Tap-Up Function

2000 Chevrolet Malibu V6-3.1L VIN JSECTION Tap-Up Function
CAUTION: In order to keep the vehicle under control, and to prevent possible vehicle damage, it is not advisable to use the cruise control on slippery roads. It is recommended not to use the cruise control in conditions such as on winding roads or in traffic of heavy or varying volume.

In order to tap-up the vehicle speed, use the Resume/Accel switch and complete the following steps:.
1. Ensure that the cruise is engaged and operating.
2. Quickly press the Resume/Accel switch down.
3. Quickly release the switch (or tap the switch).

The system will revert to the Accel mode if you hold the switch in the Resume/Accel position. The tap-up allows you to increase the cruise speed by 0.62 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap equals a 1 mph increase). Depress the accelerator at any time in order to override the cruise system. Release the accelerator in order to return the vehicle to the previously set cruise speed.
