Toyota Safety Sense ™ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Settings and Controls | Toyota

[@shivanarayanan7209]

I have been using this feature to work commute every day on my 2019 RAV4 Hybrid, have found some issues of consistency. The issues are that when you are in a moderately crowded road if the car ahead of you speeds and stops at a light, DRCC fails to sense the stationery car at the lights, you either brake hard or turn off the DRCC and apply breaks - don't rely on the system to break on its own. This is all more significant when there are no illuminated brake lights from the car ahead of you. DRCC also turns off or fails to sense the traffic ahead of you in curvy roads, DRCC fails randomly and comes with an error 'connection with radar comms is lost' and turns of DRCC, The camera for collision control struggles on curvy roads and send you wrong signals of collision even though there are no vehicles ahead of you. I took the car back to service twice with my service center claiming no issues with the system. I'll keep updating my comments here to see how do I progress on resolving this issue.

@@ib12541 You just responded to one case of the many - I have listed several issues that I found with the system in my comment if the answer is not to use in any of these circumstances - what's the point of the feature?

[@shivanarayanan7209]

@@ib12541 Yes Sir, I read the owner's handbook and had several conversations with the 'experts' at Toyota service too, as sold, it simply isn't a stable system - it needs more testing and possibly some software upgrades. In my experience, it failed in freeways too.

My Corolla 2019 has this and I love it. Although it's a manual transmission so its not quite as useful as it would be with an auto. Still really useful as long as you aren't in traffic.

[@jahangirshaikh7233]

Does 2013 Toyota Venza AWD V6 has this feature?

[@kcryeung1]

While the electronics doing the chores, will the break lights come on when the car is suddenly slowing down ???

[@larrywhited3070]

Just cruising through some of these older comments. You may never see this, but you asked a VERY important question, even if the thousand page manuals address this somewhere within. This issue needs to be understood by every driver. Joseph Silberstein provided the simple but very important answer.

[@BruceWayne-bk6ne]

Does this automatically slow down if it enses a car in front of it?

[@LifeInZadar]

Yes, it does. It should even come to a stop. However, please be aware that this system has issues in heavy rain, sleet and snow (ie, it may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead of you) and if a vehicle drives across your path, perpendicular to you or just changing lanes, it may slow your vehicle down quickly, so be prepared to accelerate if there is a car driving close up on you.

[@fordwindsor351]

I have a love hate deal over this DRCC, there are some fixing that needs to be done but as the system is now, it works well for most people.

[@mikeshr4932]

Terrible system. Love my Toyota except when it tries to put me back in the lane I want out of. Also dangerous when you are in a tight situation and it puts the brakes on when you are trying to speed up.

[@DaphneOrtiz]

Excellent video explaining both systems… does anybody know if prius will have alternate controls like the one on the right? They are much more modern and easier. Turning from a Corolla Hatchback to a prius and seeing the model is antique in the prius is a turn off.

[@larrywhited3070]

The automatic system that sets following distances is great when the roads are icy. Nothing like an invigorating crash into someone's rear end on icy roads when the following distance should have been 2 or 3 times greater than the pre-determined distances. I find it exciting to be on the highway when the roads are icy--you never know who in a Toyota behind you is going to crash into you if you have to slow down even somewhat rapidly.

[@Holms]

I still don’t get it, can you set the speed and release the damn pedal like it’s happening in Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G? Why I have to keep my foot on the pedal all the time??

[@hugh7840]

I have a 2016 Rav 4 and the dynamic cruise control is NOT helpful in slow and go traffic on HWY. Once speed drops below 28mph, dynamic cruise control ceases to work and you have to reset it. Another family member has the 2021 Prius Prime and the dynamic cruise control still works at crawling speeds and even a brief stop. Why can't there be a firmware update to may the 2016 Rav 4 the same as the 2021 Prius Prime?

[@toyotausa]

Hi, Hugh. We know how important your RAV 4 is to you. Our first recommendation is always to have your vehicle inspected at a Toyota dealership, as their technicians are our experts. They can also check for available software updates for you. To locate the closest dealer to you, please visit www.toyota.com/dealers/.

[@terrydelahunt842]

Is the radar/camera in the badge on the grill rather than behind the mirror like in other makes? The steering wheel controls are so much better than the stalk, stalk should be completely done away with for this feature.

[@mikeshr4932]

You are going about 70 mph, you are in the right lane, a slow truck is ahead . you have just enough space to squez in ., you speed up , as you get close to the truck the car starts putting the brakes on for you. You have to accelerate while the car is putting on the brakes..

[@doublesatisfaction6566]

This system only works well with lazy driving on highways.

[@dphilipson]

Thanks for not explaining wtf DRCC actually does when a driver in front of you slams their brakes! Guess i'll have to figure this out in rush hour now. thanks toyota!

[@MrCpfans4]

Mine keeps saying radar cruise unavailable. Dealership says it doesn't work below 32 degrees I waited and it still didn't work next day temp over 40. Any ideas why,.

[@LifeInZadar]

Hmm... I drove in sleeting snow over the holidays and my system was trying to work, but failed to detect the vehicle ahead of me. There was no indication that the radar cruise was unavailable, it just could not detect anything ahead of me because of the snow. On a coldish day, try taking the technician out for a spin and follow behind another vehicle to show them.

[@johngilmour9767]

DRCC is a fantastic feature which does make driving easier & safer. It does have one quite annoying feature & that is the overspeed warning when the car exceeds the set speed by even a small amount. this will activate when going downhill. Is it possible either to deactivate this feature or to increase the speed at which it does activate?

[@darrinedwards2085]

[@LapsedMemory]

What technology does this use? I rented a Corolla with this function, and during a sudden rain downpour, it completely lost track of the car in front of me. It started accelerating to my set speed and tried to ram me into the back of the car in front. Thankfully I caught it in time, but I'm interested to know how the rain affected the sensor feedback.

[@joestewart8914]

The system cannot see through heavy rain and/or snow. You will see a warning on the dash when the system loses the ability to see. Once the rain or snow stops the dash warning will disappear and your system will see again. Your car's system malfunctioned. Automatic operations are to cease in a system that is operating properly. To avoid this in the future disengage all automatic systems immediately if visibility is poor. You are responsible if a collision occurs.

[@aneef]

Actually Cruise Control should never be engaged while its raining. It will cause the car to do Aqua-Planing (Hydro-planing) and the tyres would keep on increasing speed without keeping it within a limit. Read about Aqua-Planing to understand more.

Ehhh not a fan of it. Just keep a safe distance on your own. No need to rely on AI. I prefer to be in full control. Also, what if someone cuts you off? Can you really rely on this feature to immediately brake/readjust? No thanks.

[@AsianTankPilot]

Previously, I would have agreed with you, but I tried a car that had this. Set it at +5 MPH on Hwy, so going about 75 MPH…. In the cars in front me, one driver cut off another, so the offended driver pulled in front of them and slammed the brakes at 75 MPH. I saw all of this occurring and was ready to hit the brake, but the automated system reacted faster than I could and safely slowed me down before any accidents could occur. After that experience, I decided that my next car would have a similar system.

[@cyril113]

You need to press 2 buttons to activate it. Why would someone design it that way?

[@larrywhited3070]

Because tech-oriented people like to justify their existence by making things "creative".

[@longlivethefish]

Yeah... It would slow down also will break till the point it will automatically stop for you... You don't wanna be in a curve and have the cruise control on... It'll stop on you! This is soooo dangerous! It almost cause me 2 accidents! I love my crew cab Yoda... I don't wanna give it up... By I might just have to🤦‍♂️

I think he means setting the exact distance by feet between vehicles....short medium long doesnt tell you what the distance is persay.....is long say 400ft between you and the car in front?? Who knows- it doesnt tell you- it only says short medium or long....

[@MegaKagato]

It judges based off of your current speed and the rate at which you are approaching the identified object/vehicle. So, it's a relative setting.
