ROAD TEST
HINT:
- 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.
PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION (CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE)
(a) Inspect the SET function.
(1) Push and hold the cruise control main switch for 1.5 seconds or more with the dynamic radar cruise control system off to change to constant speed control mode.

(6) After releasing the switch, check that the vehicle maintains the set speed.
HINT:
If the vehicle speed decreases to 16 km/h (10 mph) less than the vehicle set speed such as when driving on a steep slope, control of vehicle speed by the dynamic cruise control system is canceled.

(5) Push the +RES switch and then release it immediately. Check that vehicle speed increases by approximately 1 km/h or 1 mph (tap-up control).
HINT:
If the difference between the set vehicle speed and actual vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, tap-up control will not operate.
(6) Confirm that the set vehicle speed displayed on the multi-information display changes when the +RES switch is pushed.
