Turn Signal Buttons??

This is kinda of a dumb question but where the little handle is to make the turn signal there seems to be a gray button, and when the car is off and when I push it i hear a clicking sound coming from the engine and I was wondering what that is and by clicking that button what it does, and there is also like this little lever next to it which can go to the right and to the left and I also don't know what that does also, thanks!

yep most likely cruise control.
on my cavalier, you had to push the lever all the way right and hold it there for a few seconds, then let go and push the button until it kicked on.
...i think...
i never used it but like once. and i just messed around with it until i figured it out.

Re: Turn Signal Buttons??

There are two switches. The first one, is OFF ON Set/Decel - the switch will move from off to on, but the third position is spring loaded (won't stay in 3rd position), and that is to set the speed, or if you hold it there, it will keep the cruise on but slow the car down to a slower set speed.

The second switch is Resume/Accel, again spring loaded - you push it once to resume the last cruise speed set (like if you hit brakes and disabled cruise but now want to resume that speed. And you hold it to keep cruise on but make the car accellerate to a faster set speed.
