How to Use the Cruise Control in the Elysion?

Button Method: There is a button labeled "CRUISE" on the right side of the steering wheel. Pressing this button will display English text on the screen, indicating that the program is activated and ready for use. The rules for the Elysion are as follows: 1. Accelerate to a speed above 40, then press the "SET" button next to the CRUISE button to lock the speed, after which you can release the accelerator. 2. While the speed is locked, each press of the SET button will slightly decrease the speed by approximately 2 KM, while each press of the button above the SET button will slightly increase the speed by about 2 KM. 3. When the brake is applied, the speed lock is automatically released, but the program remains active. To completely exit the program, press the "CANCEL" button below the CRUISE button.
Using cruise control on the highway with the Elysion is so effortless. I usually accelerate to my desired speed, say 80 km/h, then press the cruise switch button on the right side of the steering wheel. After hearing a beep and seeing the green cruise light illuminate on the dashboard, I press the SET button to lock the current speed, allowing me to take my foot off the accelerator pedal. To increase speed, briefly press the RES button, and to decrease speed, press the SET button—each press adjusts the speed by 1 km/h. Applying the brakes or pressing the CANCEL button automatically disengages cruise control, and pressing RES again resumes the previously set speed. I avoid using this feature during rainy conditions or on winding roads since the system's response isn't quick enough on slippery surfaces. On steep inclines, I manually control the accelerator, as cruise control might let the speed exceed limits on downhill slopes. New drivers should practice on less crowded highway sections first, getting familiar with when the automatic throttle engages before using it regularly.
My Honda Elysion has been running for three years, and the cruise control is my most frequently used feature. The operation is quite simple: once the speed exceeds 40 km/h, press the main cruise switch on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the system, then press the SET/- button to set the current speed. On the highway, use your thumb to press the RES/+ button to increase speed, and when road conditions get complicated, stepping on the brake directly exits the cruise state. Once on a long trip, I encountered traffic congestion and pressed the CANCEL button in advance to disengage the cruise, allowing the car to decelerate smoothly, which was much safer than slamming the brakes. After setting the speed, don’t completely ignore the steering wheel—the system might misjudge distances in tunnels due to significant light changes. Also, remember to check the brake sensors during maintenance. Last year, my car’s cruise control malfunctioned due to a faulty sensor.
