I have a 2010 prius v with adv. Tech. I noticed that I cannot turn off radar if I want to use regular cruise control sometimes when there is denser traffic. I know that it can be turned off on a Toyota sienna if you press and hold the radar distance button. I've tried with the prius, no luck.

View 18 RepliesDoes dynamic radar cruise control come standard on 2013-2015 RX350 F Sports. What options are standard on the F Sport.
View 1 RepliesI've looked in the mounds of user manuals as well as searching here but can't find the answer to this question: How do you keep the EV screen showing on the upper dash after turning on radar cruise control? Even if I switch back to any of the EV screens the dang radar ready or the active radar screen takes over no matter how many times I go back to the EV screens. I have already set the option in setup to not automatically return to the previous screen on the 7" HDD screen.
View 8 RepliesIs there a way to change the default difference on the dynamic radar cruise control from 3 bars to 1 bar?
I think it's annoying to have to change it every time that I start the vehicle and activate cruise control.
I was driving at 65mph and decided to coast and slow my speed to 50mph, as there is congested traffic ahead. I know the radar will adjust my speed according but I wanted a slower set speed anyway. I held the cruise control lever in its downward position (thinking it was going to cause the car to coast and slow) Oh Oh! This thing is applying the brakes hard! I instinctively press the gas but it kept decelerating, no affects at all except the tranny downshifting or engine revving. I couldn't tell which, the radio was loud and it happened so quickly.
Moral to the story- I guess I should have read the owners manual. The manual say every .75 second the lever is held down the cars speed will be dropped 5 mph. My question is- since the car was applying the brakes and I overreacted and pressed the accelerator at the same time, was there a possibility of damaging a component? I know these cars are engineered extremely well.
So yesterday we had a bit of snow north of the city. I was driving on the highway and suddenly my cruise control deactivated and I got a message to clean the radar. Then I had PCM flash every second or so. I was really frustrated because this is a MINIMAL amount of snow and it's not even below zero. I'm hoping that this isn't an ongoing issue with these cars? Any solution besides getting out of the car and cleaning it? When I got home I saw that there was a layer of ice on the Lexus logo on the front of the car.....

.
One feature I am missing is all speed DRCC. In my car the cruise disengage at 25mph. I see the feature I am looking for is available in some other higher models and the Lexus technology video's says 'when your call is equipped with all speed DRCC'.
I would like to know if it's possible to add this feature in my 2016 ES by any means? I searched and couldn't find any other useful info.
Symptom: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) fails to slow down the vehicle, (with slowing down or stopped vehicle in front) when DISPlay button on the steering wheel is pressed several times after DRCC is set.
The issue was tested several times with my 2015 GS350 AWD, Canadian model. Maybe it only applies to me, or perhaps it applies to all models with Lexus Dynamic Radar Cruise Control equipped.
Tests: Speed up, turn on main cruise control, and start DRCC when there's no vehicle in front, set to desired cruise speed, set the distance range control to desired range. Now, press the DISPlay button on the handle a few times (5-6, maybe flip through the whole menus, long and short presses. You are all set. Now, drive up to a stopped vehicle or moving vehicle closing to a stop (or slowing down). 4 to 5 out of 10 times, I found out that the DRCC does not sense the vehicle in front, not applying the necessary brake. The screen (where vehicle in front is pictured) shows the vehicle in front at times, other times, The sensing screen is just left blank. Still, the vehicle is on cruise mode and keeps the set speed, however the it acts like a regular cruise control, NOT the dynamic radar one when approaching a slowing down vehicle. At times, pre-collision warning beeps if the vehicle in too close, still no brake. When I says 4 to 5 out of 10 times, the other 5 to 6 out of 10 times, it works beautifully as it is suppsed to. (i.e. slowing the vehicle accordingly)
I tested several times at the 45km/h (30 miles/h), just enough to get the DRCC on, day and night, the vehicle failed to slow down in front of a slowing down vehicle (or a stopped vehicle). At times, the pre-collision warning beeps when the vehicle is at a close distance. I am suspecting that when DISPLAY button is pressed during Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is ON, DRCC fails to work as it should. Not every time, but several times.
I first experienced this at a highway moving at 100km (62 miles) and almost rear ended the vehicle in front if I didn't quicky changed the lane, and warning beep alerted.
I know I shouldn't rely on these technology and I do not, however, if this is a software issue, it should be corrected.
I've been trying to find out when exactly this issue would happen and record on my phone, but I couldn't. I was able to record one occasion on my cell phone, however, it was at night and the vehicle in front was actually a parked vehicle with the rear lights off. (although I think it should've still worked). I am still trying to come up with exact occasion for this issue and get it on video. (Speed/DRCC ON timing/AC/Lights/etc)
I'm trying to route the power cord for my radar detector and my garmin down through one of the stock tweeter placements. And I have a question as to whether the little grills are glued in or just there with a bracket.
In my 2005 camry, the grills over the tweeters were easily popped out because they had little clips and just clipped in. So i popped the grill up, found a suitable hole and dropped the power cables down and then placed the grill back on.
In my v6 2010 SE Camry, I started to pry a little on that same grill, and got the impression that they are actually glued in. I don't really wanna pop the seal on the glue all the way around just to get my cables down there.
I can't find any place to run my cables behind the dashboard. Pulling up the main center area that house's the clock in the '10? I could drop the power cables through there but I couldn't find any way to pop it or any instructions.
I have a 2010 VW Jetta that now displays "Err" when I turn on the cruise control toggle - It is an automatic and all the break lights work - How do I self diagnose and fix? Or is the something the tech wizards at VW will need to do? Not really looking forward to a expensive repair being that cruse control does not effect the car's performance.
View 7 RepliesI want to install antiradar and think to get power from cabin rear view mirror which has power for some switch I never use, do you think it's possible?
Other option will be to sneak power cable to the top of window, I don't want to use existing power too much exposure.
I have only a week ago returned from a 4300 mile odyssey with no problems, but yesterday while taking a turn in the country, my cruise control vanished! This is a Gen III, model IV, STANDARD cruise, and out of warranty, 43K. Stopped briefly to go into a shop and when I came out and started the car again......no cruise! No it wasn't in "B", all of us have had that happen to us at some point if we use B at all. It continues to be "non-functioning", and w/o any green pilot light on the dash display, or despite that no engagement,....I tried.
I figured it must have blown a fuse. The owners manual is quite good regards both the under hood and the under dash fuse boxes, telling you what each one is for, etc., but I can find none of these fuses with a code that I am even remotely confident is for the CC. Where is the fuse for the cruise control? Is it in another remote area? What is the "code" for it? Or if it is in one of these fuse panels, what # is it?
I have a 2004 Pruis. Lately I have been noticing a problem with the cruise control. Often when I press the button to turn on the CC it will not come on, but if I turn the steering wheel to the left a bit I am able to turn on the cruise, sometimes when I turn the wheel back it will continue to work and other times it will not. I tried to search and found others posts about prius CC but couldn't find anything that included all of my symptoms.
View 6 RepliesIf i am driving say for 15 mins on the highway at 65-75 mpg with a few brakes and accelerations in between due to other cars around, is it better to use the cruise control (i have adaptive cruise control on my prius v) and let the car figure out the throttle and braking or is it better to just drive by myself without using cruise control? i read about the different pulse-glide driving methods.
View 19 RepliesAs odd as it may sound, our Prius salesman told us we should not use the cruise control on our 2010 Prius II for the first 1500 miles. We could not find any such warning in the manual. Did we just misunderstand or was the salesman correct?
View 10 RepliesTwice now, while going downhill hill (steep grade on freeway) my Prius has revved up to over 4,000 RPMs with the cruise control set at approximately 65 mph. The noise of the engine was my tipoff and I immediately had to turn the cruise control off. This just doesn't make sense to me! Seems like this could be a potential problem for those of us utilizing cruise control!!!
View 15 RepliesAbout 2 months ago, I was driving and my cruise control wouldn't engage on the highway ... I happened to be right near the dealership so I immediately returned there .... didn't turn off the car, but the tech put it in P while I was waiting. I was so ticked off because I thought that may have 'reset' things, and of course when the tech took the car for a drive (in D) the cruise worked fine. We of course never confirmed that the cruise control didn't work.
Today, the same thing happened at the same place, so I returned to the dealership, calling them on the phone, and informing them that I would not turn the car off, or allow the car to be put in park. The service manager met me out front and we went for a quick ride so I could 'prove' that the cruise was inoperative. He confirmed that it was not working, and why. For some reason, I glanced at the dashboard and noticed that the car was in 'B' mode. I mentioned that to the manager and he noted it as well. I must have bumped it somehow while driving as I NEVER use B mode for anything ... ever. I said I wondered if that was the reason, and put it in D, and lo and behold, the cruise worked again.
I haven't checked the manual yet to see if this is stated there, but the cruise control is inoperative if the car is in B mode. Or at least it seems that that is the case. Other than the car being in B mode, it acted just like it always does, and since I was on the highway, I never noticed the braking effect that B mode gives you.
Are there any hacks to the "safety" feature which disables Lane Keep Assist in cruise control mode when you don't touch (i.e. turn) the steering wheel for 5-15 sec? Now that is a mod I'd really like more than a NAV override. That thing disabling on me on long stretches of straight highway after 15 sec is absolutely annoying, especially since it does this EVEN WITH my hands on the wheel. To be honest, many times it suddenly disabling on me ended up being more of an overall safety risk than its purpose intended. Also, the thing disables enough on its own due to not being able to sense the lanes where any additional safety almost makes the LKA option useless. The Infinity I owned had a much better LKA lane sensing camera than this Prius. But it can at least be improved a little if we could disable that annoying safety. How it senses that the wheel has turned and try to trick it with a pulse every few secs? Only Prius 5's are installed with LKA.
