How does the cruise control work on a Honda?
Modern cruise control systems not only help you maintain a set speed on main roads, but also adapt that speed to slow your car when a slower vehicle pulls in front or increase it again when the road ahead is clear. To know when such a system is in operation, a warning light is displayed on the dashboard.
