Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
1
DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
The millimeter wave radar sensor in this system primarily detects the reflected wave from the rear end of the vehicle ahead of you to deter-
mine the presence of the vehicle ahead as well as measuring the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
The detection range of the sensor is about
120 m (400 ft.) ahead.
F
If no vehicle is detected ahead of you:
D
Your cruising speed is maintained at the preset speed from about 45 km/h (28 mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph).
F
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you:
D
Your cruising speed changes in proportion to the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain an appropriate distance from your vehicle to the
vehicle ahead.
D
If the vehicle ahead is out of the detection range, your cruising speed will be gradually increased up to the preset speed, and your vehicle
resumes fixed-speed cruising.
D
If the vehicle ahead decelerates abruptly or other vehicles cut in ahead of you, your vehicle may be too close to the vehicle ahead of you.
If this occurs, the multi-information display flashes and beeps.
(Approach warning)
The dynamic radar cruise control should be used on roads in which sufficient vehicle-to-vehicle distance will be ensured
(such as on freeways).
