        • The vehicle decelerates constantly.

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

        		 ○ -

        • The set vehicle speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h or 5 mph. (Example: 103 → 100 → 95 km/h [mph])

        • The vehicle will remain at the speed at which the vehicle is being driven when the COAST switch is released.

        		 - ○
        RES Switch Control If the vehicle speed is above the low speed limit, the cruise control system resumes operation (when the cruise control switch is subsequently moved to the +RES side) to reach the vehicle speed that was set at the time the driver canceled cruise control. ○ ○
        If the vehicle ahead changes driving lanes during follow-up control, the vehicle speed is gradually increased to the set vehicle speed. At this time, the vehicle speed can be increased promptly by moving the cruise control switch to the +RES side. - ○

    2. Constant Speed Control


      1. The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and forward recognition camera transmits the information about the vehicle ahead to the driving support ECU assembly and also transmits a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly operation signal to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the driving support ECU assembly. The hybrid vehicle control ECU compares the set vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed, and performs constant speed control by regulating the throttle in order to attain the set vehicle speed.

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

        B005KRRE11

    3. Vehicle-to-vehicle Distance Control Mode


      • In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the hybrid vehicle control ECU performs deceleration control function, follow-up control and acceleration control function based on the information about the vehicle ahead transmitted from the driving support ECU assembly, millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and forward recognition camera.


      1. Deceleration Control


        • The driving support ECU assembly calculates the target deceleration rate in accordance with signals from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, forward recognition camera and transmits a deceleration request signal to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Upon receiving this signal, the hybrid vehicle control ECU performs engine, MG2 and brake control in order to cause the vehicle to decelerate

          B005KRKE02

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

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

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

          B005KTGE05

        • If the vehicle is not decelerating adequately, the skid control ECU sounds the PCS buzzer (skid control buzzer assembly) based on a request signal from the driving support ECU assembly. The buzzer is sounded to urge the driver to depress the brake pedal.

          B005KUKE07

      2. Follow-up Control


        • After performing deceleration control, the driving support ECU assembly transmits request signals to the hybrid vehicle control ECU so that the vehicle can follow the vehicle ahead while maintaining the proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance. The actual distance maintained for each distance level (long, middle and short) varies in accordance with vehicle speed. Upon receiving these signals, these ECUs control the motive force in order to perform follow-up control.

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

          B005KS4E08

      3. Acceleration Control


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

          B005KS5E05

      4. Automatic Cancel Control


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

  3. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Cruise Control Switch


      1. The cruise control switch consists of the ON-OFF button, and the +RES, -SET and CANCEL switches. The ON-OFF button, +RES, -SET and CANCEL switches are operated by moving the lever in the 4 directions indicated.

      2. When the cruise control system is turned on using the main switch (ON-OFF button), the system starts in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. When the main switch is pushed and held for 1.5 seconds or more from the cruise control system off, The system changes to constant control mode.

    2. Vehicle-to-vehicle Distance Control Switch


      1. While the vehicle is being driven in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting can be changed as follows each time the distance control switch is pressed; long → middle → short → long.

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

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

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

        Tech Tips

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

    3. Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor


      1. The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly emits electrical waves in the millimeter waveband towards the front of the vehicle. When a preceding vehicle is present, the sensor receives electrical waves reflected off of the rear surface of the preceding vehicle. The system determines whether there is a preceding vehicle in the same lane and calculates the distance to the preceding vehicle and relative vehicle speed according to the change in frequency of the received electrical waves and using an electronic scan. This calculated data is then output to the driving support ECU assembly. For details about the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, refer to the pre-collision system.

    4. Forward Recognition Camera


      1. The forward recognition camera captures images of the front with the monocular camera that is equipped. By performing image processing on the captured images, the size of the preceding vehicle and lane marker recognition of the road are possible; in addition, improvements were designed for things such as recognition precision for preceding vehicles, road judgment and detection of vehicles cutting into the lane. For details about the forward recognition camera, refer to the lane departure alert system (w/ steering control).

  4. OPERATION


    1. Combination Meter Sub-assembly


      1. The combination meter sub-assembly has a master warning light, cruise control indicator light (constant speed control mode), cruise control indicator light (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode), cruise SET indicator light, buzzer, and multi-information display to provide warnings and messages regarding the dynamic radar cruise control system.

      2. The multi-information display displays the set vehicle speed, vehicle ahead mark, and warning message.

  5. DIAGNOSIS


    1. If a malfunction occurs in the dynamic radar cruise control system during cruise control operation, the hybrid vehicle control ECU and driving support ECU assembly cancels the cruise control operation, illuminates the master warning light, sounds a buzzer in the combination meter sub-assembly, and displays a warning message on the multi-information display to inform the driver of the malfunction. At this time, the malfunction is stored in memory as a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

    2. The DTCs can be read when a Global TechStream (GTS) is connected to the DLC3. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
