Buick 2006 manual Resuming a Set Speed, Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control

Resuming a Set Speed

If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. But the cruise control does not need to be reset.

Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, the cruise control lever can be pushed upward toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position to return to the preset cruise speed.

The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset cruise speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed up and held toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, the vehicle speed will increase until the lever is released or the brakes are applied. Do not continue to hold the lever in the plus (resume/accelerate) position, unless a faster speed is desired.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control

There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

•Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push up on the cruise control lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, then release the lever and take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed.

•Push up and hold the cruise control lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. Then release the cruise control lever. To increase the vehicle’s speed in very small amounts, push up briefly on the cruise control lever and release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle will speed up approximately one mph (1.6 km/h).

The acceleration feature will only work after the cruise control speed has been set by pushing the cruise control lever down to the set position.
