For the time I've driven my car, I've only used it maybe twice? I dunno... I don't use it since my car is a manual and I feel like I'm in less control. With automatics it's kew, but nah... haven't had that problem.

I love cruise, even with 5 spd. keeps me from speeding too much... But never had any problems with it.

I only use cruise control when I am going on long trips on the interstate. mine works great.

What makes you say that CC is dangerous? Very strange...

I love cruise control and it works very well with a continuously variable transmission in hilly areas.

Back to the original post, I have had that same problem of the cruise control not clicking on right away when I press SET. I have no idea what's up with that. Did you get Honda to fix it? If so, what did they say?

AlphaInfinity

Take it to the honda dealer and have them check it out. You mentioned trying to change the color of the light, and they may try to hammer you with the costs of fixing it because of that.

I know this sounds dumb, but if you have a stick, take your foot completly off the clutch. I used to have the same 'problem' until i realized that i still had a little pressure on the pedal. Maybe it was just me though.

I have the same problem.
Brought it to the Dealer. They did nothing but waste my gas, time, and mileage.
They'll give you some excuse about you're setting your Cruise Control on too low of a speed and send you packing.

I think I may have found the source of the problem on my own.
The problem I think is related to the brakes.
The cruise control is canceled whenver you apply the brakes or the clutch.
How it knows if the brake or the clutch is activated I don't know.

For my car, I think what's happening is that I push down on the brakes but once I release it, it probably doesn't pop all
the way up back to its original position. So the cruise control still thinks that I have my foot on the brakes.
If I then try to push the brake upwards a little bit then I will be a set the cruise control again.

I'm going back to the dealer and show them my theory. Who knows what they will do.

me too!

I know this may sound stupid, but it was mentioned above. Make sure your feet are completely off the brake and/or clutch. When I had my Integra I had a "problem" with the cruise control not activating, it was to point where I would be bitching at the car while frantically pushing the set button. Then after this had gone on for about 2 months I finally realized why it would not engage....my damn foot would rest on the clutch.

By the way, if you have a 5spd make sure you do not pop your car out of gear (without pushing the clutch) while the cruise is on, the cruise will redline the engine until you stop it.

I have the problem where it seems like the buttons stick together. I cleaned them by running a damp rag in between the buttons and now it seems to work ok.

I use my CC on city streets to avoid speeding. Freeways are fair game though. &gt;

neoretromax

no one mentioned that there is a minimum speed needed before turning on cc. i believe it is 25 mph. correct me if im wrong.

LudlamTheory

i was testing it a while back out of curiosity.... 25 mph if you use the resume function, 30 if you use set.... try holding the det down for a sec when you use it... not just a quick click

dma001

A buddy of mine used the cruise constantly in his 93 LX, speeding up and slowing down in regular city driving. Never had a problem with it. I use it occasionally, but only on the highway. It's great! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Mine works great every time.

It's actually kinda funny when you use the 'resume' feature in a 5spd and you are in a low gear like 3rd. I think the car must be going 30mph or so, but if you had the cruise set at 70, the car really gasses it to get moving at that speed again. I tried different gears to see if it gunned it harder in the lower gears, but I think it limits the speed increase to like 5mph/sec or so. I guess to prevent throwing you back in your seat as it accelerates. Computer controlled drag racing...cool

Can any one help me out? I need the diagram for the cruise control, the mechanic repair version not the haynes. I have a 2001 civic lx. I wish my cruise control worked, so please any help?

Nosepicker

Shoot, I wished mine worked. The light comes on when I push the button to activate it but when I try to set it I get nothing. My car's an AT.

I need cruise control for my long commutes.

stangholly

I still haven't received any help, i know there has been links to it that people could not post. if those people could email it to me i would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1000 mile one way trip this Christmas and really could use the cruise control. Unfortunately can not pay some one at this time....

rodrj145

im having the same problem myself, now it really sounds like a recall on cruise control mine wont work either it used to work perfectly not any more..
