SmartCruise (Optional)
EVT-300 SmartCruise (Optional)
SmartCruise is an optional enhancement to the Eaton VORAD EVT-300 CWS
system. SmartCruise is activated whenever the vehicle’s standard cruise con-
trol system is activated and the EVT-300 is powered on. When SmartCruise is
active, the green “S/C” (SmartCruise) light in the upper right corner of the
Driver Display Unit will illuminate or a headway control indicator will be evi-
dent on an OEM proprietary - messaging center.
The “RANGE” control knob (see Figure 8, page 13), adjusts the SmartCruise
“following intervals”. The SmartCruise system will either maintain the selected
following interval between the host vehicle and a vehicle ahead or, in the case
of no target vehicle, the set cruise control speed. The following interval takes
precedence over the set cruise control speed.
Listed below are descriptions of the most common situations encountered
while using SmartCruise.
• Cruise On and No Vehicle Detected
If no vehicle is present in front of the vehicle (or if present and
beyond the range of the EVT-300 system), the vehicle will main-
tain the speed selected by the cruise control.
• Cruise On and Vehicle Detected
The driver can adjust the SmartCruise following interval from
2.25 to 3.25 seconds if enabled. See table on next page for fol-
lowing interval in seconds versus following interval in feet, at
various speeds.
WARNING: SmartCruise does not replace an alert, trained driver.
SmartCruise will not react to stationary objects and cannot bring
the vehicle to a complete stop. The driver still needs to use good
driving practices to avoid an accident.
