2007 Accord - Cruise Control
 

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.

During break-in one should vary the speed of the vehicle. When using cruise
control, you are maintaining a constant speed.

I conclude that cruise should not be used during break-in.

no - there's no technical rationale for it whatsoever - trust the owners
manual. crap about needing to change the engine revs is mistaken.
follow the normal factory break-in procedure and all will be well.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? There is no valid
reason for varying the speed of the vehicle during break-in, short of
normal accel and decel.

I conclude that this is a ridiculous statement. Follow your manual. Use
the cruise. That's what it's there for.
