Lexus LS 2007+ :: Dynamic Radar 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.

Is the drcc on the 2013 full-speed range or is it partial speed range? (will it bring the car to a stop or does it only work above certain speeds?)

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.....

I brought my new 2016 ES350 last month and I love 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.
Lexus GS 2013+ :: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Fails To Slow Down The Vehicle
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)
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Radar Cruise Control Takes Over EV Screen
I'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.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 - Turn Radar Cruise On / Off
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 10 RepliesLexus RX 2010-15 :: Is Blind Spot Monitoring Standard - Heated Seats?
We're looking to buy a 2013 or 2014 RX350 and have a couple questions about equipment. Specifically, is blind spot monitoring standard equipment for either year 2013 or 2014 or is this an option?
If heated seats are listed as an option for an RX does this mean that "cooled" or Ventilated seats are automatically included for years 2013 or 2014? I ask because I've seen "heated" seats listed on Autotrader, but the controllers pictured include heated and cooled. Of the cars, we've looked at they only had both heated/cooled or nothing. We haven't seen heated only.
If the RX does NOT have heated seats, is the leather still perforated for 2013/2014 models or is it solid like previous years?
Subaru - Outback :: 2010 - Brake Warning / Traction Control / Cruise Control / Check Engine Light Came On?
My 2010 Subaru Outback recently surprised the hell out of me by simultaneously turning on the brake warning light, the traction control light, the check engine light and (just for a bonus!) disabled my cruise control while flashing the cruise control light. I pulled over, quickly surmising that all of those systems could not have failed at 70 MPH without instantaneous death to either me or the vehicle. Both apparently still being alive, I tried turning the car on an off to reset the lights. No go. Subaru was not going to miss this chance to get me to the dealership! (who I had avoided to this point!) As I was far away from home and the car being very healthy, it seemed, I decided to drive on. I proceeded to put a couple of hundred more miles on the car before I got back to town.
My car had 39,000 miles on it, 3,000 miles beyond the warranty end. I learned that I have an error code of P0171, "Fuel Trim Malfunction (Air/Fuel too lean)". So I guess I'm wondering about a few things...why would this sensor set off every light on my dashboard and disable my cruise control? Seems a bit overblown for running a bit lean. My gut tells me Subaru has a sensor/software problem they are not owning up to. I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories and this really smells like one...
Second, jeez, I'm only 3K miles over warranty, don't you think they'd cut me some slack. I mean I love my Subaru, or did anyway, until this happened. Now it's just another POS car that breaks for no apparent reason...

Ok, today on my way to work, I got up to speed and turned on the cruise control. It worked fine. I then stopped on my way to work to get a bottle of water. I got up to speed and went to hit Set. Nothing would happen. I ended up getting off at the next exit and turn off the car completely. Restarted the car and got back on the interstate. Got up to speed, turned on the cruise and hit Set. It worked. On my way home, no problems. It was just strange.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: Using Cruise Control For Better Mpg?
If 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 RepliesTouareg :: 2010 - Cruise Control Would Not Engage
I searched here, but could not find anything. My cruise control would not engage this morning. Worked fine yesterday on the way home. Of course the car just passed 30K Miles (now at 30,800) and will be out of warranty. I looked in the owners manual and could not find the number for the fuse and if it is in the right or left panel on the dash.
I will also check tonight when driving home if I can shift into gear w/o pushing the brake and if the green "push break pedal" indicator comes on or not when I try to shift into gear w/o pushing the break pedal. I read on this forum that this could indicate a fault in one of the switches at the brake pedal.
BTW, it's a 2010 Touareg with the 3.6L V6 and 30,800 Miles on it. So, what fuse to check??
