Thank you for this wonderful explanation on how to use this feature. I did a test drive in a Lexus today and the salesperson told me that the car did not have dynamic Radar Cruise Control. I mentioned that in the online ad, it said that the car came equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control. So between us, we "sort of" figured out how to use it. It was a feature that I REALLY wanted on my next car. I realize that not all salespeople can know every feature of a car. But this was a Lexus dealership. Nonetheless, thank you again for this video. You saved me a ton of research and reading.
Thank you. I appreciate your prompt reply. I've been using Mercedes dynamic cruise control which they call distronic at the car doesn't gain over a mile per hour going uphill or downhill from. We have a 2016. I think I mentioned previously that gains almost 7 miles an hour going downhill and it takes a long time for it to take to go uphill
I’ve been getting used to this dynamic cruise control, but what I still haven’t figure is the “link” line that you see connected to the car in front of you. (5:27). What is that?
@@CarDietrichThe reason I ask is because my 2023 NX350 DOES have a touch sensitive wheel for turning the prompt off while using the adaptive cruise. However, my new Lexus 2025 UX300h steering wheel seems to NOT have this touch feature. I was searching to see if the UX I bought might have had a manufacturing flaw and found your video. Thanks for help! Subbed! 😊
Hi again, I enjoyed your video. Really shows clearly how they work. So thank you for that. Do you have an email address or some way I can connect with you to ask my question about the dynamic cruise control. Getting speed going downhill and losing speed going uphill?
Does the dynamic cruise control gain speed going downhill or lose speed going uphill when it's set. Our 2016 RX 350 gains about 5 to 7 mph downhill which is just not acceptable
The car should maintain speed going downhill or uphill with the Dynamic Cruise set by modulating throttle and gearing. Unless the hill is uncommonly steep, I have not experienced adaptive cruise systems gaining speed downhill.
Honestly it really depends on the year/model/options on your particular Toyota, they’ve built so many versions of it over the years it might or might not
@@CarDietrich 2024 Lexus TX which is what I should've noted, it comes with LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM+ 3.0...the TX I am trying to pick up a the dealership has a $895 CONVENIENCE PACKAGE which these are listed; DIGITAL KEY* (REQUIRES REMOTE CONNECT SUBSCRIPTION; 3-YEAR TRIAL INCLUDED). 4G NETWORK DEPENDENT. FRONT CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT* TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST* (REQUIRES DRIVE CONNECT* SUBSCRIPTION; 3-YEAR TRIAL INCLUDED). 4G NETWORK DEPENDENT. I'm wondering why I would pay for (traffic jam assist) if the LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM+ 3.0 comes with DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL already standard.. would I need to pay for the subscription after 3 years just to use CC under 25mph? Hopefully my question is a littler clearer.. thanks
Yes it can brake by itself and bring itself to a complete stop (on this model), no it cannot make lane changes or use the Navigation to navigate itself. Those last two features may be added to future Lexus models, but they are not currently included with this system
This is WAY too complicated. Lexus really needs to take a look at BMW and Infiniti, both of whose systems can be activated with a single touch. Just turn the BMW cruise on, and it defaults to whatever speed you’re driving and the drive assist turned on. I know someone who owns this car and I was surprised to discover she had this system in her car. She’s never used it, didn’t realize she even had it. I tried to explain how to use it, and it just confused her. She’s never gonna use this.
Could it be that the times you feel you LX hasn't locked on to the car in front of you that car is too far out front? If it is simply unpredictable regardless of distance, I would recommend taking it to a dealer and having them inspect it to see if there is a malfunction.
One thing I noticed about the RX I drove was that the center screen would change what it was showing me depending on what I had selected. For example, when I had the screen set to show fuel economy information but the Dynamic Cruise was active, the Cruise screen would pop up to show me when it had locked on to a new target, and then switch back to the fuel economy data after a few seconds or so. Is that what is going on with your car?

Very informative. Good video. I love the RX350.
Thank you for watching!
That stalk is so much better than steering wheel controls. I hope it comes back redesigned.

Glad to be of assistance! Send my video to your salesperson too so they will be better prepared next time lol

And once again, I really enjoyed your excellent video. Probably going with the RX 450 plus

can you take your hands of the steering wheel on a highway, and for how long?
This system is not meant for hands free driving, you need to keep your hands on the wheel and watch the road
Do you just need to touch the wheel to turn off the prompt? Or do you need to actually move the wheel? Is the wheel touch sensing?
You need to move the wheel very slightly, it is not touch sensitive

Does DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL work in stop and go traffic under 25mph, without the traffic jam assist package(TJA)?

Im sorry, but its disengaging when you hit 0, in start and stop, you have to re-resume, correct?
The Dynamic radar cruise control doesn't really disengage when you come to a stop, you just need to tell it when to start moving again
@@CarDietrich it basically means it's disengaged 🙄. This module is so confusing
does lane tracing assist work when you arent on radar cruise control mode? My gx lane tracing doesnt work if i am not on cruise control
Lane Tracing only works when the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is active
I have 3 question
Does it brake by itself on stop n go traffic?
Can it make lane changes by itself?
Can it use the navigation to navigate itself?
Yes it can brake by itself and bring itself to a complete stop (on this model), no it cannot make lane changes or use the Navigation to navigate itself. Those last two features may be added to future Lexus models, but they are not currently included with this system
@@CarDietrich ok thanks 👍
No problem!

Sometimes my LX600 locks to the car in front of me and sometimes it doesn’t…what gives?

@@CarDietrich It shows a laser beam on the dash when it “locks on” but normally it lasts for a few seconds then “unlocks.”
Is it still responding to the car in front of you (IE speeding up and slowing down) despite what the graphic is showing you?
@@CarDietrich Yes, the dynamic cruise works
One thing I noticed about the RX I drove was that the center screen would change what it was showing me depending on what I had selected.
