Adaptive Cruise Control

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.

 

What he said, you will notice the dash icon with the vehicle goes away

 

Wonder if that info would be in the owners manual?

 

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.

 

I agree, try using it and get a feel for it. I absolutely love it, far more than I thought I would when I got the truck. One of my favorite features that I've never had in a vehicle before.

 

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. Ski

 

Plus (at least with my tune: kdmax) the tune doesn't exist while in adaptive cruise mode as a "Safety" feature... still active in non-adaptive cruise. I like the adaptive cruise which means I pretty much never get to experience the tune when using cruise.

 

Worst comes to worst you have feet to push the gas pedal and can moderate it physically.

 

I don't know why I keep seeing people say this. I have yet to see any post/quote/etc. from VF saying that adaptive cruise control is not available because of safety reasons. Last update I got from Mat was they were going to look for more maps after the 1.5.0 update was released. That was on December 3rd.

 

There’s nothing informative in that book

 

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.

 

It’s a $2200 option if your building a Porsche, unless it comes in a package for $$$$

 

Check out the details on Porsche InnoDrive. It is the next level of adaptive cruise control.

 

This is what I was told by @TacoNesian when he flashed my truck.

 

It's far from true. Changing cruise control could be considered unsafe, even more since it doesn't adjust speeds based on the vehicle in front of you.

By the way, I want to be clear that I wasn't making a personal jab at you or anyone in particular. Re-reading my post made me feel that's how I came across, which wasn't my intent.

 

S'all gravy. I would be curious to know the definitive answer.

I need to hit up @trdquoc for a reflash one of these days anyhow on account of my new tires. Their FAQ does specifically say that adaptive cruise maintains stock settings, though:

https://tk421tuning.com/faq

• Adaptive (Radar) Cruise Control still functions with factory settings (untuned)

• Regular (Constant Speed) Cruise Control has our updated settings (tuned)

 

Yes, that is true, we cannot make edits to adaptive cruise control shift points (yet).

Here's the thread I mentioned earlier.

 

Ahhhh.... I gotcha. I misunderstood your original comment... I thought you were saying it's not true that the tune doesn't work in adaptive cruise. Now I get that that you were pointing out that (while this is case), the reason isn't safety.

 

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.
