Accord Touring v6 2016
Hi all, I just bought an accord touring 2016 v6 two months ago.
If while increasing speed I take my foot out of the gas, seems to me that the car decrease speed as like pressiing ligthly the brakes. Is this behaviour ok? LKAS off cruise off thanks |
Welcome to the forum, Josuegd
Yes, the condition you've described is normal for both the V6 and 4cyl 9th generation. We traded a '15 Sport for a '16 EX-L and both cars had that same 'brake' feeling when decelerating.. especially at lower speeds. It is a form of engine brake delivered via on-board computer designed to improve gas mileage |
Thanks for the answer
Now I feel conftable with that behaviour, but do not understand how decresing speed will save gas, specially on slopes. I could understand if that behaviour would be a safety thing.
Besides that and a very active airconditioning fan I'm more than happy with my car. It has been my 5th honda and my second Accord. |
The behavior is more due to the drive-by-wire throttle control system, and not what was previously posted above.

That makes sense to me. Kind of weird to me because my Accord EXL-V6 1998. feels like going smoth by his weight whenever I leave the gas pedal.
I'm getting 12 mpg on city. Is there a way to override? thanks |

No, The accord touring 2016 is the one giving 12 mpg on non-econ mode on city

How are you determining the 12 mpg you stated? The computer takes readings from each time the engine is started and then shut-off. If I start my car and only drive a mile or two, the info center will display 4 to 8mpg... but, if I continue to drive, the actual mpg will climb and the info will be more accurate. Short bursts will display a low mpg... longer drives, better mpg |
