Cruise Control Switch: Testing and Inspection

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CHECK

CRUISE CONTROL "ON/OFF" SWITCH CHECK

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.









2. Check that the "CRUISE" indicator light within the combination meter illuminates when the "ON/OFF" switch is pressed (cruise control system: ON.)
3. Press the "ON/OFF" switch again (cruise control system: OFF), and check that the "CRUISE" indicator light within the combination meter goes out.

CRUISE CONTROL SETTING

1. Start the engine.

2. Press the "ON/OFF" switch (cruise control system: ON, "CRUISE" indicator light: illuminated.)

3. Drive at the desired speed, above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph.)





4. Press the "COAST/SET" switch.
5. Check to be sure that when the "COAST/SET" switch is released the speed is the constant speed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed decreases to approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) below the set speed because of climbing a hill for example, it is normal for the cruise control to be cancelled. When the vehicle speed becomes low-speed limit [approximately 40 km/h (25 mph)] or less, driving at constant speed will be cancelled even if the vehicle speed does not decrease 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.

SPEED-INCREASE SETTING

1. Start the engine.

2. Press the "ON/OFF" switch (cruise control system: ON, "CRUISE" indicator light: illuminated.)

3. Set to the desired speed, above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph.)





4. Press the "ACC/RES" switch.
5. Check to be sure that acceleration continues while the "ACC/RES" switch is pushed, and that the speed at the time it was released becomes the constant driving speed.
NOTE:
Acceleration can be continued even if the vehicle speed has passed the high-speed limit [approximately 200 km/h (125 mph)]. But the constant driving speed when the "ACC/RES" switch is released will be recorded as the high-speed limit.

SPEED-REDUCTION SETTING

1. Start the engine.

2. Press the "ON/OFF" switch (cruise control system: ON, "CRUISE" indicator light: illuminated.)

3. Set to the desired speed, above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph.)

4. Press the "COAST/SET" switch.

5. Check to be sure that deceleration continues while the "COAST/SET" switch is pressed, and that the speed at the time it was released becomes the constant driving speed.
NOTE:
When the vehicle speed reaches the low limit [approximately 40 km/h (25 mph)] during deceleration, the cruise control will be cancelled.

RETURN TO THE SET SPEED BEFORE CANCELLATION AND CRUISE CONTROL CANCELLATION

1. Start the engine.

2. Press the "ON/OFF" switch (cruise control system: ON, "CRUISE" indicator light: illuminated.)

3. Set to the desired speed, above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph.)





4. When any of the following operations are performed while at constant speed during cruise control, check if normal driving is resumed and deceleration occurs.
(1) The "CANCEL" switch is pressed.
(2) The brake pedal is depressed.
5. At a vehicle speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher, check if when the "ACC/RES" switch is pressed, the vehicle speed returns to the speed before cruise control driving was cancelled, and constant speed driving occurs.
6. When the "ON/OFF" switch is pressed again (cruise control system: OFF) while driving at constant speed, check if normal driving is resumed and deceleration occurs.
