Cruise Control Feature

07Nighthawkbp · 02-26-2008, 01:31 AM

Does anyone use their cruise on the freeway i used it today for the first time ?

***CivicEX08*** · 02-26-2008, 01:33 AM

I've used the cruise control, but I've never been on the free-way with it. I never knew about the speed control at the touch of a button though. I always wondered what those buttons meant. I need to try that sometime.

I use that feature to stop myself from speeding at the freeway

Yeah it has memory too. If your going 70 and mash the down button 5 times, you should be going 65 in a few moments. mash it 7 more times and you should be going 72 ect ect. I played with it for a while

07Nighthawkbp · 02-26-2008, 01:51 AM

yeah i saw that too its pretty tight and your right it can definitley help with speeding issues too

galaxygrey13 · 02-26-2008, 12:08 PM

you cant use it if you are going under 25 mph. I tried it. also when I first got it i thought cruise control meant that it drove itself so i let go of the steering wheel. j/k.

Duce2k · 02-26-2008, 12:23 PM

I use my cruise daily

Leonard1818 · 02-26-2008, 02:37 PM

you guys seriously don't know about cruise control?

Here's something to try:

1. Set cruise control at 65-70MPH
2. Hit brakes (stopping cruise control)
3. Put shifter in Neutral.
4. Hit the res. accel. button.

Sweet.

galaxygrey13 · 02-26-2008, 02:42 PM

if you step on the brake disengages it and if you press resume it goes back to the speed it was. If you want to pass all you do is step on the gas (it remains on) when you pass just release the gas and it goes back to previous speed.

07Nighthawkbp · 02-26-2008, 03:02 PM

I main point was that the speed could be controlled from the steering wheel and i thought that was cool i had it in my '99 Si but couldnt be controlled from the steering wheel ive driven lots of different cars but dont remember them having speed control from the steering wheel theres always gotta be some smart ass on here never ceases to amaze me lol
