- PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
HINT:
The dynamic radar cruise control system has two cruise control modes: the constant speed control mode and vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
- The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is always selected when starting up the dynamic radar cruise control system.
- Operation of the constant speed control mode is the same as that for a conventional cruise control system.
- Inspect the SET function.
- Turn the main switch ON.
- Drive at the required speed (43 km/h (27 mph) or higher).
- Push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- After releasing the switch, check that the vehicle cruises at the set speed.
- Inspect the ACCELERATION function.
- Turn the main switch ON.
- Drive at the required speed (43 km/h (27 mph) or higher).
- Push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Check that vehicle speed increases while the cruise control main switch is pushed to RES / ACC, and that the vehicle cruises at the newly set speed when the switch is released.
- Momentarily push the cruise control main switch RES / ACC and then immediately release it. Check that vehicle speed increases* (tap-up control).
HINT:
*: Constant speed control mode: increases by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph); vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: increases by 5 km/h (3 mph)
- Inspect the COAST function.
- Turn the main switch ON.
- Drive at the required speed (43 km/h (27 mph) or higher).
- Push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Check that vehicle speed decreases while the cruise control main switch is pushed to SET / COAST, and the vehicle cruises at the newly set speed when the switch is released.
- Momentarily push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST, and then immediately release it. Check that vehicle speed decreases* (tap-down control).
HINT:
*: Constant speed control mode: decreases by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph); vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: decreases by 5 km/h (3 mph).
- Inspect the CANCEL function.
- Turn the main switch ON.
- Drive at the required speed (43 km/h (27 mph) or higher).
- Push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- When performing one of the following, check that the cruise control system is cancelled and that the normal driving mode is reset.
- Depressing the brake pedal
- Moving the shift lever to any position except D (6th, 5th and 4th gears)
- Turning the main switch OFF
- Pulling the cruise control main switch to CANCEL
- Inspect the RES (RESUME) function.
- Turn the main switch ON.
- Drive at the required speed (43 km/h (27 mph) or higher).
- Push the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Cancel the cruise control system according to any of the above operations (other than turning the main switch OFF).
- After pushing the cruise control main switch to RES / ACC at a driving speed of more than 40 km/h (25 mph), check that the vehicle drives at the set speed.
HINT:
RESUME function in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only: The stored vehicle speed is retained even if vehicle speed goes below 40 km/h (25 mph) once. The previously stored vehicle speed can be resumed by pushing the cruise control main switch to RES / ACC when vehicle speed returned to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
