How to Use Cruise Control in CRV?
2 Answers
Honda CRV cruise control operation method is as follows: After the system is activated, when the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press the SET button to maintain continuous driving at that speed. Here are precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to 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 depress the clutch: After the system is turned on and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, do not depress the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage.
Using the CR-V's cruise control feels as familiar to me as an old friend. Every time I hit the highway, I first start the car and reach a speed of at least 30 km/h—this is crucial. Then, I press the button on the right side of the steering wheel with the speedometer symbol to activate the system, which usually has a cruise icon. Once I accelerate to my desired speed, say 80 km/h, a gentle press of the SET button locks it in. Adjusting speed with the RES button to go faster or the SET button to slow down is smooth, with no need to stomp on the accelerator. If the car ahead slows down, a light tap on the brakes cancels the cruise—simple and convenient. Cruise control is a real lifesaver on long drives, giving my feet a break and even saving some fuel. But a word of advice: avoid using it in rainy weather or heavy traffic, and always stay alert, ready to take over steering at any moment.
