GMC Cruise Control Guide
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more without active acceleration. Cruise control does not work at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous when you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. Do not use cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tyre traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. Cruise control will disengage if:
- The Traction Control System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 214.
- TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
- A collision alert occurs. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 265.
- The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow cruise control to be safely used, cruise control can be turned back on.
Press to turn the cruise control on or off. The cruise control indicator light 5 is lit white on the instrument cluster when the cruise control is turned on.
RES+: If there is a set speed in memory, press the thumbwheel up briefly and release it to resume cruise control at that speed or Press and hold to accelerate. If cruise control is already engaged, use it to increase the vehicle speed.
SET−: Press the thumbwheel down briefly to choose the set speed and engage cruise control. If cruise control is already engaged, use it to decrease the vehicle speed.

Setting Cruise Control
If cruise control is on but is not engaged, the thumbwheel could be pressed to SET− or RES+ and engage cruise control when not desired. Keep cruise control off when it is not being used. Press 5 to turn off the cruise control.
To choose the set speed and engage cruise control:
- Press 5.
- Accelerate to the desired cruise speed.
- Briefly press and release the thumbwheel down to SET−.
- Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
When cruise control is engaged, the cruise control indicator light is lit green on the instrument cluster. See Instrument Cluster 0 106.
Resuming a Set Speed
If cruise control is engaged and then the brakes are applied or * is pressed, cruise control is disengaged without erasing the set speed from memory. Once the vehicle reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, briefly press the thumbwheel up to RES+ to engage cruise control at the previous set speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
- Press and hold the thumbwheel up to RES + until the desired cruise speed is reached, then release it.
- To increase the vehicle speed in small increments, briefly press the thumbwheel up to RES+ and then release it. For each press, the vehicle speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph).
The speedometer reading can be displayed in either English or metric units. See Instrument Cluster 0 106. The increment value used depends on the units displayed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
- Press and hold the thumbwheel down to SET− until the desired lower cruise speed is reached, then release it.
- To decrease the vehicle speed in small increments, briefly press the thumbwheel down to SET− and then release it. For each press, the vehicle speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the previously set cruise speed. While pressing the accelerator pedal or shortly following the release to override cruise control, briefly pressing the thumbwheel down to SET– will result in cruise control being set to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control works on a hill depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hill. When driving up a steep hill, you may need to use the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed.
When driving downhill, Cruise Grade Braking assists in maintaining the cruise control set speed by using the engine and the transmission to slow down the vehicle.
Cruise Grade Braking is enabled when the vehicle is on and cruise control is engaged. Cruise Grade Braking is not enabled in Range Selection Mode. For other forms of descent control, see Hill Descent Control (HDC) 0 216, Automatic Transmission 0 204, and the section “Tow/Haul Mode” under Driver Mode Control 0 217.

- Press *.

- Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from memory if 5 is pressed or when the vehicle is turned off.
