  1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION 

    HINT:

    The dynamic laser cruise control system has two 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 laser cruise control system.
    • Operation of the constant speed control mode is the same as that for the conventional type cruise control system.

      5. After pushing the cruise control main switch to RES/ACC at a driving speed of more than 40 km/h (25 mph), check that the vehicle restores the speed prior to the cancellation.

        HINT:

        RESUME function (in the Vehicle-to-vehicle Distance Control Mode only)

        The stored vehicle speed is retained even if 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 vehicle speed returned to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
