Cruise Control Switch Circuit [10/2015 - 12/2017]: Description

The cruise control main switch is used to turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on and off, as well as operate 7 functions: SET, - (COAST), TAP-DOWN, RES (RESUME), + (ACCEL), TAP-UP and CANCEL.

The SET, TAP-DOWN and - (COAST) functions, and the RES (RESUME), TAP-UP and + (ACCEL) functions are operated with the same switch. The cruise control main switch contains momentary type contacts for each function. The contacts close only while the cruise control main switch is being operated in the direction of the relative function arrow, and open when the cruise control main switch is released. The voltage at the terminal of the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly changes as each of the different contacts open or close. The hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly reads this voltage and controls the SET, - (COAST), RES (RESUME), + (ACCEL), and CANCEL functions accordingly.

• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is selected by default when the dynamic radar cruise control system is turned on using the cruise control main switch (ON/OFF button).
• The operation of constant speed control mode is the same as that for a conventional cruise control system.
