Set/Cruise Button Switch

2001 Chevrolet Lumina V6-3.1L VIN JSECTION Set/Cruise Button Switch
The cruise control SET/CRUISE button switch is located in the end of the multi-function turn signal lever. The SET/CRUISE button switch has the following 3 main functions:
^ Set
^ Coast
^ Tap-Down

The cruise speed sets when the following actions occur:
^ The SET/CRUISE button switch is depressed and released.
^ The OFF-ON-R/A switch is in the ON position.
^ The vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph).

The cruise speed sets at the speed at which the vehicle is travelling when the button is released. The cruise speed will be within 2 km/h (1 mph) of the engaged speed.

The system will cruise until one of the following actions occurs:
^ The OFF-ON-R/A switch is moved to the OFF position.
^ The brake pedal is pressed.
^ The ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

The driver can decrease the cruise speed by completing the following actions:
^ Fully depress and hold the SET/CRUISE button switch. This action disengages the cruise system and allows the throttle to return to the idle position.
^ When the vehicle slows to the desired cruise speed, release the SET/CRUISE button switch. This action will set the new cruise speed.

The tap-down function permits the driver to decrease the cruise speed in increments of 2 km/h (1 mph). One tap equals a 2 km/h (1 mph)decrease. The cruise must be engaged and operating in order to use this function.

Press and quickly release or tap the SET/CRUISE button switch in order to operate the tap-down function. Holding the SET/CRUISE button inward will cause the system to go into the CRUISE mode.

Press the accelerator at any time in order to override the cruise system. The vehicle will return to the last set cruise speed after the accelerator is released.
