Tips &Tricks 23 Speed limiter and radar cruise control

Speed limiter and radar cruise control

[johnkeepin]

Another good demonstration! I’ve not used the ‘speed limit’ setting so far, but often use the Assisted Cruise Control (ACC) option. It is also possible to switch it off temporarily by using the ‘Cancel’ button to the right. Often done on approach to a speed limit to let it slow down to about the right value.

I always have it set to “3 bars” - it’s about 50m at 80 km/h (roughly in line with the HoC guidelines). Not sure of the exact sums it does at higher speeds, but it’s roughly in line with the occasional “2 chevron” marks on certain motorways. So far, I’ve not had any real problems with it slowing down unwantedly with something cutting in front.

The other point to note is that if you change lane to pass something at a lower speed than your setting, it automatically accelerates when there is a large enough gap in front.

It looks as if the limit setting (not the ACC) is mainly aimed at urban areas, but it could be awkward if it is set too low if a quick move is needed. Depends on the situation.

Overall, I’m pleased with it, in tandem with the lane keep assist gadget. A useful pair of tools for certain trips.

Instead of clicking up one by one, hold up or down and will go faster to speed want to go at.

I was also so amazed to find the radar cruise would actually brake to a stop if necessary.. Had some fun through town the other day, cruise set at 30 and it just crawled along braking and accelerating in the queuing traffic, without any input from me.. Good fun but spooky. 😊

Thank you. Learned so much from your informative video demonstrations. Just got a Yaris Cross and still familiarising myself with all the features. Coming from a 2016 1litre Hyundai, the Yaris resembles a spaceship with all the gadgets available. I found this quite overwhelming until I watched your content. All the best.

I don't know if my 2024 model is a bit different but with the limiter if you hold the adjust rocker for just a couple of seconds it will jump in 5mph increments thereby saving you a lot of button pressing. Thanks for video

Thanks great tips 👍, I'm just getting to know my mazda, I'm realising there is a lot to learn with the modern cars today, many thanks for your time n effort .Big Thanks j

[markbonn]

WOW ~ What a super simple explanation & demonstration of both functions, many thanks..

[amicertain]

Thank goodness I found your demo. Very clear and now I know why I accidentally set the speed limiter instead of the cruise control on my new 2024 Yaris. Potentially dangerous. Why do Toyota have it on the same rocker switch? It should NOT be possible to set the limiter whilst still moving - must try it out now that I know how to cancel it.

Thank you for this mate bought Corolla GR sport today and the cruise baffled me this helped loads

[hughiejohnmorris]

Thanks Paul, very much appreciated. Clever stuff for sure. I actually had a test drive in a new Yaris back in October last year, unbelievable how cars keep advancing 👍

[geoffreywood-eqlv]

As a bit of a technophobe your videos are so helpful. Thanks.

[golfatha]

Brilliant video very informative and straight forward to follow love ur videos

[neonlake]

you can keep your fingers pressed up/down and this then goes up in 5mph which is bit quicker if needing.

Cheers matey new subscription added toyou as I love yaris hybrid cars just crashed my gr sport so bought a regular hybrid what a difference in smoothness love it even more now I understand some of the buttons*still a newbie driverolder guy*

[linuxarvind]

Great video Sir, thank you for sharing.

On my 2024 Yaris Icon, the following distance is now on the rocker switch.

Think the satellite adaptive cruise control is my favourite feature on the Yaris. ‘Full-on Audi’ lol … you’re not wrong … whenever four circles appear in my rearview I always know there’s gonna be trouble 😂

[Slievedonard]

Brilliant video, thank you. I’ve been puzzling over how to operate the speed limiter and adjust it as the speed limit changes and finally I understand, so I can give it a go. Do you just press cancel to turn it off?

[devon]

I've just picked up a new 2024 Yaris Cross Hybrid, here in Australia... Thanks for sharing your knowledge of how the systems work.
One question, does your traction battery flow indicator ever show full bars? So far mine has only reached four to five bars. 🙂👍

Really useful video thanks. Not sure about holding a camera! Be careful.
