GMC 2008 Canyon - Manual (Page 143)

With cruise control, the vehicle can maintain a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set,
or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low.
If the brakes are applied, the cruise control will shut off.
{ CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle has the Traction Control System (TCS)
and it begins to limit wheel spin while the cruise control
is on, the cruise control will automatically disengage.
See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-5.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you can turn cruise control back on.
Setting Cruise Control
{ CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Move the cruise control lever to the on position.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the set button at the end of the lever and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
