How to Operate the Cruise Control on a Civic?
2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control on a Civic is as follows: 1. Press the ON/OFF key to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator on the dashboard will light up; 2. Accelerate to the desired speed, then press the SET key. At this point, you can release the accelerator with your right foot, and the speed will be set at the current rate; 3. You can fine-tune the speed using the 'RES' and 'SET-' keys; 4. There are three ways to deactivate the cruise control: stepping on the brake, pressing the cancel (CANCEL) key, or pressing the ON/OFF key; 5. If the cruise control is canceled by stepping on the brake or pressing the cancel key, you can press the RES key to resume the previous cruise control speed.
I love using the cruise control when driving my Civic on the highway, and the operation is actually quite simple. First, make sure the speed reaches above 40 km/h, then press the main cruise control switch with the speedometer icon on the right side of the steering wheel. A white cruise indicator will light up on the dashboard. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, such as 100 km/h on the highway, and press the SET/- button next to it. The indicator will turn green, and cruise control will start. To adjust the speed, press the RES/+ or SET/- buttons, with each press adjusting the speed by 1-2 km/h. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button. Pressing RES will resume the last set speed. Here are a few practical reminders: never use cruise control in rain or snow—wheel slippage is dangerous; after pressing the accelerator to overtake during cruise control, releasing it will automatically return to the original speed; also avoid using it in stop-and-go city traffic—safety comes from keeping full control in your hands.
