How to Use Cruise Control on the 8th Generation Accord?
2 Answers
Press the CRUISE button located at the top right, and the green indicator light will illuminate simultaneously. At this point, the cruise control enters the ready-to-set state. Accelerate the vehicle to your desired speed. Note that cruise control can only be activated when the speed exceeds 40 kilometers per hour. During cruise control, you can deactivate it by either pressing the brake pedal or pressing the button once.
I'm a seasoned driver of the 8th-gen Accord, and the cruise control is a real game-changer—keeps my legs from getting tired on the highway. Using it is a breeze: first, get the car up to a steady speed, say around 80 km/h on the freeway, then hit the CRUISE button on the steering wheel or dash to activate the system. Next, press SET or a similar button to lock in your current speed. Need to adjust? Tweak it gradually with the RES/+ or SET/- buttons. If you’re done or need to stop, just tap the brake—it’ll shut off automatically. Avoid using it in city traffic or congested areas; things can get hectic fast. I nailed it on my first try, and now I rely on it for long trips—just stay alert to road conditions in case the system glitches and you risk rear-ending someone. Oh, and during maintenance, occasionally check if the buttons respond well; replace them if worn out. All in all, it’s a money- and effort-saving gem that makes driving feel like a vacation. Highly recommend giving it a shot.
