How to Use Cruise Control in Honda URV?
2 Answers
The method for using cruise control in Honda URV is as follows: 1. Activate the speed cruise system by sliding the switch to the "ON" position to turn on the speed control system. 2. Set the cruise speed. After the system is activated, when the car reaches the desired speed, press the "SET" button once to maintain that speed continuously. After setting the cruise speed, you can still accelerate using the accelerator pedal as usual. Upon releasing the pedal, the system will restore the car to the set cruise speed. 3. Decrease the cruise speed. Press the "SET" button once to reduce the speed by 1.5km/h; hold the button to continuously decrease the speed, and release it to store the current speed. If the "SET" button is released when the speed is below 40km/h, the stored value will be deleted. 4. Increase the cruise speed. Without pressing the accelerator pedal, press "RES" to increase the set cruise speed. Each press of the "RES" switch raises the speed by 1.5km/h.
Starting the Honda UR-V's cruise control is actually quite simple, and I often use it for relaxed driving on the highway. First, make sure your speed is above 40 km/h, then press the 'MAIN' button on the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, use the 'RES/+' or 'SET/-' buttons to set your desired speed—for example, setting it to 80 km/h will make the car maintain that speed automatically. If you need to adjust the following distance (like in heavy suburban traffic), press the car icon button to toggle. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the 'CANCEL' button; to resume, just press 'RES/+'. When using cruise control, I keep my hands on the wheel, ready to take over since the system, while smart, isn't flawless—it might drift slightly in rain or on curves. Remember to check for system updates regularly; Honda service centers offer free updates to prevent minor issues from affecting your trips. It’s a great feature for long drives, saving a lot of effort, perfect for road trip enthusiasts like me.
