The conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode allows driving at a speed between 30 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH) without keeping own foot on the accelerator pedal.

NOTE: Unlike the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode of the distance from the vehicle ahead is not performed. The ACC system warning and brake control are not performed.

Operation Description

When the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is OFF, pressing and holding the main switch for 1.5 seconds or more illuminates the speed control indicator and sets the control to the set wait condition.
NOTE: When switching to vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, first turn the system OFF, and then press the main switch for less than 1.5 seconds to set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode to the set wait condition.
The system compares the vehicle's current speed with the set vehicle speed and sends a command to the PHEV-ECU via CAN communication to control the motor and engine to bring the current speed closer to the set speed.
When the system is in the set wait condition and the vehicle speed is between approximately 30 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH), the vehicle speed at the time when the SET- switch is pressed is saved as the set vehicle speed, and control is started.
ADAS control unit 2 performs the control as per the following:

Driving at a constant speed

The vehicle's current speed is compared with the set vehicle speed and a command is sent to the PHEV-ECU via CAN communication to control the motor and engine to bring the current speed closer to the set speed.
