Cruise control is a cool way to put your Honda CRV on autopilot so to speak. In this setting, the vehicle can maintain speeds of 25mph or more without having to press the accelerator. However, it will not set at below 25mph. In addition, the feature disconnects when the brake is applied. Albeit this is a wonderful feature, be aware that cruise control can be dangerous on winding roads, in traffic, and on wet slippery or icy roads. With that being said, here are the uncomplicated steps to follow to set your Cruise Control.
Enable Cruise Control:
- When your vehicle speed has reached 25mph or faster, press the MAIN button located on the RIGHT side of the steering wheel.
- An ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) icon will appear in the dash screen to notify you that the system is ready for you to use.
- Once you have reached the speed you want to set, press the -SET button.
- To INCREASE the speed press the RES+button.
- To DECREASE the speed press the -SET.

*Pressing the DISTANCE button located to the RIGHT of the cancel button will RE-ENGAGE your previous cruise control settings.
