How to use the Cruise Control on Honda Civic?
After i press the cruise control button and took the leg off of the gas pedal the car is slowing down.
Seems like you've just got the Civic. It's manual transmission right? Is there an Owner's manual in the glove box? Since you've not specified the year for the Civic, I can't tell you what to do or check the cruise control system. If the fuse has power and good:
It's the easiest cruise system I've ever used and in my car it works perfectly.
For those new to it or still waiting for the car:-
Press the inner most button (cruise main) to switch the system on.
Once at the desired speed press the down button part of the middle rocker button (Cruise set).
If you touch the brake or clutch at any time the Cruise will deactivate instantly. To resume at you last speed press the up part of the middle rocker switch (Cruise Res). The car will now gently accelerate up to the set speed again.
The right hand button is cancel. This obviously cancels the current cruise selection (same as pressing the brake or clutch). It does not turn the system off. To do that you need to press the Cruise main button again
If you wish to increase or lower this speed while the system is set at a speed you can press either up or down on the Rocker button. You can accelerate whilst in cruise to overtake but once done the car will slow down gradually to the set speed again, so the throttle does not increase the set speed (obvious i know)
The system will not work if you are even slightly on the clutch pedal or brake (I know people who rest their foot on the clutch while they drive thinking its not sensing it, if the Civic can sense even the slightest touch and if it does it won't active the cruise).
Helps if you press SET. Now, if that doesn't work, a vacuum line is broken or disconnected.

- What is the maximum speed my car and cruise at in terms of rpms for an indefinite period of time without risking problems? My car is a 2003 Honda Element with 4wd automatic. The car has 160 hp with 161 ft lbs of torque. It redlines at 6500 rpms. At want maximum RPM can this car sit at and still last me 300,000 to 400,000 miles? Can it cruise 4,000 rpms with no problems and still last me up to 300,000 - 400,000 miles or chances are it won't and it would overheat?
- Honda Integra Idle Air Control Valve issue? Anyone knows what's wrong with my turbocharged ITR? It's not running smooth anymore. I thought it was spark plug problem, so I replaced them but still nothing changed. Might be IAC problem? Rebuilt parts: -Eagle Rods -Garrett T3/TO4E Turbo Rebuilt date: 2009
- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
