Any way to disable Adaptive Cruise Control?

toyota adaptive cruise control turn off

  • Add to quote

My '15 Platinum has Adaptive Cruise Control, and it's just the worst. Heavy on the brakes, heavy on the gas, braking too late, beeping/warning siren on light braking, etc. Is there any way to disable it? I glanced at the fuse diagram and didn't see a dedicated fuse for it. Bonus points for making the normal mode the default. --Chris N.

I too looked into this when I first got my Sequoia, out of curiosity. Based on other Toyota vehicles, there is no way to change the default to normal cruise. The adaptive cruise will always remain the default. I agree with you and personally do not like using the adaptive cruise system either, but the 2-3 seconds it takes to select the normal mode is more than acceptable by my standards so I just ultimately let it go. That isn't to say there ultimately is not a way to do it, but by the limited research I did, I was not able to find anywhere that any Toyota/Lexus owner did this successfully.  

I never drive with adaptive on. I'm like you...I hate it. It's worthless. I always turn on my cruise and disable it.

I have a '14 Highlander Limited and "it" says if I hold the "On" button for 2-3 seconds it will switch from Adaptive to "normal" cruise but when I hold the "On" button in it just stays in the Adaptive mode forEVER. Any clue what I'm missing?  

@03bluecoupe I've found that if you push ANY buttons while in Adaptive mode, the only way to switch to Normal mode is to turn the entire system off, then turn it back on and immediately switch to Adaptive. It's a bit finicky. Very annoying. --Chris N.  

Personal experience says unfortunately no- The adaptive cruise is programmed into the ECM, TCM, and ABS modules. I installed an aftermarket front bumper and attempted to leave the radar off, ended up getting a whole dash of error lights. Ended up having to hide the radar within my bumper just to keep it plugged in and all the lights off.

Can You Turn off Adaptive Cruise Control Toyota?

Can You Turn Off Adaptive Cruise Control Toyota

Yes, you can turn off adaptive cruise control in a Toyota vehicle. Adaptive cruise control is a helpful feature that allows drivers to maintain a set speed while automatically adjusting to the flow of traffic.

Understanding Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive cruise control is a revolutionary feature available in Toyota vehicles that adds convenience and safety to your driving experience. But what exactly is adaptive cruise control? Essentially, it is an advanced technology that automatically adjusts your cruising speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

With this feature, you can set a desired speed and let the system do the work, ensuring you stay at a safe following distance.

The benefits of adaptive cruise control are aplenty. Not only does it reduce the stress of constantly adjusting your speed, but it also enhances safety by mitigating the risk of rear-end collisions. By maintaining a safe distance, adaptive cruise control helps you respond effectively to changes in traffic flow.

Wondering how exactly this feature operates? Adaptive cruise control utilizes sensors and radar systems to detect the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. It then automatically adjusts your speed by accelerating or braking to maintain the preset distance. This technology is designed to provide a smooth and seamless driving experience.

Toyota vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control boast various features to enhance your driving experience. Depending on the model, these can include lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking, among others. These additional features work in conjunction with adaptive cruise control to create a comprehensive safety package.

Turning Off Adaptive Cruise Control In Toyota

In emergency situations where you need to override the adaptive cruise control, following these steps can help:

  • Quickly press and hold the “CANCEL” button on the steering wheel.
  • Alternatively, you can firmly press the brake pedal to disengage the system.

Remember to consult your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions related to the adaptive cruise control feature in your Toyota model.

Safety Considerations And Limitations

When driving a Toyota vehicle equipped with adaptive cruise control, it is important to be aware of its safety considerations and limitations. The system is designed to enhance driving convenience and safety, but it is not a substitute for driver attentiveness.

While adaptive cruise control can automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, there are certain situations where it may not function effectively. These situations include inclement weather, heavy traffic, and winding roads. It is crucial to always be aware of the road conditions and take control of the vehicle when necessary.

To use adaptive cruise control safely in Toyota vehicles, it is recommended to keep your eyes on the road, hands on the steering wheel, and remain prepared to take over control at any moment. Remember to follow all traffic rules and regulations, and adjust the adaptive cruise control settings as needed to ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.

Radar Controlled Cruise Control question

toyota adaptive cruise control turn off

This is my first vehicle with RCCC. I noticed on a trip over the past two days that if someone merges in front of me or if I'm in a turn and a car is slightly ahead of in the adjacent lane, that the system executes a pretty aggressive slow-down on the 4Runner. My question is, when this happens, do my brake lights come on? The reason I ask is that the action is very much like me hitting the brakes pretty darned hard, and if I was behind me, I would want to see brake lights when that happens. Any one able to confirm if they DO or DON'T activate when this happens? If the do not, I can foresee some issues down the road.

#2 LandCruiser I have Toyotas

If the truck applies the brakes, yes. If it uses engine compression by downshifting no. From what you said, sounds like it applies the brakes. Also, the behavior you’re describing is what happens when a heavy, primitive vehicle is given new technology it was never designed for.

#3 Chucklehead Enjoy the ride! You only get one trip

Something else with this system I wasnt aware of until i got to that part of the manual is the distance the radar reads and adjusts your speed is adjustable—- basically car lengths. The default is what seems like a football field length which is so far it invites people to cut in front of you. to answer your question though- yeah if the vehicle auto brakes the brake lights also auto illuminate…

We have this on our Rav4 Prime, and I can say it acts the same way, annoys me, but helps keep the speedo in a reasonable place.

yeah i find that it can be too aggressive at times...ive had similar tech in Audi and BMW vehicles that was more "intelligent" and less aggressive unless it really deemed the need to in case of crash at high speeds etc... at the end of the day it is nice to have on the 4runner and definitely appreciate it on long highway drives where i don't always have to tap the brakes or cancel the cruise control constantly ..

You can also turn it off and use normal cruise control if you like. Just push and hold the cruise control ON button until message that the radar is turned off shows up on information display.

So, depress the button on the stick until I get a dash display?

When the radar cruise slows you down, does it resume speed automatically when the distance to the vehicle in front of you increases? No such newfangledness on my 4R, so I'm just curious...

Yeah hammers it no doubt. Very little tolerance for deviation above or below set speed. So a big part of my daily drive to work is a nearly flat stretch about 30 miles long with no stoplights. 1/2 is 60mph and 1/2 is 55mph. Ive been experiment using cruise and driving manually. I’m finding cruise is about 2mpg worse than driving manually. Anybody else see this with using cruise?

Ditto. I don't think cruise increases gas mileage if your normal manual driving technique isn't weird. In fact, I'm not surprised that it reduces it. I would like to see a controlled test of using Radar Cruise, vs Non-Radar Cruise, vs Manual and see if there's a difference between the 3. One other point... I was driving in Northern NJ the other day during a snowstorm, and got a dash-light and message saying that my collision avoidance system was unable to work due to the "sensor needs cleaning". During this, I also could not engage Cruise control at all. I pulled over and found a layer of snow-slush-salt on my sensor on the grille. Wiped it off and the fault cleared. I wish I had known about holding the button down to use "normal" cruise... to see it it would bypass the fault.

How to use Adaptive Cruise Control on Toyota Sienna

With some minor differences, operating the available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system is very similar to conventional cruise control. However, when the system detects slower traffic ahead, it will slow the Sienna automatically to match their speed and maintain a preset distance.

toyota adaptive cruise control turn off

You can change that distance using a button on the steering wheel. When activated, the system defaults to the long setting. A display in the instrument cluster indicates which distance has been selected. Pressing the button repeatedly allows you to cycle through the three distances available.

The driver can disable the distance holding feature by pressing and holding the cruise control stalk forward for at least two seconds. The Ready Indicator and distance graphic will disappear in the instrument cluster.

Auto cancel below 25 mph

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control feature will be automatically canceled when the vehicle falls below 25 miles per hour, Vehicle Stability Control, or VSC, is activated, the sensor is covered or blocked, the brake is applied, or the windshield wipers are running continuously.

Hey y'all Is there a way to disable the adaptive cruise control feature without having to shut off the cruise control completely? The adaptive seems to over-compensate when trying to get back up to the set speed after a slow down which spikes the RPMs up to 4 or 5k. Both my gas mileage and I are tired of it

hold down the cruise control button and you will activate constant speed cruise which is the traditional cruise control function w/o the distance keeping and etc.

Give it some time and you may get used to it. I hated it for a few weeks until I got the hang of it. Otherwise you can turn it off by holding the cruise on button for a few seconds instead of clicking it on like usual.

you can turn the adaptive portion of the cruise off and have standard "regular cruise" but, and this is a BIG BUT, you will still have the over shifting issues, and huge rpm swings, for what appear as no reason. the cruise is too sensitive to mph loss, and the 6 speed transmission with the 2 overdrive gears just constantly hunts to be "in the correct gear", for the power requested by the throttle position. some think the tunes are the answer but, again... it is the too sensitive cruise that is the major factor here. tunes will help but, will not eliminate over sensitive shifting. this is the only thing that drives me nuts, about this truck, platform. yes, I have a KDmax tune in mine.

The following distance adjustment also appears to have impact when it resumes the set speed. Shorter following distance seems to have a more aggressive acceleration when resuming your set speed. I also have a Subaru with their Eyesight system. They have a setting where you can adjust the level of acceleration from sleepy to scary.

I'm lazy so I use cruise almost all the time. It does use more fuel though. 1 other dislike is on a sharp turn when the cruise sees another car and brakes hard. But like I said I still use cruise.

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Blows Away Every Truck In Its Segment

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Blows Away Every Truck In Its Segment

There was a moment where, with all four wheels of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma hybrid hovering through the air, I felt firmly invincible. I was jumping a pickup truck , after all — if I could do that, then by god, I could do anything. With all of its off-road capabilities, the new Taco hybrid is exactly the kind of vehicle that can let you dream big, then hit the trail and actually see those dreams become a reality.

If you’re a pickup truck fan, you know that Toyota introduced a full redesign of the trusty Tacoma for the 2024 model year, and it came with a new body-on-frame TNGA-F platform, stunning bodywork, top-of-the-line features, tons of trim options, and a whole slew of trim and powertrain options to choose from. Earlier in April, I had a chance to test each of the hybrid-powered trims (with the exception of the TRD Sport) before they make their way to their designated truck-buying audience, with each trim being paired to a set of conditions that best suited it. Here’s what I learned.

Full disclosure: Toyota invited me to Coronado Island in San Diego, California for an all-out trip test driving four new or refreshed Toyota models in just two days. It was an impressive display of event organization, though I think I was most taken by the ducklings and flamingos living in the pond outside the hotel. Toyota provided its full slate of hybrid pickups for us to try throughout the weekend.

Interior of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma hybrid Limited

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Sport

While I didn’t have a chance to test drive the TRD Sport trim, this does give me an excellent opportunity to note the features that come standard on the Tacoma’s hybrid trims:

  • Toyota’s i-Force Max hybrid powertrain, which pairs a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-4 engine with a 48-hp electric motor
  • 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque (a 75-percent boost in torque compared to the V6 in the Taco’s previous generation)
  • 8-speed automatic transmission
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Part-time 4WD with a two-speed transfer case
  • Active traction control
  • Hill-start assist control
  • Drive modes including Normal, Eco, and Sport; and Tow/Haul settings
  • Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 driver-assist stuite

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Off-Road

Toyota had us take the TRD Off-Road trim out on a course it called the “playground,” which lived up to its name. This was a fairly straightforward off-road loop that featured massive elevation changes, sharp turns, and some simple rocky outcrops to offer a sense of what’s possible for even the more base trims of these hybrid trucks. In addition to the features listed above, you can opt for an available front stabilizer disconnect mechanism that offers an impressive amount of suspension articulation, as well as an electronically locking rear differential, monotube Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and an end stop control valve to increase damping force.

I was impressed with the hybrid TRD Off-Road and its performance on the playground loop. This is a well-rounded can-do trim that’s got just enough of the good stuff to make it a really great vehicle for folks like me, who live in rural Texas. It’s a great truck for running to the grocery store, but it can also capably handle the tight, rutted, one-lane rural roads that make up the region I live in. For what it’s worth, this is also the Tacoma trim I’ve seen most in the driveways of the ranchers near my house — and if the previous generation V6 has left that much of an impression, I’m sure the even more powerful turbo hybrid will further define the Tacoma’s legacy as a no-nonsense, capable truck.

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Limited

If you want a nice road-going truck that can also capably hit the trail when you get the occasional off-road itch, then you’ll best benefit from the Limited trim. I had a chance to drive this trim a few times, since it regularly ended up as my shuttle from Coronado Island to Vogt Ranch.

Since this isn’t an off-road–specific trim, the Limited is a little different than the other models on this list. It’s a premium vehicle with full-time four-wheel drive, an electronic locking center differential, adaptive variable suspension that continually adjusts to road conditions, and additional drive Sport S+ and Comfort drive modes, along with a Custom drive mode that owners can curate themselves. Inside, you get heated and ventilated synthetic leather seats, a head-up display, walnut-look accents, a 14-inch touchscreen, a premium JBL sound system, a digital rearview mirror and a power moonroof.

The Limited was a great on-road machine. There’s a little bit of turbo whine that makes its way into the cabin, but I’m pretty certain the only reason I focused on that sound is because everything else felt easy. As a mid-size pickup, the Tacoma doesn’t feel too big to serve as a comfortable highway driver. It also boasts responsive handling, rapid get-up-and-go acceleration, and enough visibility that it made both congested San Diego traffic and sharp mountain turns feel equally comfortable.

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Trailhunter

A JBL-sponsored 2024 Toyota Tacoma hybrid with the Trailhunter trim and fully loaded with options

If you’re looking for a from-the-factory overlanding rig, Toyota will have just the right option to meet your needs. Newly created for this new generation, the Trailhunter model is the one Taco trim that’s only available on the hybrid models. It’s wholly designed with long-distance off-road trips in mind, which means it includes standard Old Man Emu monotube shocks, a low-profile high-mount air intake, 33-inch Goodyear Territory Rugged-Terrain tires with 18-inch bronze-finish alloy wheels, and tons of neat aesthetic features like Toyota’s bronze heritage-inspired grille.

Also standard are features like part-time four-wheel drive, an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case, and a front stabilizer disconnect mechanism, all of which are designed to make your ride as capable as it is comfortable. You can select different terrain options in both 4WD-High and 4WD-Low, and you can use Crawl Control to serve as your off-road version of cruise control.

These capabilities alone are fantastic. We had a chance to take the Trailhunter out for a slow cruise around a very technical off-road loop that featured steep inclines, sharp rocks and river fording, where the trim proved itself as an immensely adept off-roader. But I have to give a special shout-out to the Multi-Terrain monitor, which shows you multiple camera angles all around the exterior of the truck to help you best position the truck for oncoming obstacles. There’s one key difference in this Multi-Terrain Monitor when compared to the one in the Land Cruiser : In the Tacoma, it features shadows of your tires.

In the Land Cruiser, the additional camera views displayed on the infotainment screen were really helpful, but I also felt that it’d take me a while to get used to the dimensions of the vehicle as translated on a wide-lens camera shot of the path in front of me. The Tacoma eliminates that learning process entirely by simply featuring two black shadows designed to represent your tires, which gives you an immediate sense of where your truck is aiming and what you might run into. That’s a huge benefit for folks who aren’t super familiar with the whole off-roading thing, or for those of us who are often too short to peer around the bodywork of a big ol’ truck.

Toyota refers to both the Trailhunter and the TRD Pro trims as “halo” trims, which means they’re both designed to sit at the very top of the Tacoma lineup. However, they’re designed to serve more specific needs. The TRD Pro trim is inspired by high-speed Baja racing, which prioritizes a lightweight machine that’s well suited for rapid jaunts across the desert. It’s not perfectly suited for the slower pace of overlanding, which often also involves a truck weighed down with supplies. As the overlanding trend continues to grow, Toyota decided that it needed a trim like the Trailhunter to help cater to that specific market — and it’s a winner.

2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Pro

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid architecture

For a capable truck that can do just about anything — including launching through the air — then you need to look at the TRD Pro trim. This is the top-of-the-line offering for the Taco hybrid, and the hybrid powertrain is standard here (though you can opt for a purely combustion engine if you choose). You’re getting a ton of great off-road tech, but there’s one component I want to highlight: the front seats.

For this trim, Toyota is introducing standard IsoDynamic Performance Front Seats — that is to say, seats that have a built-in air-over-oil shock absorber system. These seats are designed to reduce all that jostling around you do when you’re bumping along the trail, and they absolutely rip.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid TRD Pro IsoDynamic front seats

Let me illustrate the capabilities of those seats with a story. One of the TRD Pro models at Toyota’s test day had an IsoDynamic seat for the driver, but not for the passenger. During his first few laps of the high-speed test course, stunt-driver-turned-off-road-Toyota-instructor Art Haynie told me he had the misfortune of riding shotgun in one of those standard seats — but he didn’t know it. When it came time for him to drive, he joked with me that he thought he must have been a way better driver than the guy who took him out for those initial laps, since the ride was so much smoother. It wasn’t until later that he learned it was a seat issue, not a skills issue.

I haven’t done a ton of high-speed off-roading, but I’ve done just enough that I have a healthy, slightly terrified respect for the discipline. It takes a lot of effort to maintain high speeds over bumpy terrain when you’re being rattled around in your seat, but after jumping the Tacoma TRD Pro, careening it through a banked turn, and flying through hairpins, I was pretty damn confident that I could win the Baja 1000 tomorrow — as long as I was driving a Tacoma TRD Pro. Even relative novices like myself can master the finer points of high-speed off-roading with those damn seats.

Also specific for the TRD Pro are other standard off-road upgrades like FOX QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs that have been specially tuned for the Tacoma, a performance air intake, and 33-inch Goodyear Territory Rugged-Terrain tires with 18-inch black alloy wheels. On the looks side of things, you can opt for a TRD Pro–specific paint shade, as well as two-tone paint. You’ll have a ground clearance of 11.5 inches, along with 35.7-degree approach, 24.6-degree breakover and 22.6-degree departure angles, which are specific to this trim.

Let’s Talk About Mid-Size Pickups

I’ll be entirely honest — I can’t think of a more impressive mid-size pickup on the market than the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, and these hybrid powertrain options make an already-great machine even better. The updated Tacoma feels truly generational thanks to its wholesale improvements in everything from aesthetics to suspension, while the hybrid options provide a big boost in power. Toyota offers more trims and a more diverse array of powertrains than its competitors in the mid-size truck market, and this new Tacoma generation will force other automakers to reevaluate just what makes a good truck.

Not Ready For The Hybrid Revolution?

Toyota is well aware that the jump to electrification might not appeal to all of its loyal customers, which is why you can still nab a full slate of trims powered by its turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-4, untouched by the addition of a battery and electric motor as an integral part of the powertrain. In that configuration, you’ll have access to cheaper, more base-level trims, like the SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner. Unless your purchase is primarily dictated by cost, though, I think prospective Taco buyers will likely appreciate the boost in capability offered by the more advanced hybrid trims.

Other trims, like the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road and Limited all come with the option for the standard four-cylinder or the turbo hybrid, but you’re looking at a decrease in power if you go for conventional combustion. With non-hybrid power, you’ll max out at 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque on your Taco; bump up to the hybrid, and you’re looking at 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. If you want the all-new Trailhunter trim, though, your only option is the hybrid powertrain.

Full pricing for the Tacoma Hybrid trims haven’t been released yet, but Toyota did tell us that the MSRP for the base-level hybrid TRD Sport trim should start just under $48,000, including handling fees. Expect the ultra-capable TRD Pro to start somewhere in the mid- to high-$60,000 range.

Toyota Camry Goes Exclusively Hybrid Plus a New Look and More Technology

Toyota Camry Goes Exclusively Hybrid Plus a New Look and More Technology

  • Exclusively Equipped with 5th Generation Toyota Hybrid System available in FWD and AWD
  • Camry AWD Models rated up to 232 Net-Combined Horsepower
  • Re-Engineered Suspension and Braking System for Balanced Handling and Comfort
  • Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Alert Along with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Standard  
  • Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Pricing Starting Under $29,000*

PLANO, Texas (April 18, 2024) – The Toyota Camry has dominated the best-selling sedan category for 22 years in the U.S. due to its striking good looks, quality, and dependability. The new 2025 Toyota Camry continues to build on that success by going exclusively hybrid and combining an athletic exterior style, a new interior design and impressive technology features.

Industry-leading hybrid technology has become synonymous with the Toyota brand and the ninth-generation Camry brings its A-game. The 2025 Toyota Camry pairs the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine and has a standard 225 net-combined horsepower on Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and 232 HP on Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) equipped models. The Toyota Camry also has great fuel efficiency with a manufacturer-estimated combined 51 MPG rating on the LE FWD grade.

The Toyota Camry, for the first time on a hybrid, offers available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) across all four grades: LE, SE, XLE and XSE. With a dedicated rear electric motor, the AWD system supplies power to the rear wheels for additional traction when needed, either in adverse weather conditions, accelerating from a stop or during dynamic driving around curves.

The 2025 Toyota Camrys are expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships in late spring 2024 with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,400* – over $400 less than the outgoing Camry Hybrid base grade and includes more standard features.

*MSRP Excludes Dealer Processing and Handling fee of $1,095. All prices are subject to change.

100 Percent Hybrid, No Compromise The 2025 Toyota Camry pairs the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine and has a standard 225 net-combined horsepower on Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). Not only is this the most standard horsepower offered on a Camry, but it also features outstanding fuel efficiency with a manufacturer-estimated 51 MPG combined on the LE FWD. The system uses lighter and more compact electric motor generators to produce more power and enhanced performance compared to the previous system.

Toyota engineers tuned the new THS 5 system to provide a more natural acceleration feel that is synchronized with the increase in engine speed. This was achieved by increasing the amount of power from the Lithium-Ion traction battery through the electric motor generator to suppress high increases in engine revolutions during acceleration.

Camry also has an electronically controlled Continuous Variable Transmission ( eCVT ) that intelligently finds the right gear ratio for t he amount of throttle input – promoting optimal fuel efficiency.  

Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive Across All Grades For added peace of mind, Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is available across all grades. It has been adapted to work seamlessly with THS 5 and utilizes an electric motor generator on the rear axle resulting in 232 net-combined horsepower – 30 more horsepower than the outgoing model with a mechanical All-Wheel Drive.

The system provides precise on-demand front-rear torque distribution in accordance with driving conditions to support start-off acceleration, handling and stability in everyday driving situations. If the system deems the roads as slippery or it senses loss of tire grip, the distribution of torque to the rear wheels is then controlled to deliver ample traction performance to help keep the Camry on the desired path further helping to promote driver confidence.

Balanced Handling and Comfort Drivers will enjoy the retuned suspension with enhanced responsiveness and agile handling, adding a sense of thrill when taking on those twisting and turning roads. All models feature an optimally tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The SE and XSE grades have a specific sport-tuned suspension with new shock absorbers in the front and rear including a larger diameter front stabilizer bar for increased comfort, while still providing even greater stability, handling, and confidence behind the wheel.

Further control is provided by an enhanced brake feel from the newly adopted braking system. The Electronically Controlled Braking system (ECB) features on-demand pressurization provided through a new pump motor in the brake actuator enabling greater controllability and brake feel.

Drivers can also customize their Camry’s drive feel to suit their specific tastes with standard selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving modes.

Sleek Silhouette The ninth-generation Camry, designed by CALTY’s Newport Beach, California and Ann Arbor, Michigan studios, delivers a sleeker, more athletic look to the new sedan. The distinctive hammerhead front face adds a fresh and modern design that has become a Toyota signature. All grades feature LED headlights and daytime running lights.

On the comfort grades customers will be greeted with a refined style featuring a horizontal bar front grille in black on LE or finished in dark metallic grey on the XLE. LE now comes standard with 16-in. Alloy wheel while the XLE comes standard with 18-in. Black and machine-finished alloy wheels. XLE further stands out from the lineup with chrome-finished window trim accompanying the chrome-finished Camry name badge found on both comfort grades.

The SE and XSE grades add aggressive sporty flare to the Camry lineup with sport-mesh front grilles, side sport rockers and black finishes that add to the sleek roofline and chiseled body. Functional front side air ducts, canards, rear spoiler and rear diffuser add to the racing inspired design helping aerodynamic performance. The rear also has an exposed dual-tip exhaust further showcasing a sporty impression. The Camry name badge is styled in gloss black on both sport grades, while the XSE’s badge is backed by a unique blacked-out trunk garnish. The XSE is sure to turn heads and leans further into the sporty styling with a color-matched front grille, front side canards, and rear diffuser. When it comes to the wheels, the SE features 18-in. black-finished alloys and XSE comes well equipped with range topping 19-in. black and smoke gray-finished alloy wheels.

Exterior color options include newly available Ocean Gem and Heavy Metal that will join Camry favorites like Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, Underground, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red, and Reservoir Blue. The XSE grade adds an available two-tone look with Ocean Gem, Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal and Supersonic Red paired with a Midnight Black Metallic roof.

Inside the Cabin Merging with the impeccable craftsmanship of Camry, the modern open-concept and refined materials offer a unique experience to the interior design of each grade.

Beginning with the sport grades, the SE comes with SofTex®-trimmed seats featuring sporty bold white accents in either Boulder or Black while the XSE adds a standard leather-trimmed interior with artistic “shooting blade” patterned perforations found on both the side door trim and seating surfaces. The XSE interior is available in two colors: Black with blue-lined perforations or the fan-favorite Cockpit Red. Both the SE and XSE grades come equipped with standard aluminum sport pedals and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters and a leather-wrapped shift knob.

The comfort grades also showcase their own interior personality and style. The LE will feature an expertly designed interior inspired by ocean waves with an embossed pattern in woven fabric found on the interior trim and seat surfaces in Boulder or Black. The higher-end XLE grade is the first Toyota Camry to feature a combination of leather and Dinamica® microfiber-trim; offered in Light Gray or Black. A quilted pattern with the Dinamica® trim can also be found inset on the front door panels and dashboard.

The Camry will also have enhanced seat comfort. Toyota engineers achieved this by changing the shape and density of the seat cushion and by increasing the cushion length. The headrest was also softened and moved rearward to enhance seat ergonomics and ride comfort. That comfort can be extended with heated front seats that come standard on the XLE and XSE and are optional on the LE and SE grades . T he higher-end grades also add an available front ventilated seat option and a standard heated steering wheel . That’s not all – t he XLE and XSE grades also come with standard 8-way power driver and 8 -way power passenger seats.  

An even quieter cabin can be found inside the XLE and XSE grades thanks to the standard front-side acoustic laminated glass to help reduce wind noise and harshness.

The Toyota Camry also sets the standard for convenience. The next generation model comes with a standard Push Button Start and a dual-zone automatic climate control system with rear air vents. And f or those who may have multiple drivers in the household, the XLE grade offers an available driver’s memory seat and memory side view mirrors. For added convenience, the XLE also adds available automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers. F or the first time on a Camry h ybrid, the XLE and XSE grades will have the option of adding a power tilt and slide panoramic roof with a power-retractable sunshade.

2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class works on its quads (motors, that is)

Martin Padgett

It has four motors, 579 hp, and an off-road heritage that goes back further than the Rivian R1S, GMC Hummer EV, and Tesla Cybertruck. With the electric version of its military-grade G-Class, Mercedes-Benz promises even more freedom from pavement than all those American-built flagwavers, and it does it all with batteries.

Joining the G-Class in the 2025 model year will be this G 580 with EQ Technology—not, as had been speculated, the “EQG.” From here on out, new EVs from Benz will adopt the first names of their classic model lines, with their electric DNA tagged at the end. E-Class, GLE-Class, and S-Class—all will get battery-electric models in the future, which could make today’s EQE and EQS cars the German equivalent of one-hit wonders.

2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology

2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology

G-Class EQ: A big battery floor

The electric G sports its usual ladder-frame construction, but instead of an ICE under the hood, it rides atop a 116-kwh lithium-ion battery mounted in its floor. Housed in a flex-resistant case, the battery pack integrates with the frame and wears thick metal protection as a skid plate. The pack combines 216 cells into 12 modules in two layers, cooled with three circuits. There’s no mention of the rumored silicon-anode battery chemistry that Mercedes had been keen to introduce to speed charging times.

With a quad-motor setup, each generating a maximum of 108 kw, the G 580 EQ nets out at 579 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque. Each motor has its own transmission, which enables a low-range mode for off-roading and relieves it of the need for its gas cousin’s three locking differentials. Mercedes promises a 0-62 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 112 mph. 

In addition to the G 580 EQ’s  Comfort, Sport, and Individual drive modes, a duo of Trail and Rock govern its off-road ability. Trail mode allows higher-speed driving, while Rock mode opens the door for Low to be engaged. When it is, it reduces the gears’ ratios by 2:1 and limits the speed to about 53 mph.

2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology

That mode also slips the G 580 EQ into two stunt-drive modes. G-Steering enables all-wheel steering that reduces turning radii on low-friction surfaces, while G-Turn takes that to its ultimate party-trick zenith. In D, with Rock and Low modes selected, a full crank of the steering wheel and a press on the accelerator pivots the car in a tight circle, almost like a skid-steer, permitting two complete revolutions. 

An off-road cruise control system permits low, variable, and fast crawl up to 5 mph, all with precise motor control. Ground clearance between the axles of the G 580 EQ stands at least at 9.8 inches. It offers a breakover angle of 20.3 degrees, an approach angle of 32 degrees, and a departure angle of 30.7 degrees. It can ford more than 33 inches of water, and it’s been tested on the same mountain trails at the Schöckl as the standard G-Class.

It’s all accompanied by G-Roar, a programmed set of sounds associated with drive modes or events, and an Off-Road Cockpit with readouts for a compass, steering angle, torque, tire pressures, and altitude.

2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology

Electric G-Class reaches for range

Benz quotes the G-EV’s WLTP range at 434-473 miles, which likely means about 250 miles on the EPA cycle, but official numbers haven’t been divulged. With a 200-kw maximum charging rate, it could take just over a half-hour to fast-charge it to 80%, based on its European specs. 

Recuperation of some energy gets overseen by paddle-controlled modes. The default of Auto dials in regen according to vehicle speed, cornering angle, and other factors, while a D+ allows for more sailing. In the other direction, Normal and D- and D– modes crank up the regeneration, but it’s unclear whether the G 580 EQ offers one-pedal driving.

As for ride and handling, the vehicle pairs a double-wishbone front suspension with a DeDion rear axle, while adding the new electrohydraulic adaptive damping system that’s also new to the ICE G this year. The brakes are hydraulic-assist, the G EQ rides on 265/60R18 tires, and in default modes, it has a very SUV-like turning radius of 44.6 feet. That’s before enabling its trick steering modes including G-Turn, which has met with some controversy. Rivian’s similar Tank Turn feature was canceled due to environmental concerns. The GMC Hummer EV and the related Sierra EV have a CrabWalk setup for diagonal driving.

2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology

G-Class with EQ Technology: Looks about right

About seven inches shorter than the 2024 model-year ICE G-Class, the G-Class EQ is otherwise very close in style. It sports a black-panel “grille,” a higher hood line, flares on the rear fenders that act as air curtains, and a small spoiler at the top of the windshield to smooth air flow.

Riding on a 113.8-inch wheelbase, at 182.0 inches long, 76.0 inches wide, and 78.2 inches tall, the G EQ ladles on the electronica among its usual power features, open-pore wood and leather trim, and ambient lighting. It lights up a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment, with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard safety features include adaptive cruise control, active lane control, active steering with blind-spot monitors, and automatic parking. Its available surround-view camera system generates stitched-together views that show the area directly around the vehicle for picking around trails. Burmester sound, twin 11.6-inch rear-seat displays, a dashcam, and a wireless charging pad are available, as are 20-inch wheels, running boards, and a package that lights the star logo, the model name, and the EQ badge.

The electric G-Class arrives at dealers late this year. Prices have not been announced, but think big. In Euros, the standard G 580 with EQ Technology costs more than $150,000, and the Edition One costs more than $200,000.

How To Turn Off Adaptive Cruise Control Toyota Tundra

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.

In 1999, Mercedes-Benz launched “Distronic,” the company’s first radar-assisted ACC, to the CL-Class and S-Class models.

Is adaptive cruise control the same as dynamic radar cruise control?

By allowing you to select a predetermined pace using traditional cruise control, you can let up on the gas pedal. Smart cruise, dynamic cruise, and adaptive cruise control all go a step further by recognizing and responding to the vehicles in front of you.

Adaptive cruise control is available on which Tundra?

According to Top Speed, the Toyota Tundra will be updated in 2022 with additional safety measures. Adaptive Cruise Control, which automatically regulates the vehicle’s acceleration and braking, is one of the extra safety features. The additional feature will be a wonderful addition to the SUV’s many other features. It can predict impending crashes and reduce on-road car accidents.

In addition, the 2022 Toyota Tundra has Blind Spot Monitoring, which is a set of sensors mounted on the truck to identify vehicles in the neighboring lanes.

The 2022 Tundra’s optional Panoramic Picture Monitor gives drivers a 360-degree view of their surroundings by using cameras on the front, sides, and back of the vehicle.

When is cruise control never a good idea?

Even though modern vehicles have numerous safety measures, it’s still crucial to understand when to avoid using the cruise control. This is due to the fact that cruise controlyes, even ACCis solely intended for long-distance travel on an interstate or other major roadway.

Avoid using cruise control when:

  • when the weather is slick or damp outside. Never use cruise control on slick surfaces, even if your car has functions like ACC or traction control. This is because utilizing cruise control while driving in slick weather may cause your wheels to spin more quickly than they should, which could lead to hydroplaning or shorter stopping distances.
  • when there is a lot of traffic. Like in the city, there is still a good chance of traffic if you are on the highway. You must turn off your cruise control whenever the flow of traffic slows down so that you may manually regulate your speed and use the brakes as necessary.
  • when you come upon curvy roadways. Last but not least, if you’re on a curving road, you should never utilize cruise control. This is so you can maneuver corners and curves safely and manually, as maintaining a steady acceleration could result in a loss of control.
  • when you are sleepy The distinction between cruise control and autopilot is one of the most crucial things to keep in mind. In most cars, cruise control does not operate the brakes or the steering of the vehicle. You might not be able to dodge a hazard on the road in time if you’re drowsy and your reaction times are slow.
  • when you’re operating a vehicle in a city or town. As we’ve previously stated, cruise control is only designed for one scenario. There are many unpredictable bikers, pedestrians, and other roadblocks in the city that aren’t present on the interstate. Additionally, cruise control cannot be used below a particular speed in most cars, making it hard to utilize it at city speeds.

After talking about when to avoid using cruise control, let’s examine when it’s okay to use cruise control.

Use of cruise control and fuel usage

Yes, generally speaking. Due to its capacity to maintain a constant pace, cruise control can help you become more fuel-efficient and can help you save on gas on average by 714%. In contrast, the constant acceleration and deceleration caused by the driver’s foot on the pedals might use up more gas.

Is it acceptable to always utilize the cruise control?

Cruise control is not intended to be utilized every time you are behind the wheel, even while it offers advantages and is more common than ever in cars today. If you use it improperly, you risk endangering yourself or others on the road. To ensure that you always sail securely, we at Diamond Glass have put together the following advice.

In dangerous weather, never use the cruise control.

If you plan to drive on slick or icy roads, you should avoid using a feature that will keep your car moving at a specific pace until it is deactivated. Even if you believe the roads in the area where you are traveling are in good condition, it may be better to avoid using cruise control if bad weather is predicted.

Don’t go faster than the speed limit.

It is exceedingly risky to set your cruise control for a speed that is higher than the speed limit permitted in your region. The typical interstate speed limit is from 55 to 70 miles per hour. Simply because it is safer and there won’t be any traffic violations, this range is advised when utilizing this feature.

Learn how to use the controls and what they do.

Even though cruise control may seem like a standard function, different automobile makes and models may have distinct controls. It doesn’t follow that a function will operate the same way in every car just because you are accustomed with it in one. To prevent any serious mishaps, take the time to become familiar with the controls in a secure area before you travel on the highway.

Avoid using the feature when there is a lot of traffic.

If you’ve never used cruise control before, avoid using it during rush hour or in other situations where there is a lot of stop-and-go traffic. The function is useful for long routes with minimal stops, but it’s not a good choice if you frequently slam on the brakes at intersections.

Be focused and aware.

You still need to be aware and concentrated even if the purpose of cruise control is to let the driver unwind and let their foot off the gas pedal for a bit. When you are fatigued or have been driving for a while, you shouldn’t utilize the feature. Additionally, you might want to completely avoid utilizing the feature if you frequently experience driving tiredness.

Does adaptive cruise control put a strain on the brakes?

It depends on the distance you’ve chosen for following. Less bars result in slower acceleration, harder braking, and longer braking distances.

If you are approaching halted traffic in front of you, it does not operate effectively. In that scenario, you ought to presumably brake independently. It works perfectly if you are following someone and you both slow down to a halt at the same time.

I’ll increase it to 4 bars as soon as I spot the brake lights up ahead. I’ll cut it to 1 bar once I’m in the stop-and-go to keep up.
