How to Set Cruise Control on the Malibu?
1 Answers
To set the cruise control on the Malibu, follow these steps: The steering wheel has three rows of buttons. The rightmost button activates cruise control, while the leftmost button deactivates it. Below is a detailed introduction to cruise control: 1. First, turn on cruise control by pressing the rightmost button. A white indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. Then, accelerate the vehicle to over 40 km/h and push the middle button downward to activate cruise control. Once activated, releasing the accelerator will maintain the set speed. You can adjust the cruising speed by pushing the button upward or downward—each upward push increases the speed by 1 km/h, while each downward push decreases it by 1 km/h. Pressing the left button or applying the brakes will cancel cruise control. 2. To resume the previous cruising speed, push the button upward. To set a new cruising speed, push it downward. Note that if your previous cruising speed was 120 km/h but your current speed has dropped to 60 km/h, pushing upward will cause the vehicle to rapidly accelerate, resulting in a brief sensation of being pushed back into the seat, accompanied by high engine RPM. 3. While cruise control is highly convenient for long highway drives, it’s important to note that highway driving can easily induce drowsiness. Cruise control reduces the need for active vehicle control, which may lead to driver distraction and compromise safety. Additionally, cruise control is affected by weather and road conditions. Its use is prohibited during rain, snow, or on complex terrain.
