAP allows the power windows to continue to operate for up to 10 minutes. If a door is opened during this time, they will be deactivated. The audio system will be deactivated only if the driver door is opened.

Shifting Into Park (Automatic Transmission) 1. Hold the brake pedal down and

set the parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake on page 9-29.

2. Hold the button on the shift lever

and push the lever toward the front of the vehicle into P (Park).

3. Turn the ignition off. Leaving the Vehicle With the Engine Running

{ Warning

It can be dangerous to leave the vehicle with the engine running. It could overheat and catch fire. It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into Park (Automatic Transmission) on page 9-20.

If you have to leave the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle must be in P (Park) and the parking brake set. Release the button and check that the shift lever cannot be moved out of P (Park). Torque Lock Torque lock is when the weight of the vehicle puts too much force on the parking pawl in the

transmission. This happens when parking on a hill and shifting the transmission into P (Park) is not done properly and then it is difficult to shift out of P (Park). To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into P (Park). To find out how, see “Shifting Into Park” listed previously. If torque lock does occur, the vehicle may need to be pushed uphill by another vehicle to relieve the parking pawl pressure, so you can shift out of P (Park).

Shifting out of Park (Automatic Transmission) This vehicle is equipped with an electronic shift lock release system. The shift lock release is designed to prevent movement of the shift lever out of P (Park), unless the ignition is in ON/RUN and the brake pedal is applied.

The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of an uncharged or low voltage (less than 9-volt) battery. If the vehicle has an uncharged battery or a battery with low voltage, try charging or jump starting the battery. See Jump Starting on page 10-71. To shift out of P (Park): 1. Apply the brake pedal. 2. Place the ignition in ON/RUN. 3. Press the shift lever button. 4. Move the shift lever to the

desired position.

If still unable to shift out of P (Park): 1. Fully release the shift lever

button.

2. Hold the brake pedal down and

press the shift lever button again.

3. Move the shift lever to the

desired position.

If you are still having a problem shifting, see your dealer. Shift Lock Manual Release If jump starting the vehicle did not work, the shift lock manual release must be used. To access the shift lock manual release: 1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Remove the trim from the center

console, in front of the shift lever.

3.

Insert a tool into the opening as far as it will go and move the shift lever out of P (Park). If P (Park) is selected again, the shift lever will be locked again. Have the cause of the problem fixed by your dealer.

4. Refit the trim to the center

console.

Driving and Operating

Parking With a manual transmission, before getting out of the vehicle, move the shift lever into R (Reverse) if parking on a downhill slope. On a level surface or an uphill slope, use 1 (First) gear. Apply the parking brake. Turn the wheels toward the curb for a downhill slope, or away from the curb for an uphill slope. Once the shift lever has been placed into gear with the clutch pedal pressed in, turn the ignition to OFF, and release the clutch.

Parking over Things That Burn

{ Warning

Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn.

Engine Exhaust { Warning

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and even death. Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:

. The vehicle idles in areas

with poor ventilation (parking garages, tunnels, deep snow that may block underbody airflow or tail pipes).

. The exhaust smells or

sounds strange or different.

. The exhaust system leaks

due to corrosion or damage. . The vehicle exhaust system

has been modified, damaged, or improperly repaired.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

. There are holes or openings

in the vehicle body from damage or aftermarket modifications that are not completely sealed.

If unusual fumes are detected or if it is suspected that exhaust is coming into the vehicle:

. Drive it only with the windows

completely down.

. Have the vehicle repaired

immediately.

Never park the vehicle with the engine running in an enclosed area such as a garage or a building that has no fresh air ventilation.

Automatic Transmission

Running the Vehicle While Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. If the vehicle is left with the engine running, follow the proper steps to be sure the vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park (Automatic Transmission) on page 9-20 and Engine Exhaust on page 9-22.

Press the select button on the front of the shift lever to move into any position. When the shift lever position is changed, the lever position is indicated on the bottom of the Driver Information Center (DIC). The engine will not start unless the shift lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).

P (Park): This position locks the rear wheels. It is the best position to use when the engine is started because the vehicle cannot move easily.

{ Warning

It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll. Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into Park (Automatic Transmission) on page 9-20.

Make sure the shift lever is fully in P (Park) before starting the engine. The vehicle has an automatic

transmission shift lock control system. Fully apply the brake pedal first and then press the shift lever button before shifting from P (Park) when the ignition is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. If the vehicle will not shift out of P (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into P (Park) while maintaining brake application. Then press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into another gear. See Shifting out of Park (Automatic Transmission) on page 9-20. R (Reverse): Use this gear to back up. At low vehicle speeds, R (Reverse) can also be used to rock the vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice, or sand without damaging the transmission. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck on page 9-11 for additional information.

{ Caution

Shifting to R (Reverse) while the vehicle is moving forward could damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Shift to R (Reverse) only after the vehicle is stopped.

N (Neutral): In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral) only.

{ Warning

Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit

Normal Shift Mode Normal shift mode is recommended for normal or freeway driving, as it provides optimum fuel economy. When the shift lever is moved to D (Drive), normal shift mode is selected.

Manual Mode

Active Select (A/S) Mode A/S mode allows gears to be selected manually. It can also provide engine braking by selecting the appropriate lower gear on a steep downhill grade.

{ Caution

If the vehicle accelerates slowly, or does not shift gears, the transmission could be damaged. Have the vehicle serviced right away.

Sport Shift Mode

Sport Shift mode can be selected where maximum responsiveness is required.

When operated in Sport Shift mode, the transmission will delay upshifts and allow earlier downshifts. In addition, the transmission can sense enthusiastic driving, at which point it may delay upshifting and downshift earlier when braking. This is designed to maximize vehicle performance. To activate sport shift mode: 1. Move the shift lever to D (Drive). 2. Push the shift lever to the right. Sport Mode On is displayed on the DIC. Do not move the shift lever to + (Plus) or − (Minus), otherwise Active Select mode will be enabled.

Driving and Operating

After changing the gear and releasing the shift lever, it returns to the center position on the right side of the selector. On the bottom of the display, M and the currently selected gear appear as long as A/S mode is selected.

To enable A/S mode: 1. Move the shift lever to D (Drive). 2. Push the lever to the right. 3. Shift to the required gear:

To shift up a gear, briefly push the lever forward toward the + (Plus) and release it. To shift down a gear, briefly pull the lever rearward toward the − (Minus) and release it.

Alternatively, the paddles can be used to shift to the required gear: To shift up a gear, briefly pull the + (Plus) paddle toward the steering wheel and release it.

To shift down a gear, briefly pull the − (Minus) paddle toward the steering wheel and release it.

The transmission will shift to a selected gear only if the engine speed is within a suitable range. If not suitable, SHIFT DENIED will be displayed in the DIC, and the transmission will not shift gears. Continuing to hold the lever in the − (Minus) position will select the requested gear as soon as the vehicle speed decreases to the allowed speed for that gear. If the engine speed becomes too low for the currently selected gear, the transmission will automatically shift down, even though A/S mode is still selected.

. While in A/S mode, 2 (Second) or 3 (Third) gear starts can be selected from a standing start. This is useful for gentle acceleration on slippery surfaces.

Chevrolet SS Sedan Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-7707491) - 2015 - crc - 9/11/14

See Transmission Messages on page 5-31.

Brakes

Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has ABS, an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the vehicle begins to drive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or clicking noise might be heard while this test is going on, and it might even be noticed that the brake pedal moves a little. This is normal.

If there is a problem with ABS, this warning light stays on. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light on page 5-16.

Chevrolet SS Sedan Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-7707491) - 2015 - crc - 9/11/14

suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even with ABS. Using ABS Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let ABS work. You may hear the ABS pump or motor operating and feel the brake pedal pulsate. This is normal. Braking in Emergencies ABS allows you to steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the very best braking.

If driving safely on a wet road and it becomes necessary to slam on the brakes and continue braking to avoid a sudden obstacle, a computer senses the wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each wheel. ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as required, faster than any driver could. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As the brakes are applied, the computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: ABS does not change the time needed to get a foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, there will not be enough time to apply the brakes if that vehicle

Driving and Operating

The system has a red parking brake status light and an amber parking brake warning light. See Electric Parking Brake Light on page 5-15
and Service Electric Parking Brake Light on page 5-15. There are also parking brake-related Driver Information Center (DIC) messages. See Brake System Messages on page 5-26. In case of insufficient electrical power, the EPB cannot be applied or released. Before leaving the vehicle, check the red parking brake status light to ensure that the parking brake is applied. EPB Apply To apply the EPB: 1. Be sure the vehicle is at a

complete stop.

2. Lift up the EPB switch

momentarily.

The red parking brake status light will flash and then stay on once the EPB is fully applied. If the red parking brake status light flashes

continuously, then the EPB is only partially applied or there is a problem with the EPB. A DIC message will display. Release the EPB and try to apply it again. If the light does not come on, or keeps flashing, have the vehicle serviced. Do not drive the vehicle if the red parking brake status light is flashing. See your dealer. See Electric Parking Brake Light on page 5-15. If the amber parking brake warning light is on, lift up on the EPB switch and hold it up. Continue to hold the switch until the red parking brake status light remains on. If the amber parking brake warning light remains on, see your dealer. If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is moving, the vehicle will decelerate as long as the switch is held up. If the switch is held up until the vehicle comes to a stop, the EPB will remain applied. If the EPB fails to apply, the rear wheels should be blocked to prevent vehicle movement.

EPB Release To release the EPB: 1. Place the ignition in the ACC/

ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position.

2. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 3. Push down momentarily on the

EPB switch.

The EPB is released when the red parking brake status light is off. If the amber parking brake warning light is on, release the EPB by pushing down on the EPB switch and holding it down. Continue to hold the switch until the red parking brake status light is off. If either light stays on after release is attempted, see your dealer.

damage to brake system parts. Make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving.

Automatic EPB Release The EPB will automatically release if the vehicle is running, placed into gear, and an attempt is made to drive away. Avoid rapid acceleration when the EPB is applied, to preserve parking brake lining life. The EPB can also be used to prevent roll back for vehicles with a manual transmission taking off on a hill. When no roll back is desired, an applied EPB will allow both feet to be used for the clutch and accelerator pedals in preparation for starting the vehicle moving in the intended direction. In this case, there is no need to push the switch to release the EPB.

Brake Assist The Brake Assist feature is designed to assist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brake system under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedal in an attempt to quickly stop or slow down the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control module increases brake pressure at each corner of the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal pulsation or pedal movement during this time is normal and the driver should continue to apply the brake pedal as the driving situation dictates. The Brake Assist feature will automatically disengage when the brake pedal is released or brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased.

Hill Start Assist (HSA) This vehicle has an HSA feature, which may be useful when the vehicle is stopped on a grade sufficient enough to activate HSA. This feature is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling, either forward or rearward, during vehicle drive off. After the driver completely stops and holds the vehicle in a complete standstill on a grade, HSA will be automatically activated. During the transition period between when the driver releases the brake pedal and starts to accelerate to drive off on a grade, HSA holds the braking pressure for a maximum of two seconds to ensure that there is no rolling. The brakes will automatically release when the accelerator pedal is applied within the two-second window.

Driving and Operating

HSA will not activate if the vehicle is in a forward gear position and facing downhill, or if the vehicle is facing uphill and the gear position is in R (Reverse). When backing down a hill, select R (Reverse) to disable HSA.

Ride Control Systems

Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control

System Operation The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) and StabiliTrak®, an electronic stability control system. These systems help limit wheel slip and assist the driver in maintaining control, especially on slippery road conditions. TCS activates if it senses that any of the drive wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, TCS applies the brakes to the spinning wheels and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin. StabiliTrak activates when the vehicle senses a difference between the intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak selectively applies braking pressure to any one of the

vehicle wheel brakes to assist the driver in keeping the vehicle on the intended path. If cruise control is being used and traction control or StabiliTrak begins to limit wheel spin, cruise control will disengage. Cruise control may be turned back on when road conditions allow. Both systems come on automatically when the vehicle is started and begins to move. The systems may be heard or felt while they are operating or while performing diagnostic checks. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with the vehicle. It is recommended to leave both systems on for normal driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck on page 9-11 and “Turning the Systems Off and On” later in this section.

Track Driver Mode Track Driver Mode and Launch Control are systems designed to allow increased performance while accelerating and/or cornering. This is accomplished by regulating and optimizing the engine, brakes, and suspension performance. These modes are for use at a closed course race track and are not intended for use on public roads. These systems will not compensate for driver inexperience or lack of familiarity with the race track.

{ Warning

Track Driver Mode and Launch Control change the way StabiliTrak and TCS perform and should not be used on public roads. These modes should only be used on closed courses by experienced drivers.

{ Caution

Attempting to shift when the drive wheels are spinning and do not have traction may cause damage to the transmission. Damage caused by misuse of the vehicle is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.

Racing will result in the premature wear of brakes, tires, and driveline components. Inspect and replace components as necessary.

Driving and Operating

the clutch pedal, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip. See Manual Transmission on page 9-27. After the vehicle is launched, the system continues in Track Driver Mode.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle can give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When traction is low, this feature allows the drive wheel with the most traction to move the vehicle. The limited-slip rear axle also gives the driver enhanced control when cornering hard or completing a maneuver, such as a lane change. For vehicles with limited slip differential, driven under severe conditions, the rear axle fluid should be changed. See Track Driver Mode on page 9-36 and Maintenance Schedule on page 11-2.

Cruise Control With cruise control, the vehicle can maintain a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph). { Warning

Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. Do not use 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 excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.

If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak® system and begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise control, the cruise control will automatically

Ending Cruise Control There are four ways to disengage cruise control: . Step lightly on the brake pedal

or clutch for a manual transmission.

. Press *. . Shift the transmission to

N (Neutral). To turn off the cruise control, press 1.

Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed is erased from memory if 1 is pressed or if the vehicle is turned off.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle slows down to the previously set cruise control speed. While pressing the accelerator pedal or shortly following the release to override cruise control, briefly moving the thumbwheel toward SET/– will result in cruise control set to the current vehicle speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. If the brake pedal is applied, cruise control will disengage.
