How to Set Cruise Control on Honda CRV?

[OCali]

Honda CRV cruise control operation method is as follows: After the system is activated, when the car reaches the desired speed, press the SET button to make the car continue driving at this speed. The following are precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to the road conditions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road surfaces (such as slippery roads, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); 2. Do not press the clutch: After the system is turned on, when the speed is higher than 40 km/h, do not press the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, otherwise it may cause the engine to overspeed and cause damage.

I use the cruise control most often when driving my Honda CRV, and the operation is actually quite simple. When the vehicle reaches speeds above 40km/h, first press the cruise button on the right side of the steering wheel, at which point a white cruise indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. Then, accelerate to your desired speed using the throttle—for example, setting it to 100km/h on the highway—and pull down the SET/- lever. You'll hear a beep to confirm the setting, and the dashboard indicator will turn green. Note that it's advisable to cancel cruise control during turns or downhill sections to avoid speeding. For temporary acceleration to overtake, simply press the throttle; releasing it will automatically return to the set speed. To turn it off, press the CANCEL button or step on the brake. To reactivate, push the RES/+ lever upward.

The cruise control for the Honda CRV is located on the right side of the steering wheel and can be mastered in just three minutes. First, ensure your speed exceeds 40 km/h, then activate the main cruise switch—the button with a speedometer icon. Once you've accelerated to your desired speed, gently tap the SET lever; the dashboard indicator will change color to confirm activation. I particularly appreciate its memory function—after temporarily canceling by braking, simply press RES to resume the previous setting. Remember to reduce your set speed in rainy conditions for safer driving on wet roads. A key detail: avoid using cruise control in heavy city traffic, as frequent stops and starts may trigger emergency braking.

Based on my experience driving a CRV: While driving, press the cruise control switch, accelerate to the desired speed, then pull the SET lever downward to set it. Adjust the speed using the RES/+ and SET/- levers. To cancel, besides stepping on the brake, you can also press the CANCEL button. Two key points to note: Not steering during cruise control will trigger the lane departure warning; on steep descents, there might be a slight overspeed, so manual deceleration is recommended. This feature is ideal for long highway drives, but don't rely on it entirely.
