How to use the cruise control in Accord 10?

To use the cruise control in Accord 10: Press the CRUISE button on the right side of the steering wheel, and the cruise control enters the standby setting state. Accelerate the car to the desired speed (the speed must reach above 40 km/h to enable cruise control), then press the DECELSET key. At this point, you can activate the cruise control without stepping on the accelerator. Accord 10 refers to the tenth-generation Accord, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT transmission. The car's dimensions are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.
When driving my Accord 10, I frequently use the cruise control, especially during long highway trips. The operation is quite simple: first, locate and press the CRUISE button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the system. Once the indicator light is on, accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, then press the SET button to lock the speed. Release the accelerator, and the car will maintain the speed automatically. You can adjust the speed using the + and - buttons for slight increments or decrements. To cancel, simply hit the brake or press the CANCEL button. This feature helps me save about 10% on fuel and gives my legs a much-needed break, but I only use it on straight highways with good conditions, avoiding curves or heavy traffic. After several uses, I've noticed that cruise control can become unstable during rain or strong winds, so I always stay alert and ready to take manual control at any moment.
