Road Curves and the SmartCruise System
1. Gentle Curves
The SmartCruise system will continue to maintain a set following
interval in a gentle curve as long as the turn is greater than 750 feet
(228 m) radius.
2. Sharp Curves
When maintaining a set following interval, the system may lose track
of the forward vehicle. If this happens, your vehicle will maintain its
current speed. When the forward vehicle is again within the view of
the EVT-300 system, the SmartCruise system will restore the set
following interval. Refer to pages 17 through 21 for “Typical System
Tracking” and “Special Road Situations”.
Note: The previous paragraphs do not address all the possible driving situations that
the vehicle and driver may encounter while in SmartCruise.
SmartCruise System Failure
Cruise Control/SmartCruise System Fails to Operate
Due to the variety of engines available by OEM, the procedure to override this error
and return to normal cruise control must come from the engine manufacturer.
Note: The most widely used method among engine manufacturers is to toggle the
cruise control on/off switch two (2) times within 10 seconds starting from
the “ON” position. If this does not work, please contact your dealership or
maintenance personnel.
WARNING: The SmartCruise system is not a substitute for an alert,
trained driver. The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe operation
of the vehicle and the driver should fully understand the operating
characteristics of the SmartCruise system and take all necessary
actions to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
