How to Activate Cruise Control in Accord?
2 Answers
Before activating cruise control, you should set the cruising speed using the SET button. The MAIN button is the switch for cruise control. Press this button once to activate cruise control. The plus and minus buttons are used to adjust the speed value, with up/down controlling speed increase/decrease respectively.
I've been driving for many years and find the cruise control on the Accord quite convenient. First, make sure your speed is above 40km/h, and it's safest to try it on an open road. The cruise control button on the Accord is usually located on the right side of the steering wheel, typically marked with a small icon. Press that button to enter standby mode, then when your speed is steady, push the control lever up or down to set the current speed. Once set, the car will maintain the speed automatically, and you only need to hold the steering wheel and focus on the road. Adjust speed by moving the control lever for acceleration or deceleration. Note that pressing the brake or clutch will immediately cancel cruise control, so stay attentive when driving at high speeds. Using it on long drives reduces fatigue, but beginners should avoid using it too much on curves initially—once you get used to it, you'll find it saves fuel and makes driving easier. If there are significant changes in slope, the car might slightly adjust speed, so just maintain a safe distance. During regular maintenance, check if the buttons are responsive to prevent any sticking issues.
