7.Higher speed limit control function
The higher speed limit is the highest speed at which the cruise control can be set. It is approx. 200 km/h [124 mph]. The cruise control cannot be set above this speed, and the vehicle speed cannot be increased over this speed by operating the ACCEL switch.
This control function is provided only on vehicles capable of driving at 200 km/h [124 mph].
8.Manual cancellation function
If any of the following signals is sent to the cruise control ECU while the vehicle is driving in the cruise control mode, the cruise control is cancelled: The cruise control mode is cancelled by turning off the magnetic clutch inside the actuator.
(1)CANCEL switch “on” signal (control switch is pulled)
(2)Stop light switch “on” signal (brake pedal is depressed)
(3)Clutch switch “on” signal (M/T only) (clutch pedal is depressed)
(4)Neutral start switch “N” position signal, or except “D” or “3” position (A/T only)
9.Control of automatic transmission
When the vehicle is driving uphill in overdrive and the speed decreases below the overdrive cut-off speed (approx. 4 km/h [2.5 mph] subtracted from the set speed), the cruise control ECU increases the torque by canceling overdrive to prevent further reduction of vehicle speed.
When the vehicle speed increases over the overdrive resume speed (approx. 2 km/h [1.2 mph] subtracted from the set speed), the cruise control ECU resumes overdrive after approx. six seconds.
10.Magnetic clutch control function
If the vehicle speed increases more than 15 km/h [9.4 mph] above the set speed (as while driving downhill, for example) the cruise control ECU disengages the magnetic clutch to cause the vehicle to decelerate. When the vehicle speed decreases to within approx. 10 km/h [6.3 mph] above the set speed, the magnetic clutch is turned on again to resume the cruising speed.
11.Automatic cancellation function
When any of the following conditions occurs while the vehicle is in the cruise control mode, the set speed in the memory is erased and the cruise control is cancelled. At this time, the power indicator light blinks to alert the driver about the malfunction in the CCS.
(1)Excessive current flows to the motor or magnetic clutch drive circuit.
(2)The motor continuously attempts to open the throttle.
(3)The motor does not operate in spite of a motor drive signal being sent.
(4)An open circuit develops in the magnetic clutch.
(5)When there is abnormality in the speed sensor signal.
(6)Control switch is short or the SET switch and RESUME switch go on at the same time.
(7)When there is abnormality in the stop light circuit.
(8)The potentiometer signal is not sent to the cruise control ECU.
ETCS-i controlled type
(1)When there is abnormality in the stop light circuit.
(2)When there is abnormality in the speed sensor signal.
(3)When there is abnormality in ETCS-i.
