Toyota Adaptive Cruise Control: What is it?

The Toyota automobiles’ adaptive cruise control operates by spotting other cars in its lane. Depending on how close you are to other vehicles, it might both speed up and slow down your car. If necessary, it can even automatically apply the brakes.

You must push the On/Off button to turn on the ACC. The stalk must then be turned on by accelerating to the desired speed. Press the stalk and keep it down to set the ACC to that speed; after that, you can let go of it. You can use the On/Off Button once more to turn off the ACC.

Toyota first used adaptive cruise control when?

  • 1992 saw the debut of Mitsubishi’s Debonair lidar-based distance detection system on the Japanese market. This technology, marketed as “distance warning,” alerts the driver without affecting the throttle, brakes, or gearshifts.
  • Laser “Preview Distance Control” was first offered by Mitsubishi Diamante in 1995. Instead of using the brakes to slow down, this technology controlled speed by adjusting the throttle and downshifting.
  • On the Japanese market Celsior, Toyota featured a “laser adaptive cruise control” (lidar) system. Instead of using the brakes to slow down, it used throttle control and downshifting.
  • In 1999, Mercedes-Benz launched “Distronic,” the company’s first radar-assisted ACC, to the CL-Class and S-Class models.
  • In 1999, Jaguar started selling the Jaguar XK with an ACC system based on radar (X100).
  • Nissan launched laser ACC in 1999 for the Nissan Cima in Japan.
  • Subaru debuted the first camera-based ACC in 1999 with the Subaru Legacy Lancaster for the Japanese market.
  • On the BMW 7 Series – E38 in 2000, BMW debuted radar “Active Cruise Control” in Europe.

  • In 2004, Toyota equipped the Crown Majesta’s radar ACC with a “low-speed tracking mode.” The low-speed speed monitoring mode was a second mode that could stop the car but would then deactivate; it would notify the driver and provide brakes if the automobile in front stopped.
  • 2005: The Acura RL model year 2006 in the United States had radar ACC coupled with a collision avoidance system (Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)).

  • On the Audi Q7, Audi implemented full speed range ACC + in 2006. In low-speed mode, it alerts the driver of potential collisions and becomes ready to brake suddenly if necessary. Bosch was the system’s supplier.
  • On the Nissan Fuga in 2006, Nissan debuted “Intelligent Cruise Control with Distance Control Assist.” As soon as the navigation system detects an unsafe speed, it presses the gas pedal against the foot. When using autonomous cruise control, the distance control assistance automatically reduced speed and sounded an audible bell to warn the driver.
  • Toyota debuted its “all-speed tracking function” for the Lexus LS 460 in September 2006. The radar-assisted technology maintained constant control at speeds between 0 and 100 km/h (0 and 62 mph), and it is made to function in stop-and-go conditions like backed-up interstate traffic.
