0.5 second) while the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is in operation, the stored
vehicle speed decreases each time by approximately 5 km/h (CANADA) or 5 mph (USA).
h. ACCELERATOR CONTROL (Constant speed control mode)
The throttle valve motor of the throttle position sensor and motor is instructed by the ECM to
open the valve when RESUME/ACCEL on the cruise control main switch is pressed and held
while the constant speed control mode is in operation. Vehicle speed, when the cruise control
main switch is released from RESUME/ACCEL, is stored and constant speed control is
maintained.
i. ACCELERATION CONTROL (Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode)
When RESUME/ACCEL on the cruise control main switch is pressed and held while the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is in operation, the stored vehicle speed increases
by approximately 5 km/h (CANADA) or 5 mph (USA) per second.
Pushing the cruise control main switch to RESUME/ACCEL while following the vehicle in front
with the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode does not increase the actual vehicle speed, but
changes only the set vehicle speed.
j. TAP-UP CONTROL (Constant speed control mode)
When tapping up on the cruise control main switch to RESUME/ACCEL (for approximately
0.5 second) while the constant speed control mode is in operation, the stored vehicle speed
increases each time by approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph). However, when the difference
between the driving and the stored vehicle speeds is more than 5 km/h (3 mph), the stored
vehicle speed will not be changed.
k. TAP-UP CONTROL (Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode)
When tapping up on the cruise control main switch to RESUME/ACCEL (for approximately
0.5 second) while the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is in operation, the stored
vehicle speed increases each time by approximately 5 km/h (CANADA) or 5 mph (USA).

Pushing the cruise control main switch ON-OFF button off (The stored vehicle speed
in the ECM is not maintained.)
m. RESUME CONTROL
If the cruise control operation was cancelled with the stop lamp switch or the CANCEL
switch, and if driving speed is within the limit range, pushing the cruise control main switch
to RESUME/ACCEL restores vehicle speed memorized at the time of cancellation, and
maintains constant speed control. In constant speed mode, once vehicle speed goes below the
low speed limit, RESUME operation is not possible even if accelerating up to the low speed
limit, or more, again.
5.BRAKE CONTROL
Page 2538 of 4500

The distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) determines the distance between a vehicle in front and
your own, relative speed, target decreasing speed and deceleration rate to transmit a brake demand signal
to the skid control ECU via ECM.
6.DOWNSHIFT CONTROL
While the cruise control system is in operation, the gear may downshift from overdrive (6th) to 5th on an
uphill road. After the gear is shifted down to 5th, if the system determines that the uphill inclination has
become smaller based on throttle opening, the gear automatically returns to overdrive (6th).
7.AUTO CANCEL (FAIL-SAFE)
This system has an automatic cancellation function (fail-safe) (for details, SEE FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
The hand-held tester can be used at steps 4, a, 6, 7, and 12.

The dynamic radar 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 radar
cruise control system.
Operation of the constant speed control mode is the same as that for the conventional type cruise
control system.
