How to Use Dongfeng Honda Cruise Control?

[OSawyer]

Press the brake pedal of the Honda vehicle, push the one-touch start button, and then press the cruise control button. When the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h, press the 【-SET】 button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the cruise control function. You can fine-tune the speed by pressing "RES+" and "SET-". During cruise control, each additional press reduces the cruising speed by 2 km/h. The cruise control function can be canceled by turning off the main cruise control switch, pressing the accelerator pedal, or lightly tapping the brake.

When I first started driving, I always thought the Dongfeng Honda cruise control was particularly cool, and it's actually quite simple to operate. First, find the button labeled CRUISE on the steering wheel and press it—the green light indicates the system is activated. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h on the highway, and press the SET button to lock the speed. You can take your foot off the accelerator and rest. For fine-tuning, there are plus and minus buttons nearby—each press increases or decreases the speed by 1 km/h. To cancel, just hit the brake or press the CANCEL button, and to resume the previous speed, press the RESUME button. Remember to use it only on long, straight highways and avoid congested areas to prevent accidents. Practice a few times on open roads when you're starting out—once you get used to it, it saves a lot of effort and reduces driving fatigue. After using it for half a year, I found it really helps beginners adapt to long-distance driving, but safety always comes first—don’t get distracted.

Having driven a Dongfeng Honda for several years, the cruise control has become an essential tool for my highway journeys. Activating it is straightforward: once the speed reaches 50 km/h, press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel, wait for the green light to illuminate, then accelerate to the desired speed and press SET to confirm. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the speed, and cancel it by braking or pressing CANCEL. I recommend regularly checking the button responsiveness to prevent dust from affecting contact; only use it on highways, avoiding urban areas or curves to prevent loss of control; pairing it with music and navigation makes the experience more relaxing. Enabling it during long-distance driving saves energy and reduces fuel consumption by about 10%. Remember to reactivate the function after braking for continued effectiveness. Experience has taught me that the system relies on sensors, so maintaining proper tire pressure and battery health ensures smoother operation, making long trips much more worry-free.

As a parent, I often take my family on trips in our Dongfeng Honda, using cruise control on the highway to save energy. The operation is quite straightforward: first press the CRUISE button to activate, then drive to the desired speed and press SET to lock it in; the +/- buttons adjust the speed; cancel by braking. Safety is key—I always remind myself to keep my hands on the wheel and stay alert, avoiding use in rain, fog, or mountainous roads. I also teach my kids not to touch the buttons. Initially, try short trips to familiarize yourself with the steps. It effectively reduces fatigue on long drives, making the journey more comfortable and reassuring.
