1992 HONDA PRELUDE cruise control

Four Wheel Steering, Driving in Bad Weather

At very slow speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels. This
helps in maneuvers such as parallelparking and U-turns.
At higher speeds, the rear wheels
first steer in the same direction as the front wheels. This aids with
changing lanes. As you turn the
steering wheel more, the rear
wheels return to straight ahead and
then steer in the opposite direction
to the front wheels. This givesimproved handling when going
around curves at highway speeds. The rear wheels return to the
straight ahead position when you
turn off the engine. They also
return to straight ahead if you sit
still for more than two minutes
with the engine running. They
return to steering mode as soon as
you move the steering wheel or
start to drive away.
The 4WS system is self-checking.
If it detects a problem anywhere in
the system, it turns on the 4WS indicator on the instrument panel
(see page 35) and points the rear
wheels straight ahead. Your car
will then drive like a conventional car without 4WS.
Driving in Bad Weather

Rain, fog, and snow conditions re-
quire a different driving technique
because of reduced traction and
visibility. Keep your car well- maintained and exercise greater
caution when you need to drive in
bad weather. The cruise control
should not be used in these condi-

tions.

Charging System Indication

The charging system light should
go out after the engine starts. If it
comes on brightly with the engine
running, the alternator is no longer
charging the battery. Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C, rear
defogger, cruise control, etc. Try
not to use other electrically-
operated controls such as the
power windows. Keep the engine
running and take extra care not to
stall it. Starting the engine will discharge the battery rapidly. By eliminating as much of the

electrical load as possible, you can

drive several miles before the
battery is too discharged to keep
the engine running. Drive to a
service station or garage where you
can get technical assistance.
