HINT:
The dynamic radar cruise control system has 2 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 the cruise control system.
- INSPECT SET SWITCH
- Push the cruise control main switch ON.
- Drive at the desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
- Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Check that the vehicle cruises at the desired speed.
- INSPECT "+" SWITCH
- Push the cruise control main switch ON.
- Drive at the desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
- Press 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 set speed when the released.
- Constant speed control mode:
Momentarily press the control switch to SET/ COAST, and then immediately release it. Check that the vehicle speed decreases by about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) (Tap-down function).
- INSPECT "-" SWITCH
- Push the cruise control main switch ON.
- Drive at the desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
- Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Check that vehicle speed decreases while the cruise control main switch is pressed to SET / COAST, and the vehicle cruises at the set speed when the released.
- Constant speed control mode:
Momentarily press the control switch to SET / COAST, and then immediately release it. Check that the vehicle speed decreases by about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) (Tap-down function).
- INSPECT CANCEL SWITCH
- Push the cruise control main switch ON.
- Drive at the desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
- Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- When operating one of the following, check that the cruise control system is canceled.
- Depressing the brake pedal
- Moving the shift lever to any position except D (6th, 5th and 4th gears)
- Pushing the cruise control main switch OFF
- Pulling the cruise control main switch to CANCEL
- INSPECT RES (RESUME) SWITCH
- Push the cruise control main switch ON.
- Drive at the desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
- Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.
- Cancel the cruise control system by performing any of the operations below.
- Depressing the brake pedal
- Moving the shift lever to any position except D (6th, 5th and 4th gears)
- Pulling the cruise control main switch to CANCEL
- After the cruise control main switch is pressed to RES / ACC at a driving speed of more than 40 km/h (25 mph), check that the vehicle restores the speed before the cancellation.
HINT:
RESUME function in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only: The stored vehicle speed is retained even if the 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 the vehicle speed returned to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
