The CRJ900 does not have Auto Throttle.

Open the copilot interface and push the faster or slower buttons to tell the copilot to hold the speed for you. The real aircraft doesn't have auto throttle but you can use the copilot as replacement.

It can hold a speed in a climb. With a rate of climb set on the auto pilot, selecting speed on the auto pilot will hold the speed in the climb, automatically adjusting the climb rate downwards as the plane flies up into less dense air with falling engine thrust. The desired speed can be adjusted with the rotary control previously used to set the rate of climb.
It can be used to a lesser extent in a descent, there is less point in holding a speed rather than a desired descent rate with the engines at or near idle thrust.
