Can the New RAV4's Adaptive Cruise Control Be Used with a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
New RAV4's adaptive cruise control cannot be used with a manual transmission, as adaptive cruise control requires automatic gear shifting support, which a manual transmission cannot provide. Definition of Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control, also known as active cruise control, is an intelligent automatic control system. The system includes a radar sensor, digital signal processor, and control module. The driver sets the desired speed, and the system uses low-power radar or infrared beams to detect objects within approximately 200 meters ahead, determining the exact position of the vehicle in front. If the system detects that the vehicle ahead is slowing down or a new obstacle appears, it sends execution signals to the engine or braking system to reduce speed, maintaining a safe following distance. Definition of Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control: Full-speed adaptive cruise control means providing adaptive cruise control functionality across the entire speed range. It can be considered a functional branch of adaptive cruise control, and both are developed based on traditional cruise control.
