To Change The Set Speed - Honda 1990 Civic Sedan Owner's Manual

Main Menu
Cruise Control (cont'd)

To Change the Set Speed:

To a faster speed — For gradual acceleration with your foot off the
accelerator, push and hold the RESUME switch until you reach the
desired speed; release the switch and the system's memory will be
re-programmed to the new speed.
For faster acceleration, push the accelerator until you reach the
desired speed, then push and release the SET switch to re-program
the system.
To a slower speed — push and hold the SET switch and the car will
coast; when you reach the desired slower speed, release the switch
and the system will be re-programmed.
For temporary acceleration above the set speed, such as for passing,
use the accelerator pedal conventionally. When you want to return
to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator and coast
without applying the brakes.
The Cruise Control automates the function of the accelerator
pedal to maintain your car at a constant speed. This can be a
convenience on long trips, but it can also be a danger if there are
many other cars on the road or if the road is unfamiliar. Pay strict
attention to the responsibility of driving whenever using the
Cruise Control.
CAUTION:
Because the Cruise Control directly activates the accelerator
pedal, don't rest your foot under the pedal when the Cruise
Control is on; it may pull the pedal down onto your foot.
NOTE:
With Cruise Control on, your speed will still vary slightly,
particularly when going up or down hills.
Do not drive with your foot on the brake or clutch pedal (manual
transmission), as this will cause the Cruise Control to disengage.
