CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM(for 1ND-TV with Driving support ECU) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM

    This system is controlled by the driving support ECU assembly, and control is performed using the injector assembly. The driving support ECU assembly controls the following functions: ON-OFF, - (COAST)/SET, + (ACCEL)/RES (RESUME), CANCEL and vehicle speed operation.


    • The driving support ECU assembly compares the vehicle speed from the speed sensor with the stored vehicle speed set using the cruise control switch. When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the stored vehicle speed, the driving support ECU assembly instructs the ECM to decreases the fuel injection quantity. When the actual vehicle speed is less than the stored vehicle speed, the driving support ECU assembly instructs the ECM to increases the fuel injection quantity.

    • The driving support ECU assembly receives signals such as ON-OFF, - (COAST)/SET, + (ACCEL)/RES (RESUME), and CANCEL from the cruise control switch and executes the command.

    • The driving support ECU assembly illuminates the combination meter assembly cruise control indicator in green when the cruise control system is turned on using the cruise control switch (ON-OFF button).

    • The driving support ECU assembly illuminates the combination meter assembly cruise control indicator in amber when a malfunction occurs during cruise control driving (w/ multi-information display (segment LCD type)).

    • The driving support ECU assembly turns off the combination meter assembly cruise control indicator (green) and a warning message is displayed when a malfunction occurs during cruise control driving (w/ multi-information display (dot LCD type)).

    • A01LWHZC09
      *a Cruise Control Indicator (Illuminated in Green or in Amber)
      *b Cruise Control SET Indicator

      The driving support ECU assembly illuminates the combination meter assembly cruise control SET indicator when vehicle speed control begins after the cruise control switch is pushed to -/SET while driving.

    • The driving support ECU assembly cancels control of vehicle speed when the brake pedal is depressed and the driving support ECU assembly receives a signal from the stop light switch assembly.

    • The driving support ECU assembly cancels control of vehicle speed when the clutch pedal is depressed.

    • The driving support ECU assembly cancels control of vehicle speed when the cruise control switch is pulled to CANCEL.

    • The driving support ECU assembly cancels control of vehicle speed when the cruise control system is turned off using the cruise control switch (ON-OFF button).

  2. LIMIT CONTROL


    1. Low speed limit

      The lowest possible set speed is approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). The cruise control system cannot be set when the vehicle speed is below the low speed limit. Control of vehicle speed will be automatically canceled but the stored vehicle speed will be retained when the vehicle speed drops below the low speed limit while the cruise control is controlling vehicle speed.

    2. High speed limit

      The highest possible set speed is approximately 200 km/h (125 mph). The cruise control system cannot be set when the vehicle speed is over the high speed limit. Also, + (ACCEL)/RES (RESUME) cannot be used to increase the speed beyond the high speed limit.

  3. OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL

    The cruise control switch is used to turn the cruise control system on and off, as well as operate 7 functions: SET, - (COAST), TAP-DOWN, RES (RESUME), + (ACCEL), TAP-UP, and CANCEL. The SET, TAP-DOWN, and - (COAST) functions, and the RES (RESUME), TAP-UP, and + (ACCEL) functions are operated with the same switch. The cruise control switch is an automatic return type switch which turns on only while operating it in the direction of each arrow, and turns off after it is released.


    1. SET CONTROL

      The vehicle speed is stored and speed control begins when the cruise control switch is pushed to -/SET while driving with the cruise control system on (while the cruise control indicator is illuminated in green), and the vehicle speed is within the set speed range (between the low and high speed limits).

    2. - (COAST) CONTROL

      When the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed and the cruise control switch is pushed to -/SET and held in that position while the cruise control system is operating, the ECM sends a fuel injection quantity signal to the injector driver. Then, the vehicle speed is stored and maintained when the cruise control switch is released.

    3. TAP-DOWN CONTROL

      When the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed and the cruise control switch is tapped to -/SET (for approximately 0.6 seconds), the stored vehicle speed decreases by approximately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph) for each time the switch is tapped. When the cruise control switch is tapped to -/SET and the difference between the current and stored vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (approximately 3 mph), the current vehicle speed is stored and speed control is performed.

    4. ACCELERATION CONTROL

      When the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed and the cruise control switch is pushed to +/RES and held in that position, the cruise control system sends a signal to the ECM to increase the injection volume and perform constant acceleration control. Following this, the vehicle speed is stored and maintained when the cruise control switch is released.

    5. TAP-UP CONTROL

      When the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed and the cruise control switch is tapped to +/RES (for approximately 0.6 seconds), the stored vehicle speed increases by approximately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph) for each time the switch is tapped. When the cruise control switch is tapped to +/RES and the difference between the current and stored vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (approximately 3 mph), the stored vehicle speed will not be changed.

    6. RESUME CONTROL

      If cruise control system control of vehicle speed was canceled due to any of the manual cancel conditions (other than turning the cruise control system off using the cruise control switch (ON-OFF button), and if the vehicle speed is between the low and high speed limits, the stored vehicle speed from the time of cancellation will be resumed and maintained when the cruise control switch is pushed to +/RES.

    7. MANUAL CANCEL CONTROL

      Performing any of the following cancels the cruise control system control of vehicle speed (the stored vehicle speed in the driving support ECU assembly is maintained).


      • Depressing the brake pedal.

      • Depressing the clutch pedal.

      • Pulling the cruise control switch to CANCEL.

      • Turning the cruise control system off using the cruise control switch (ON-OFF button) (the stored vehicle speed in the driving support ECU assembly is not maintained).

  4. AUTO CANCEL (FAIL-SAFE)

    This system has an automatic cancellation function (fail-safe).
