Adaptive cruise control supplements conventional cruise control with an active vehicle-to-vehicle distance control feature. Designed for use on freeways and express ways, in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, your car automatically accelerates or decelerates in order to maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle traveling directly ahead of you.

To activate the system, press the "ON/OFF" button at the end of the stalk on the lower end of the right side of the steering wheel. The radar-ready indicator will appear in the Multi Information Display.

Accelerate or decelerate to your intended speed, then press the stalk down to set it. If you want to go faster, push the stalk upward and hold until you've reached the desired speed and then release it. Or, if you want to slow down, push the stalk down and hold as you decelerate, then release it once you've reached the desired speed.

To cancel cruise control, tap the brakes, pull the stalk towards you or turn the system off with the ON/OFF button.

Adaptive Cruise Control was designed to maintain the preset distance between your car and the car driving in the same lane directly ahead of you.

When it’s active, it automatically adjusts for changes in the speed of the vehicle traveling directly ahead of you in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance you set.

In the event that you would like to change the preset distance between vehicles, you can do so by using the radar range button located on the lower right side of the steering wheel. Simply press the button repeatedly to cycle through the ranges available. You'll find them displayed on the Multi Information Display. And finally, you can disable the distance holding feature by pushing the cruise control stalk away and holding it until the indicator disappears and the conventional cruise control indicator lights up.

Where Is Cruise Control On Toyota Yaris?

Selecting the cruise on/off buttons on your car will start the cruise control system. The controls are typically positioned on the turn signal lever or the steering wheel itself.

In This Article...

Has the 2018 Toyota Yaris get cruise control?

Toyota is aware that it is much simpler to build a dependable car with tried-and-true components than to attempt to ride the cutting edge. Although sometimes necessary, that philosophy has been overused in the Yaris. It appears to be years behind its rivals and other Toyotas.

Good little automobiles have experienced a revival during the last five to ten years. Newer models of the Honda Fit, Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta, and others illustrate that we can now manufacture desirable, well-rounded automobiles at an affordable price, despite the fact that they were frequently perceived as poorly built, unrefined cars for those who couldn’t buy something better.

For less than $19,335 each, the Corolla, Corolla iM, and Yaris iA feel like real contemporary automobiles with contemporary refinement.

I could overlook the harsh plastics everywhere because the class pricing necessitates the use of certain inexpensive materials, but most rivals at least attempt to give the interior a pleasing aesthetic with a few pieces of glossy trim or brightwork. Not so in this case, where the infotainment looks pasted in and there are large seams everywhere where panels were installed.

It also includes a rather peculiar collection of tools. Every Yaris comes with automatic high beams as standard equipment, but automated lights are not available. Given that installing automatic high beams is more difficult and expensive, that seems odd. The Toyota Entune infotainment system, which has been a pain to use since it began, is included in the basic versions, but cruise control is not.

Additionally, only high-end versions are equipped with an immobilizer, which assures that the engine won’t start if the key’s chip isn’t recognized. Its addition is practically free because it is basic anti-theft equipment.

The Yaris makes me lose all fondness for its manual transmission thanks to a clunky, ambiguous shifter and only five forward ratios. Even in this low-power class, the 106 horsepower produced by the 1.5-liter engine is pitiful. Additionally, it uses a loud and crude method of delivering its meager power. While the floaty handling doesn’t quite match the bouncy ride, road and wind noise may be heard inside the cabin.

The Toyota Yaris from 2019 has cruise control, right?

In a recent press release, Toyota announced its plan to replace the Toyota Yaris iA with merely a regular Toyota Yaris in the existing lineup. The Toyota Yaris and Yaris iA will be combined to become the 2019 Toyota Yaris, but with a few nice additions to tie everything together. For more information, keep reading!

Toyota Yaris Features and Trim Levels

The new 2019 Toyota Yaris will come in three trim levels, L, LE, and XLE, as opposed to the previous Toyota Yaris iA’s single trim level. Numerous great features are available on all of these model levels, including as a cruise control, rearview camera, and 7-inch infotainment touchscreen. These features are all included as standard equipment in every model.

Another wonderful standard feature for a car at this budget is the low-speed pre-collision system, but if you want adaptive cruise control or blind-spot monitoring, you’ll need to seek elsewhere. Whether Apple CarPlayTM or Android AutoTM will be offered, as they were in the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, is unknown.

Toyota Yaris Exterior Changes

With the exception of a fantastic new honeycomb feature in the grille and a piano black and chrome trim, the 2019 Toyota Yaris largely retains its previous appearance. 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, and outside heated mirrors with LED turn signals are standard on the LE and XLE trim levels. The exterior of the new 2019 Toyota Yaris is elevated by all these fantastic features.

Although the price of the 2019 Toyota Yaris has not yet been disclosed, it is anticipated to be in the same range as the outgoing model, which starts at $15,950. Expect to see the new Toyota Yaris shortly; it will probably arrive in showrooms in the fall of 2018!

How does the cruise control icon appear?

The controls needed to operate it are often located on the steering wheel or one of the car’s indicator stalks.

You’ll frequently need to depress a button labelled with the cruise control icon, which is a speedometer symbol with an arrow pointing in a specific direction (seen on the stalk below).

The following buttons are typically used to activate cruise control:

Cancel Instead of the off switch, there should be a button that just pauses the system, in case you get stopped behind a slower vehicle. The similar effect is produced by pressing the brake pedal.

Resume or Res After pausing the cruise control, press here to resume it. The vehicle will resume moving at the predetermined pace.

Up and Down, plus and minus These change the preset speed of the cruise control. You can hit the minus button to slow down, for instance, if you’re on a highway and come to a set of roadworks with a lower speed restriction.

Using the brake pedal will immediately pause the system and cause the car to slow down just as if the system were turned off, allowing you to override cruise control whenever necessary. The speed of the car will rise if the accelerator is pressed. The cruise control typically stays on when you release the gas pedal and brings the vehicle back to its predetermined pace.

How does cruise control work?

Each vehicle model’s cruise control differs differently, however the majority of systems function quite similarly. Start cruising by following these 5 steps:

1. Increase your speed: Cruise control is best used on a freeway or dual carriageway where you can maintain a consistent pace of at least 30 mph without stopping frequently.

2. Turn on cruise control: Once you are traveling at the speed you want to be (while staying inside the posted limit), activate the cruise control system. The controls for it often sit on or behind the steering wheel, and when it’s turned on, a light will be seen on your dashboard.

It’s important to identify the buttons before using cruise control for the first time in order to avoid fumbling around while driving and potentially dangerous situations.

3. Set the cruise control: Press the set button after turning on the system. Your car will receive this communication and maintain the present speed. The dashboard indicator will turn green in the majority of cars as a result. Once the cruise control is in place, you can let up on the gas and the vehicle should continue to go at the same speed.

4. To accelerate: To increase the vehicle’s speed, most cars have a “up” arrow or “+” button. The system will typically be overridden if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

5. To slow down, either use the brake pedal or the down arrow on the cruise control system. As soon as the brake is engaged, the cruise control will turn off for safety reasons.

The “cancel” button has several functions, including pausing cruise control so you may regain full control without the system completely turning off. The speed you chose to cruise at should be maintained.

How is a Toyota cruise used?

There are more buttons and gadgets in our cars than we sometimes know what to do with. How to operate the cruise control on a Toyota is one of the features that drivers inquire about most frequently. Fortunately, the procedures are simple and will improve the effectiveness and regularity of long distance travel.

Instructions for using Toyota cruise control

With the stock located on the right side of the driver’s steering wheel, cruise control can be activated. Additionally, indicators that reflect whether cruise control is engaged and the selected speed are displayed on the Toyota’s Multi-Information Display (MID).

  • Push the ON/OFF button on the stock in order to turn the system on.
  • On MID, the cruise control icon will appear.
  • Boost or brake to the desired speed.
  • To set speed, press the stock down.
  • On MID, a set indicator will appear.
  • Press stock up to accelerate in one-mile increments to boost speed.
  • Hold the stock up continually while you accelerate in bigger steps.
  • To adjust speed, release the stock.
  • By pressing the stock down, you can slow down in one-mile increments.
  • Hold down the stock continually to reduce speed in larger steps.
  • Pull the stock in your direction or apply the brakes to turn off the cruise control.

How can I tell if the cruise control on my car is on?

First, assess the highway’s driving conditions. Inclement weather is not intended for usage with cruise control. When determining whether to use your car’s cruise control, use caution. Before engaging cruise control, especially if it is your first time using the device, make sure there are no impending obstructions.

  • Even if the road appears to be empty, it would be a bad idea to use cruise control in such weather.

Increase your speed. The legal limit for traveling on an interstate is often between 55 and 70 miles per hour. The cruise control speed range is great. Never try to increase the cruise control speed on your car past the speed limit. This is reckless and dangerous.

Turn on cruise control once you’ve reached the appropriate speed. The cruise control system’s buttons are often found on the steering wheel in cars. To prevent an accident, identify these buttons by consulting your owner’s manual when the automobile is not in use.

The mechanism is often activated by pushing a larger button labeled “cruise.”

Set the cruise control after the cruise control system has been turned on. Most likely, this will only involve pressing another steering-wheel button. You can take your foot off the accelerator after you’ve set the cruise control. The vehicle must maintain its speed.

Keep a close eye on the road when operating a vehicle that is being accelerated by a cruise control system. You will need to turn off cruise control before you slow down or stop, which will cause a delay in your reaction time.

Most models either feature additional buttons or let the driver temporarily press the accelerator pedal while in cruise control.

Either hit the corresponding cruise control system button or swiftly press the brake to slow down. Almost all car models automatically deactivate the cruise control as soon as the brake is applied as a safety measure.

When driving on the interstate, using cruise control is a terrific method to manage your speed. By avoiding abrupt accelerations and decelerations, setting your vehicle’s cruise control to a suitable speed will also cut down on fuel use. Be warned that if you are prone to driving fatigue, it is not a good idea to utilize cruise control. Many motorists believe that being able to unwind their legs while driving and not having to pay strict attention to their speed increases the risk of driver tiredness.

Here is a video explaining adaptive cruise control, which is a precursor to autonomous vehicles and is becoming more and more common in new cars every year:

Posted by J. Takesh on 21st May 2019

Installed cruise control in my 2009 Toyota Yaris, I feel for what I had to install the bat handle, plus a couple of wires, that it was a bit pricey. Also instruction pictures were not easy to see, pic's retaken way to many times. Had to call customer service to figure out the instructions. Although the install came out fine and is working like it should.

Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control

The first iteration of the more-basic cruise control system in older Toyota models helps the vehicle maintain a steady speed, ideal for highway cruising.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional system by adjusting the car’s speed to match the vehicle in front, especially when the latter slows down.

When the vehicle ahead changes lanes or accelerates, the ACC will return your car to the speed you set.

Newer Toyotas have Toyota Safety Sense, a bundle of active safety features which include dynamic radar cruise control.

The following rival makes also have popular models with ACC:

  • Honda vehicles with ACC .
  • Nissan vehicles with ACC .
  • Hyundai vehicles with ACC .
  • Kia vehicles with ACC .
  • Volkswagen vehicles with ACC .
  • Ford vehicles with ACC .

Edmunds' Expert Review

cruise control toyota yaris 2018

  • Appealing roster of standard convenience and safety features
  • Rear legroom is surprisingly generous
  • Less cargo capacity than some rivals
  • Tilt-only steering wheel makes it hard to get an ideal driving position
  • Outdated four-speed automatic transmission

Vehicle overview

Available in two- or four-door body styles, Toyota's 2018 Yaris hatchback is ideal if you're looking for a reliable vehicle with easy-to-park dimensions and a very affordable price. But for that price, you do have to make some sacrifices.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2018 Toyota Yaris L 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.55 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.

On the positive side, the Yaris' small overhangs and standard rearview camera make maneuvering in parking lots and parallel parking a breeze. It's also one of the few cars in its class to offer the latest in advanced driver safety aids, including lane departure warning, automatic high-beam activation, and forward collision warning and mitigation. All reinforce the Yaris' already good safety scores. Of course, the Yaris is also a hatchback, so you can fit more cargo than you could otherwise in a sedan.

And though the Yaris is functional, it's not particularly enjoyable to drive. The lack of a telescoping steering wheel means it's hard to find a comfortable driving position. The Yaris, with its 106-horsepower engine and four-speed automatic transmission lag, behind the competition, which offer more powerful engines and smoother-shifting six-speed transmissions. And while a touchscreen comes standard, you might be also dismayed at the lack of comprehensive smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Overall, the Yaris is a perfectly usable subcompact. But with as much variety as there is in this segment, you may find there are better choices in the class if you want something more than basic transportation.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

Trim tested, acceleration, drivability, seat comfort, ride comfort, noise & vibration, climate control, ease of use, getting in/getting out, driving position, small-item storage, cargo space, child safety seat accommodation, audio & navigation, smartphone integration, driver aids, voice control, which yaris does edmunds recommend, 2018 toyota yaris models.

Standard features on the L includes 15-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights and high-beam control, power door locks and windows, air-conditioning, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-only steering wheel, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth, a 6.1-inch touchscreen, and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, HD radio and a USB port. Lane departure warning and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking are also standard.

The LE adds or substitutes 15-inch alloy wheels, power side mirrors, remote locking and unlocking, cruise control and enhanced interior trim.

For a more premium Yaris, go with the SE trim. It's only available as a four-door, and you'll get 16-inch alloy wheels, projector-beam headlights, LED running lights, foglights, special exterior styling elements, four-wheel disc brakes, a larger 7-inch touchscreen, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and upgraded cloth upholstery.

Speed limiter/Cruise control - 2018

My wife’s 2018 Icon Tech has the lever/switch on steering wheel to set speed limiter, however, there is no cruise control.

On my previous Lexus, car came without cruise, but purchased lever/switch, fitted it, plugged it in and cruise control worked ( albeit without radar sensing ).

Was wondering if I change level/switch for a combined cruise and limiter switch ( £140 ), this would also give me standard cruise control?

Anyone done it or tried it?

ODon’t understand because my (Sept) 2018 Icon Tech has CC lever just below the wheel, not on the actual wheel.

It functions as a ‘dumb’ cruise control rather than active.

It doesn’t function as a limiter.

■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed ●The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed resumes. ●Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the lever down to set the new speed.

I’ve nipped out and tried it…..it does have cruise control. Think what’s happened is my wife tried it but was under 30mph so didn’t engage.   

Case closed. Thanks for the feedback.

Mine works below 30, but I don't know how far. Certainly 28-29 as I often engage it 'early' then trim up.

Lowest setting is 25mph.
