The manufacturer's recommended break-in period for a Honda Accord, six cylinder, with automatic is 600 miles. I was advised by someone at the dealership that cruise control should not be used until the vehicle has been driven for 1500 miles. The owner's manual makes no mention of a separate break-in for the cruise control. Has anyone else ever heard this? Thanks in advance for your input. When replying via email remove the asterisk from my address. >> Stay informed about: 2007 Accord - Cruise Control

When using cruise control, you are maintaining a constant speed. I conclude that cruise should not be used during break-in. >> Stay informed about: 2007 Accord - Cruise Control

I conclude that this is a ridiculous statement. Follow your manual. Use the cruise. That's what it's there for. Joe >> Stay informed about: 2007 Accord - Cruise Control

I believe the idea is to run through the RPM range during the break in period, not to "not maintain" a specific RPM. As well, cruise control maintains speed, not RPM. RPM can vary quite a bit at the same speed, depending on the terrain. I've had the pleasure to "break in" a few motorcycles and cars over the years (and some were driven quite hard), and have never had any issues. >> Stay informed about: 2007 Accord - Cruise Control
