Cruise Control (Lx/ Ex Sedan) - Honda 1990 Civic Sedan Owner's Manual

Main Menu
Cruise Control
The Cruise Control system allows you to set and automatically
maintain any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. As its name implies, it is meant for cruising
on straight, uncongested highways or freeways. It is not
recommended to be used in traffic, on Winding roads or in bad
weather conditions where the driver should have total control.
To Set the Cruise Control:
Push the CRUISE CONTROL master
switch on the dash; the indicator
light will come on.
Accelerate to the desired speed,
then, push and release the SET
switch on the steering wheel. The
Cruise Control light on the
instrument panel will come on.
The speed you were going when you released the SET switch is the
speed the Cruise Control will hold. You can then "fine tune" the set
speed by briefly holding and releasing the SET switch to decrease it
a few mph or pushing the RESUME switch to slightly increase it.
To Cancel the Cruise Control:
Push the CRUISE CONTROL master
switch and the indicator light will go
off (this also erases the memory of
the set speed).
If you must temporarily disengage
the system (but you wish to retain
the memory of the set speed): tap
the brake pedal, or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or move the
automatic transmission shift lever
to N (Neutral). If you are still going
above 25 mph (40km/h), you can
return to the set speed by simply pushing the RESUME switch. If
the car has decelerated below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h),you
can return to the set speed by using the accelerator conventionally
until your speed is above 25 mph (40km/h) and then pushing the
RESUME switch.
