Section 13 (Cruise Control System): Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Honda Civic and 1995 Honda Civic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The cruise control system will set and automatically maintain any set speed greater than 25 MPH. To set, ensure main switch is on. Press SET switch after reaching desired speed. Pressing SET switch with main switch on will cause CRUISE CONTROL light to illuminate. Pushing main switch to off, will cancel cruise control system operation and erase vehicle speed from memory.

If system is disengaged temporarily by brakelight switch, clutch switch or shift position switch, pressing RESUME switch will cause vehicle to automatically return to previous set speed. Holding RESUME switch will gradually increase vehicle speed without having to depress accelerator pedal. This sends an acceleration signal to cruise control unit. When RESUME switch is released, system is reprogrammed for new speed.

For gradual deceleration without pressing brake pedal, push SET switch and hold switch until desired speed is reached. This sends a deceleration signal to cruise control unit. When desired speed is reached, release SET switch. This reprograms system for new speed.
