Push the button to switch on, accelerate 2 the desired speed and set. Even at low speed.
Can slow down and speed up also using the lever.
To cancel just pull the lever or apply brake.
I dono about other cars, but, it's far better than the one installed in my ex-ria.
Ops I've done comparison with the old kia again.

No ill meaning, how's the old ria auto cruise settings?

if let say you set cruise 100km/h when climb hill, will it be keep rev up till 100km/h?

Yup.

Need to reach 80km/h in order to use it.

sorry hijack camry thread. true the pickup if you middle hill. Triton perform better.

No it boils down to what you are after.

The Camry does 2 things very well:

1. A very comfortable drive
2. Spacious interior

For a lot of people, this really is good enough for them. It's hard to pinpoint why but prior to becoming a family man, safety was never really my no.1 concern. As long as the car got 2 airbags, got ebd, bsc, DVD, tc, TRC etc then it's good enough already, the idea was even if crash, if meant to die then sure die. But the car must have good resale value and easy to service or else got so many features also no use. That used to be my train of thought towards buying a car, I believe lots of people share the same view as well.

But these days, I wish my car is packed with as much safety features as possible. I look at how some idiots drive their [insert car] and I'm really scared they will at some point either lose control or never pay attention and knock into me.

It's fine if they want to rush to an early grave but please don't drag me or my family along. In this sense, the lack of safety features in the Camry and its obscene asking price is totally unacceptable. The lack of VSC is not so big deal to me as compared to the lack of airbags. After all, I can still more or less drive slower to compensate towards the lack of VSC but I can't compensate against an airbag not deploying or not enough airbags to protect me and my family, and right now, I'm extremely concerned how Toyota isn't addressing these 2 issues here with more urgency

So yes, there's no perfect car, but I would ideally want a car with as little things to complain about or worry about as possible.

Great, at least I know someone does care. Perhaps in future if any bus accident happen, we shall post the news and photos here, to remind rakyat Malaysia how unsafe it can be when naik bus?

If you want to save fuel, tekan brake or pull the lever to cancell the autocruise before uphill, otherwise u will see the engine rev to 3-4000 rpm just to keep up with the auto cruise preset speed.

Thanks for that. Kinda the same with the K5 then.

I noticed that once you set the speed say at 120kmph then you accelerate to 140kmph and lift off the pedal, the speed drops again to 120kmph and holds. Another thing i noticed is if u press the brake and then hit the RES lever, the car speeds up again to the previous speed setting and holds.

Is it the same with the Camry too?

Added on August 12, 2012, 11:48 pmBrake when downhill? Are u sure the car brakes automatically? I thought it uses the engine throttle and transmission to slow down?

VW Touran you press a button, then you can press up or down until you have reached the desired speed. In 1 km/h increments. Not sure if there is a way to take the current speed. Great to make minor adjustments, but if you want to speed up from 50 to 100... enjoy clicking.

If it is really a very comfortable ride that you are after, there is no way you can get past the Citroen C5 and C6. Unless you are going for Rolls Royce or Maybach, or maybe Audi A8 and Mercedes S class (only with the optional and pricey air suspension).

Yes.

In your example, when u speed to 140 the system considers that as temporary (e.g. overtaking) so when u lift off the pedal it will go back to the last set speed.

When u press the brake the cruise becomes off. To get back the previously set speed you have to press resume.

This logic is quite common for cruise control.

Yeah it uses the engine throttle and transmission to slow down. It doesn't apply the brake.

Hopefully there is a way to take the current speed, otherwise clicking so many times will be annoying.

In some cars I know there is a 2nd button you can click to increase cruise by 10 km/h.

well i guess we'll all be using the cruise control more often once the AES system is operational.

This is one of the reason why in Europe, VSC is a must.... Don't neglect ur safety.... Imagine the severity if the road is wet.....

Split-second decision.... VSC do help save ur life.... Those Euro NCAP test seems harmless... check this out...

This is without VSC....

Malaysia got rainy season, the road will get wet most of the time. I guess VSC is really necesary in Malaysia.

EURO NCAP list VSC is one of the main criteria on the safety rating, so is quite important feature.

Speaking of the wet road, i had twice going through a pool of water on the road unprepared, pressing brake when reached and the car lose control, skid to the side of the road (one time nearly swerve and bang the car on my side), luckily after going through the water, i manage to regain control of the car (i had to turn the steering on different direction very fast). So to me, VSC must installed to the car to increase the driver & passenger safety on the road.

Personally, I don't like cruise control, unless it is a total blank/no traffic highway.
Otherwise, in an uneven road, water, holes etc.
the car may try to accelerate to the pre-set speed if hitting those obstacle, quite dangerous for my liking.

Yup, quite useful.... Kia Sorento got this.... Just flick the knob and the speed will increase a bit...
If u want say move from 100 km/h to 140 km/h, just hold it and it will accelerate until u release the knob (till u reach ur desired speed, u stop)....

About Citroen, gotta agree.... Form the reviews, yeah it's suspension is hard to beat...
Heck Citroen's is famous for it's suspension...

Hopefully Naza can revive Citroen.....
