DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM ROAD TEST


  1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION

    Tech Tips


    • 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.

      *3 -SET Switch

      Inspect the SET function.


      1. Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch.

      2. Check that the cruise control indicator illuminates in the combination meter assembly.

      3. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

        Drive at a speed between approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or higher.

      4. Constant speed control mode:

        Drive at a speed between approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.

      6. Push the +RES switch and then release it immediately. Check that the vehicle speed increases* (tap-up control).

        Tech Tips

        *: Constant speed control mode: increases by approximately 1 km/h or 1 mph; vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: increases by approximately 5 km/h or 5 mph (for URZ100R-ACUBHW and URZ100L-ACUBHW) or 1 km/h or 1 mph (except URZ100R-ACUBHW and URZ100L-ACUBHW).

      6. Push the cruise control main switch to -SET, and then release it immediately. Check that the vehicle speed decreases* (tap-down control).

        Tech Tips

        *: Constant speed control mode: decreases by approximately 1 km/h or 1 mph; vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: decreases by approximately 5 km/h or 5 mph (for URZ100R-ACUBHW and URZ100L-ACUBHW) or 1 km/h or 1 mph (except URZ100R-ACUBHW and URZ100L-ACUBHW).

    4. B000Y7SC13
      *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly

      *3 -SET Switch

      Inspect the CANCEL function.


      1. Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch.

      2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

        Drive at a speed between approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or higher.

      5. B000Y7SC07
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 CANCEL Switch

        When any of the following are performed, check that control of vehicle speed by the dynamic radar cruise control system is canceled and that the normal driving mode (no control of vehicle speed by the dynamic radar cruise control system) resumes.


        • Depressing the brake pedal.

        • Moving the shift position from D to any other position.

        • Selecting the 3rd, 2nd or 1st range using the transmission shift switch assembly with the shift position in D.

        • Pushing the CANCEL switch.

        • Turning the dynamic radar cruise control system off using the cruise control main switch (The stored vehicle speed in the ECM is not maintained.).

        • Applying the electrical parking brake (only during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode).

    5. Inspect the RES (RESUME) function.


      1. B000Y7SC13
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 Cruise Control Main Switch
        *3 -SET Switch

        Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch.

      2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

        Drive at a speed between approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or higher.

      3. Constant speed control mode:

        Drive at a speed between approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.

      4. Push the -SET switch.

      5. Cancel control of vehicle speed by the dynamic radar cruise control system by performing any of the CANCEL functions (other than turning the dynamic radar cruise control system off using the cruise control main switch.

      6. B000Y7SC08
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 +RES Switch

        Push the +RES switch while driving the vehicle at a speed of more than approximately 40 km/h (25 mph), and check that the vehicle resumes the speed set prior to cancellation and that the cruise control SET indicator illuminates.

        Tech Tips

        The stored vehicle speed is retained even if vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). The previously stored vehicle speed can be resumed by pushing the +RES switch when the vehicle speed has returned to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.

  2. CHECK FULL-SPEED RANGE FOLLOWING FUNCTION (w/ Full-speed Range Following Function)


    1. Check cruise control setting


      1. B000Y7SC01
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 Cruise Control Main Switch

        Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch.

      2. Drive at a speed between approximately 0 km/h (0 mph) or higher.

      3. Check that there is a preceding vehicle that can be tracked.

        Tech Tips

        Tracking control may not track the preceding vehicle in the following conditions:


        • The rear of the preceding vehicle is small, such as an empty trailer or motorcycle.

      4. B000Y7SC05
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 -SET Switch

        Push the -SET switch.

      5. Check that tracking of the preceding vehicle begins with the set vehicle speed as the upper limit when the SET switch is pressed.

      6. Check that the set vehicle speed is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

    2. Check deceleration function


      1. When the preceding vehicle decelerates, check that the vehicle automatically decelerates while maintaining the set vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

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

        Tech Tips

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

    3. Check acceleration function


      1. When the preceding vehicle starts off, check that "Push Cruise Control Switch or Press Accelerator to Resume" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

      2. B000Y7SC08
        *1 Steering Pad Switch Assembly
        *2 +RES Switch

        When the +RES switch is pushed or the accelerator pedal is depressed, check that tracking control resumes and begins tracking the preceding vehicle.

    4. Check tracking control cancel function


      1. When the vehicle speed is approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or less and the preceding vehicle is no longer in front of the vehicle, check that "CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly and tracking control cancels.

        Tech Tips

        Tracking control also automatically cancels when the preceding vehicle moves out of the detection range due to a curve, etc., when the vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or less.
