Page 426 This quick reference guide provides you with information on Dynamic Laser Cruise Control Vehicle–to–Vehicle Distance Control Mode. Prior to use of this system, you should be thoroughly familiar with this system, referring to “Dynamic Laser Cruise Control” in Section 3–1, Owner’s Manual in conjunction with this quick reference guide. r Dynamic Laser Cruise Control Operation The laser radar sensor in this system primarily detects the reflectors of the vehicle ahead of you to determine the presence of the vehicle and the vehicle–to–vehicle distance.
Page 427 r Operation Requirements Cruising from about 45 km/h (28 mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph) The wipers are not operating at all or operating intermittently (including the same wiper opera- tion in the “AUTO” position). The driving pattern selector switch is set in the power or normal position.
Page 428 r Cautions Y Do not rely too much on dynamic laser cruise control. Vehicle–to–vehicle distance control has its limitations. Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other vehicles. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance.
Page 429 r Cautions Y If other vehicles are driving outside of the laser radar detection range, a delay in the detection of the vehicle cutting in at short range or detection failure of the motorcycle running on the side of the same lane will occur. In this case, the dynamic laser cruise control system will not function properly.
Page 430: Warning Display
r Warning Display If dynamic laser cruise control cannot be used because of bad weather or malfunction of the system, the ”CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes, the master warning light comes on and a warning chime sounds, and a warning message will appear on the multi–information display.
Page 431: Operation Procedure
r Operation Procedure The operation procedure is shown as follows. For the detailed information, see Section 3–1 in the “Owner’s Manual”. Y Setting Push the main switch to turn on the system. The “CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument cluster comes on and “RADAR READY” appears on the multi–information display.
Page 432 r Operation Procedure Y Acceleration/Deceleration To accelerate: Depress the accelerator pedal. (When you release the accelerator pedal, follow–up cruising or fixed speed cruising resumes.) If there was no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will accelerate gradually to the preset speed. At this time, depressing the acceler- ator pedal or pressing the control lever upward and releasing it will accelerate quickly.
Page 433 r Operation Procedure Y To restore the previous control If the preset speed has been cancelled, when you press the lever upward in the ”RES/ACC” direction while “RADAR READY” shows up on the multi–information display and at a vehicle speed of about more than 40 km/h (25 mph), the speed set prior to cancellation will be restored.
Page 434 In addition to the vehicle–to–vehicle distance control mode described in this quick reference guide, dynamic laser cruise con- trol has conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode for cruising at fixed speeds. For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, see Section 3–1 in the “Owner’s Manual”.
