Replying to: ha2008 (Oct 24, 2008 2:18 pm) Most Accords have a "Cruise Main" type of button. That's the one on the left that says "Cruise". You need to turn that on first. Then you get up to speed and press the "Set" button on your steering wheel. Take your foot off the accelerator and you should be good to go. It turns off when you step on the brake or turn the Cruise button off (or depress the clutch if you are lucky enough to have a manual transmission.) The other buttons on your steering wheel let you accelerate or decelerate, once the cruise control is engaged. If you press the brake to turn off the cruise but leave the Cruise button on, you can then press the Resume button on the steering wheel and the car will go back to it's former cruising speed. |

I have a Kia Rio (2002) and Honda Accord (2008). Both automatic and parked in parking lot. I live in Northern Virginia/DC Metro Area. I would say we have moderate winter. I would be out of country for a month. (late November to late December) To keep the cars okay do i need to make the arrangement so someone can start the engine periodically (once a week, once in two weeks). please help.

Replying to: jahid (Nov 17, 2009 10:25 am) If you don't mind having to enter security codes for the radio, then I would suggest disconnecting one of the battery cables. Once disconnected it should have enough charge to start the car when you return provided your batteries are in good shape to start with. If your cars are due for an oil change, I would do that before you go so the engine has clean oil when it starts after a long sit. Mrbill |
