CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: ROAD TEST

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.
1. INSPECT SET SWITCH





(a) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(b) Drive at a speed of between 45 and 140 km/h (27 and 87 mph).

(c) Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.

(d) Check that the vehicle cruises at the desired speed.

2. INSPECT "+" SWITCH





(a) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(b) Drive at a speed of between 45 and 140 km/h (27 and 87 mph).

(c) Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.

(d) 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 switch is released.

(e) 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).

3. INSPECT "-" SWITCH





(a) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(b) Drive at a speed of between 45 and 140 km/h (27 and 87 mph).

(c) Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.

(d) 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 switch is released.

(e) 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).

4. INSPECT CANCEL SWITCH





(a) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(b) Drive at a speed of between 45 and 140 km/h (27 and 87 mph).

(c) Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.

(d) 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)

* Turning the cruise control main switch off

* Pulling the cruise control main switch to CANCEL

5. INSPECT RES (RESUME) SWITCH





(a) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(b) Drive at a speed of between 45 and 140 km/h (27 and 87 mph).

(c) Press the cruise control main switch to SET / COAST.

(d) 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

(e) 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.
