I always laugh when I see this option. I set my cruise on around 80 or so. Cruising down I 75 - 4 lanes and not paying too much attention to my speed. Over the last mile or 2 the traffic in the right lane was slowing down gradually, no traffic in left lane. I look down and believe it my speed was 60 MPH. My cruise was working fine, I felt like an idiot. But the neat thing is to pull out in the left lane and watch cruise control start accelerating. I use it a lot when traveling.

Oh by the way, be careful when using emergency braking option it can't create problem. I almost got rear ended, car in left turn lane, me in the right lane, lane had a slight turn to the right at the intersection cause braking to engage.

I love it in my wife’s mdx but yeah going around a curve with a semi in the outside lane sometimes triggers the brakes. It’s alarming.

I’ve not often used the cruise in my truck.

Unless you live in an area that's generally slower paced or you never got on the leftmost lane - please never use anything other than the shortest distance.
Because anything other than the shortest distance will cause a huge traffic line behind you because the gap between you and the car in front of you is equivalent to a football field.

Don't be that guy.

Have to agree if you use 2-4 bars in any traffic it leaves enough space for people to pull in front of you (which they will bc they can't see around you), which will cause the truck to brake to maintain distance, etc. Pain in the butt. Leave it one bar unless there is hardly any traffic or poor weather.
