2 Answers
First, press the CRUISE button to activate the cruise control module. When the dashboard displays CRUISE, drive above 40 km/h and press the SET button to enable cruise control. Push the lever upward to increase speed, and downward to decrease speed. Holding it will rapidly increase or decrease the speed.
I've been driving for over a decade and particularly enjoy studying car features. The cruise control system in the seventh-generation Accord is quite user-friendly. The operation is straightforward: First, after getting on the road, press the "CRUISE" button on the steering wheel to activate the system—this is usually located at the top left or right. Wait until the speed stabilizes above, say, 40 km/h (too low won’t work), roughly around 25 mph, then accelerate to your desired cruising speed, such as 100 km/h, and quickly press the "SET" button to lock it in. At this point, you can release the accelerator, and the car will automatically maintain a constant speed. During cruising, press the "+" key to accelerate or the "-" key to decelerate; to cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the "CANCEL" button. The entire system relies on electronic sensors and a control unit, so it's best used on flat, low-traffic highways—it saves fuel and reduces fatigue. However, remember to regularly check the battery and electrical connections to avoid malfunction risks, especially before long trips.
