  2. FUNCTION


    1. Control of Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System Varies Depending on Mode


      • A: Constant speed control mode

      • B: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

      • C: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode (models with full-speed following function)

      Function Outline Mode
      A B C
      Constant Speed Control Controls the motive force through the power management control ECU and the skid control ECU assembly, and adjusts the vehicle speed to the set vehicle speed.
      Deceleration Control Performs engine, MG2 and brake control in order to decelerate the vehicle so that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance between the driver's own vehicle and the vehicle ahead equals the set speed. -
      Follow-up Control After effecting deceleration control, the vehicle follows the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in accordance with the vehicle speed. -
      Acceleration Control Accelerates the vehicle in order to attain the set vehicle speed when the vehicle or the vehicle ahead has changed lanes. -
      Stop Control Detects if the vehicle ahead has stopped, performs motive force control and stops the vehicle while maintaining proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance. - -
      Stop Retention Control Judges if the vehicle is stopped, performs brake control and keeps the vehicle stopped through the brake hold function. - -
      Start Control Detects that the vehicle ahead starts moving again, displays the message on the multi-information display to urge the driver to perform the start-off operation (to operate the cruise control main switch or depress the accelerator pedal), and resumes follow-up control after the vehicle is started. - -
      Set Control

      While this system fulfils the following condition and the cruise control main switch is pressed to the -SET direction and released when the ON-OFF button on the cruise control main switch has been pressed to turn the system on, the driving support ECU assembly stores the vehicle speed and maintains the vehicle constantly at that speed.


      • The shift lever is in D.

      The vehicle is running within the following speed range:


      • Approx. 50 km/h to 200 km/h (30 mph to 125 mph)

      - -

      The vehicle is running within the following speed range:


      • Approx. 50 km/h to 170 km/h (30 mph to 105 mph)

      -
      Low Speed Limit Control The low speed limit is the lowest speed that the dynamic radar cruise control system can be set at and the speed limit is designed to be approx. 40 km/h (25 mph). The cruise control system cannot be set below this speed. If the vehicle speed drops below this speed while the cruise control system is running, the cruise control system will be canceled automatically. However, the set speed is kept in the memory.
      Coast Control While the cruise control main switch is held to the -SET direction, the vehicle speed and the set speed change in accordance with the mode as follows:

      • The vehicle decelerates constantly.

      • The set speed changes to the speed at which the switch is released.

      - -

      • The set speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h or 5 mph (for example: 57 → 55 → 50 km/h, 57 → 55 → 50 mph).

      • The vehicle will remain at the speed that the vehicle is traveling at when the coast switch is released.

      -
      Tap-down Control When the cruise control main switch is pushed momentarily (approx. 0.6 seconds or less) to the -SET direction, the vehicle speed and the set speed change as follows, in accordance with the mode:

      • The vehicle will decelerate in increments of approx. 1.6 km/h (1mph) each time the switch is pressed.

      • However, if the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed will change to the speed at which the vehicle was being driven at the time the switch was operated.

      - -
      When the cruise control main switch is pushed momentarily (approx. 0.6 seconds or less) to the -SET direction, the vehicle will decelerate in increments of approx. 1 km/h or 1 mph each time the switch is pressed. -
      Accelerator Control When the cruise control main switch is pushed to the +RES direction and held, the vehicle speed and the set speed change in accordance with the mode as follows:

      • The vehicle will accelerate constantly.

      • The set speed changes to the speed at which the switch is released.

      - -

      • The set speed increases in increments of 5 km/h or 5 mph (for example: 52 → 55 → 60 km/h, 52 → 55 → 60 mph).

      • The vehicle will accelerate to the speed that is set at the time the switch is released.

      • However, only the set speed will change during follow-up control.

      -
      Tap-up Control When the cruise control main switch is pushed momentarily (approx. 0.6 seconds or less) to the +RES direction, the vehicle speed and the set speed change as follows:

      • The vehicle will accelerate in increments of approx. 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time the switch is pressed.

      • However, if the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed does not change.

      - -
      The vehicle will accelerate in increments of approx. 1 km/h or 1 mph each time the switch is pressed. -
      Resume Control When the vehicle speed is above the low speed limit, the cruise control system resumes operation (when the cruise control main switch is subsequently moved to the +RES side) to reach the vehicle speed that was set at the time the driver canceled cruise control system.
      Even if the vehicle speed drops below the low speed limit, resumption can be performed when the vehicle speed increases to above the low speed limit. (However, resumption can be performed even if the vehicle speed is below the low speed limit when the vehicle is running in mode B and there is a vehicle ahead.) - -
      When the vehicle ahead changes driving lanes during follow-up control, the vehicle speed is gradually increased to the set speed. At this time, the vehicle speed can be increased promptly by pushing the cruise control main switch to the +RES direction. -
      After the vehicle ahead has started running again under stop retention control and then the message that urges the driver to perform the start-off operation has been displayed, follow-up control is resumed and the vehicle can be accelerated up to the set speed when the cruise control main switch is pushed to the + RES side. - -
      Manual Cancel Control

      When any of the following signals are sent to the driving support ECU assembly, the dynamic radar cruise control system is canceled accordingly:


      • Stop light switch on signal (the brake pedal is depressed)

      • D position off signal (the shift lever is moved from D to N)

      • Signal to select the D1, D2 and D3 ranges in D position using paddle shift control

      • Signal to select the S1, S2 and S3 ranges

      • CANCEL switch on signal (the cruise control main switch is moved to the CANCEL direction)

      • ON-OFF button off signal

      Automatic Cancel Control When an automatic cancel signal is sent to the driving support ECU assembly, the cruise control system operation is canceled. At this time, the warning method and the control resumption condition vary in accordance with the cancel signal.
      Mode Switching Control

      The following operations switch the modes:


      • (a) ON-OFF button on the cruise control main switch is on (starts in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode).

      • (b) Cruise control main switch is held in the MODE direction (approx. 1 second or more).

      If the switch has been pushed in any other direction before switching modes, switch the dynamic radar cruise control system to off, and then perform steps (a) and (b) again.

    2. Constant Speed Control


      1. The driving support ECU assembly compares the actual vehicle speed (wheel speed signal from the skid control ECU assembly) with the set vehicle speed under constant speed control mode. When the actual vehicle speed differs from the set vehicle speed, the driving support ECU assembly calculates the acceleration or deceleration required to achieve the set vehicle speed and transmits acceleration or deceleration request signals to the power management control ECU, thus optimally controlling the motive force and adjusting the actual vehicle speed to the set vehicle speed.

      2. In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the driving support ECU assembly performs deceleration control, follow-up control, acceleration control, stop control*, stop retention control* or start control* based on the information about the vehicle ahead transmitted from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.


        • *: Models with full-speed following function

        A01FPBTE02
    3. Deceleration Control


      1. The driving support ECU assembly calculates the target deceleration rate in accordance with signals from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, and transmits a deceleration request signal to the power management control ECU and the skid control ECU assembly. Upon receiving this signal, these ECUs control the motive force and decelerate the vehicle in order to cause the vehicle to decelerate.

      2. This control is not performed in the presence of a parked vehicle or object, or below the settable vehicle speed range.

        A01FPBLE02
      3. When the driving support ECU assembly determines that further deceleration is necessary, it transmits a brake request signal to the skid control ECU assembly. Upon receiving this signal, the skid control ECU assembly then activates the brake actuator assembly to apply the brakes.

      4. At this time, if the deceleration rate is higher than a predetermined value, the skid control ECU assembly outputs a stop light illumination request signal to the integration relay, in order to inform anyone who might be following the vehicle.

        A01FPSJE02
      5. If the vehicle is not decelerating adequately, the skid control ECU assembly sounds the skid control buzzer assembly based on the request signal from the driving support ECU assembly to urge the driver to depress the brake pedal.

      6. If further deceleration is necessary, the skid control ECU assembly sounds the skid control buzzer assembly based on the request signal from the driving support ECU assembly to urge the driver to depress the brake pedal.

        A01FPC1E01
    4. Follow-up Control


      1. After performing deceleration control, the driving support ECU assembly transmits a acceleration or deceleration request signal to the power management control ECU and the skid control ECU assembly, so that the vehicle can follow the vehicle ahead while maintaining a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in accordance with the vehicle speed. Upon receiving this signal, these ECUs control the motive force in order to perform follow-up control.

      2. 3 stages (long, middle and short) of vehicle-to-vehicle distance can be selected by operating the distance control switch.

        A01FPA3E02
    5. Acceleration Control


      1. When the driving support ECU assembly detects that either the vehicle ahead or own vehicle has changed lanes, a acceleration request signal is transmitted to the power management control ECU in order to attain the set vehicle speed. Upon receiving this signal, the power management control ECU controls the motive force of the engine and MG2 in order to perform acceleration control.

        A01FP7ME02
    6. Stop Control (Models with Full-speed Following Function)


      1. The driving support ECU assembly detects if the vehicle ahead stops through the signals from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and calculates the motive force required to stop the driver's own vehicle while maintaining an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance. The ECU then transmits the motive force request signals to the power management control ECU and the skid control ECU assembly. Upon receiving this signal, these ECUs control the motive force and stop the vehicle.

      2. At this time, if the deceleration rate is higher than a predetermined value, the skid control ECU assembly outputs a stop light illumination request signal to the integration relay, in order to inform anyone who might be following the vehicle.

      3. The distance between the driver's own vehicle and the preceding vehicle when the vehicles are stopped is set to approximately 3 m to 5 m (approximately 10 ft. to 16 ft.) regardless of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance preset by using the distance control switch.

        A01FPBDE01
    7. Stop Retention Control (Models with Full-speed Following Function)


      1. After the vehicle has stopped under stop control, the driving support ECU assembly transmits a stop retention request signal to the skid control ECU assembly. Upon receiving this signal, the skid control ECU assembly activates the brake hold function and keeps the vehicle stopped.

        A01FP56E01
    8. Start Control (Models with full-speed following function)


      1. When the driving support ECU assembly detects that the vehicle ahead starts moving again from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly signals, it displays the messages "PRECEDING VEHICLE MOVEMENT" and "Operate cruise lever or accelerator pedal to resume" on the multi-information display to urge the driver to perform the start-off operation (to push the cruise control main switch to the +RES side or to depress the accelerator pedal).

      2. On receiving the start-off operation signal generated by pushing the cruise control main switch to the +RES side or by depressing the accelerator pedal, the driving support ECU assembly transmits a motive force request signal to the power management control ECU. Upon receiving this signal, the power management control ECU controls the motive force of the engine and MG2, starts the vehicle and resumes follow-up control.

        A01FPJNE01
    9. Automatic Cancel Control


      1. When any of the conditions listed below occur while the vehicle is being driven using cruise control system, the cruise control system will be canceled. Then, the following warning items will appear for the driver.

      2. If the power switch is turned off and back to on (IG), the system will default to "long".

      3. The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is set as follows:

        Mode Vehicle-to-vehicle Distance*
        Long Approx. 50 m (160 ft.)
        Middle Approx. 40 m (130 ft.)
        Short Approx. 30 m (100 ft.)

        Tech Tips

        *: While driving at a vehicle speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

    3. Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor Assembly


      1. The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly consists of a millimeter wave radar circuit, signal processing circuit, and CPU.

      2. The millimeter wave radar outputs waves when the vehicle speed is above 0 km/h (0 mph), and not when the vehicle speed is at 0 km/h (0 mph). The millimeter wave radar uses frequencies in the 76.5 GHz band.

      3. The reception antennas receive the millimeter wave radar waves that have been reflected.

      4. The signal processing circuit detects the distance, relative speed, and the direction of the object by generating millimeter wave radar waves and calculating the signals received by the reception antennas. Then, it transmits this information to the driving support ECU.

        *e Millimeter Wave Radar Circuit - -
      5. The distance to the object, azimuth and relative speed are calculated from the information that is provided by the reflection millimeter wave radar as described below:

        Item Calculation Method
        Distance Calculated from the length of time that has elapsed from the time the waves of the millimeter wave radar have been emitted, until the waves reflected by the millimeter wave radar are received. The detection distance is approx. 150 m (490 ft.).
        Azimuth Calculated from the angle of the waves reflected by the millimeter wave radar that have been received. The detection angle has a horizontal angle of approx. 20° and a vertical angle of approx. 8°.
        Relative Speed Calculated by utilizing the changes (Doppler effect*) that occur in the frequencies of the reflected millimeter wave radar waves.

        Tech Tips

        *: The Doppler effect causes the observer to perceive the radio waves emitted by a moving object to be of higher frequencies as it approaches, and to be of lower frequencies as it recedes.
