SmartCruise (Optional)
Road Curves and SmartCruise
1.
Gentle Curves
SmartCruise 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 target vehicle in front. If this happens, the host vehi-
cle will maintain its current speed. When the target vehicle in
front is again within the view of the EVT-300, SmartCruise 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 situa-
tions that the vehicle and driver may encounter while in SmartCruise.
SmartCruise Failure
Cruise Control/SmartCruise Fails to Operate
Due to various engine OEM’s, 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 2 times within 10 seconds starting from
the “ON” position. If this does not work, please contact your dealership
or maintenance personnel.
WARNING: SmartCruise 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 SmartCruise and take all necessary actions to
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
