Toyota Camry (XV70): Selecting constant speed control mode - Dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed
range
When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain
a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.
1. With the cruise control off,
press and hold the cruise control
main switch for 1.5 seconds
or more.
Immediately after the switch is
pressed, the dynamic radar cruise
control indicator will come on.
Afterwards, it switches to the cruise
control indicator.
Switching to constant speed control mode is only possible when operating
the switch with the cruise control off.
2. Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 20 mph
[30 km/h] ) and press the "- SET"
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control "SET" indicator will
come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment
the switch is released becomes the
set speed.
■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After
accelerating,
the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
- Pressing the "+ RES" switch while the vehicle ahead stops will resume
follow-
up cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds
after the switch is pressed.
- If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 seconds after your vehicle
stops, follow-
up cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the
following
situations:
- VSC is activated.
- TRAC is activated for a period of time.
- When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
- The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
- When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving
support system
operates. (For example: Pre-Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
- The parking brake is operated.
- The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
- The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control:
- The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
- The driver's door is opened.
- The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any
reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following
situations:
- Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below
the set vehicle speed.
- Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
- VSC is activated.
- TRAC is activated for a period of time.
- When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
- When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving
support system
operates. (For example: Pre-Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
- The parking brake is operated.
If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any reasons
other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your
Toyota dealer.
■Situations in which the curve speed reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may
not operate:
- When the vehicle is being driven around a gentle curve
- When the accelerator pedal is being depressed
- When the vehicle is being driven around an extremely short curve
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the
instructions.
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the
brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning may not be activated.
- Vehicles that cut in suddenly
- Vehicles traveling at low speeds
- Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
- Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
- Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
- When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
- When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
- Preceding vehicle has an extremely
high ground clearance
■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (or
accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
- When the road curves or when the
lanes are narrow
- When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable
- When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
- When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or
on
a bridge
- While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
■Situations in which the curve speed reduction function may not operate
properly
In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may
not operate properly:
- When the vehicle is being driven around a curve on an incline/decline
- When the course of the vehicle differs from the shape of the curve
- When the vehicle speed is excessively high when entering a curve
- When the steering wheel is suddenly operated

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (a) Blind spot monitor data and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read from the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.

DESCRIPTION If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits ABS operation.
This DTC is stored when the +BS terminal voltage meets one of the DTC detection conditions due to a malfunction i
