AUTO CANCEL FUNCTION (FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION)

HINT: If a system malfunction occurs, the applicable DTCs will appear on the multi-information display.




a. The CRUISE main indicator light keeps blinking until the main switch is turned off, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop", and the display shows "E3". The cruise control operation is suspended until turning the main switch ON again. The auto cancel function deletes the stored vehicle speed and cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions.
1. When the vehicle speed signal malfunctions.
2. When the electronic throttle parts malfunction.
3. When the stop lamp switch has an open or short circuit.
4. When the laser radar sensor malfunctions. (*1)
5. When the light axis of the laser radar sensor is off position. (*1)

b. The CRUISE main indicator light blinks, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop", and the display shows "E2". The cruise control operation is suspended until the canceling condition is resolved (in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only). The auto cancel function cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions.
1. When the wipers (Hi, Lo) operate (including the auto wiper).
2. When the pattern select switch is in the "SNOW" mode.
3. When the laser radar sensor receives strong light, such as sunlight, from the front side.
4. When the vehicle-to-vehicle distance measurement is extremely unstable because of bad weather.




c. The auto cancel function cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions. At this time, the CRUISE main indicator light blinks, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop" and the display shows "E1". The cruise control operation is suspended until the canceling condition is resolved (in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only).
