bought daughter a new(2001 civic back in 2001)... so she likes to put on
the cruise control all the time.... the wife says that she finds when
she drives the car it seems like it wants to continue to drive when
putting your foot on the brakes????? i tried it and found no problems
with the cruise control, but i dont think it is a good idea for her to
be using it... all city driving, bumper to bumper most of the time....
how can i disable the cruise control..... she will continue to use it if
i dont disable it and being as i had to pay for the car and the wreck
she was in and all the maint. on the car i need some info on disabling
the cruise contro.... thanks

Jim,

There's probably a single fuse described in the owner's manual. Cruise
is fantastic for (open) highway, which we have a lot of here on the
Canadian Prairies, however, my wife and I are careful not to use it in
traffic, or when road conditions are really icy.

We once had to help an elderly couple to safety after their Toyota van
rolled, because they were climbing a steep hill (60 mph) with the cruise
control on. When the cruise kicked the tranny into a lower gear, they
lost traction and steering. It was also -40 outside, so we had to
transport them to a warm place soon. They were shaken, but not stirred.
