Buick LESABRE 1997 - Setting Cruise Control; Resuming a Set Speed

Setting Cruise Control
I
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
it.
1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3.
4.
Push in the SET button
at the end of the lever
and release it.
Take your foot
off the
accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off
the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
WA (resume/accelerate)
for about half
a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the switch at
R/A
longer than half a second, the vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch
at
WA.
