Road Test [09/2015 - 12/2017]

  1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION 

    HINT: 

    The dynamic radar cruise control system has 2 cruise control modes: constant speed control mode and vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.

    • Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is selected by default when the dynamic radar cruise control system is turned on using the cruise control main switch.
    • Operation of constant speed control mode is the same as that for a conventional cruise control system.

      Refer to ROAD TEST [09/2015 - 12/2017]

      2. When the vehicle stops, check that "WAITING" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

        HINT: 

        When "WAITING" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, even if the brake pedal is depressed, tracking control is not canceled.

    3. Check acceleration function
      1. When the preceding vehicle starts off, check that "PRECEDING VEHICLE MOVEMENT/Operate Cruise Lever or Accelerator Pedal to Resume" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.
