Cruise Control
*: if equipped
Concept
Using this system, a desired speed can be adjusted using the buttons on the steering wheel. The system maintains the desired speed. The system accelerates and brakes automatically as needed.
General information
The system can be activated starting at 20 mph/30 km/h.
Depending on the vehicle set-tings, the characteristics of the Cruise Control may change.
Safety information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.
WARNING
The use of the system can lead to an increased risk of accidents in the following situations, for instance:
- On winding roads.
- In heavy traffic.
- On slippery roads, in fog, snow, or wet conditions, or on a loose road surface.
There is a risk of accidents or risk of damage to property. Only use the system if driving at constant speed is possible.
WARNING
The desired speed can be incorrectly adjusted or called up by mistake. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust the desired speed to the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
WARNING
When towing with Cruise Control switched on, individual functions may not work correctly. There is a risk of accident. Switch off all Cruise Control before towing.
Overview
Buttons on the steering wheel
Switching cruise control on/off
Switching on
Press the button on the steering wheel.
The indicator will come on.
Cruise control is active. The cur-rent speed is maintained and stored as desired speed.
VSC Vehicle Stability Control System is switched on, if necessary.
Switching offPress the button on the steering wheel.
The displays go out. The stored desired speed is deleted.
Pausing cruise control
Interrupting manually
When active, press the button.
Interrupting automatically
The system is automatically interrupted in the following situations, for example:
- When the driver applies the brakes.
- Manual transmission: the clutch pedal is depressed for a few seconds or released while a gear is not engaged.
- Manual transmission: if the gear engaged is too high for the current speed. Automatic transmission: selector lever position D is disengaged.
- Traction mode is activated or VSC Vehicle Stability Control System is deactivated.
- If VSC Vehicle Stability Control System intervenes.
Setting the speed
Maintaining and storing the speed
Press the rocker switch up or down once while the system is interrupted.
When the system is switched on, the current speed is maintained and stored as the desired speed.
The stored speed is displayed, refer to page 209, on the speedometer.
VSC Vehicle Stability Control System is switched on, if necessary.
The speed can also be stored by pressing a button.
Press the button.
Changing the speed
Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly until the desired speed is set.
If active, the displayed speed is stored and the vehicle reaches the stored speed when the road is clear.
- Each time the rocker switch is pressed to the resistance point, the desired speed increases or decreases by 1 mph/1 km/h.
- Each time the rocker switch is pressed past the resistance point, the desired speed changes by a maximum of 5 mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be set depends on the vehicle.
- Pressing the rocker switch to the resistance point and holding it accelerates or decelerates the vehicle without requiring pressure on the accelerator pedal.
After the rocker switch is released, the vehicle maintains its final speed. Pressing the switch beyond the resistance point causes the vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
Continuing cruise control
An interrupted cruise control can be continued by calling up the stored speed.
Make sure that the difference between current speed and stored speed is not too large before calling up the stored speed. Otherwise, unintentional braking or accelerating may occur.
Press the button with the system interrupted.
Cruise control is continued with the stored values.
In the following cases, the stored speed value is deleted and cannot be called up again:
- When the system is switched off.
- When drive-ready state is switched off.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Indicator light
- Indicator light green: system is active.
- Gray indicator light: the system has been interrupted.
- No indicator light: system is switched off.
Status display
With the proper equipment, the value of the selected speed is briefly displayed digitally.
Displays in the Head-up Display
Some system information can also be displayed in the Head-up Display.
The symbol is displayed when the set desired speed is reached.
System limits
The desired speed is also maintained downhill.
The speed may not be maintained on uphill grades if the engine power is insufficient.
FAQs
The 2023 Toyota Supra is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control distinguishes itself from regular cruise control by incorporating the ability to automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed in response to the surrounding traffic conditions. Adaptive Cruise Control is capable of autonomously modifying the speed of the vehicle in order to ensure a safe gap between it and the preceding vehicle, while conventional cruise control maintains a steady speed determined by the driver.
The text consists of two asterisks and a single asterisk below it .The Supra’s Adaptive Cruise Control is capable of functioning at various speeds, enabling it to operate efficiently on highways at high speeds as well as in stop-and-go traffic situations.
The Supra’s Adaptive Cruise Control system utilizes a variety of sensors.The system employs radar and camera sensors to observe traffic conditions and adapt the vehicle’s speed accordingly.
Indeed, drivers typically have the option to choose from various following distances, enabling them to personalize their selection according to their preferences and the prevailing traffic conditions
