I’m looking at buying a new VX, and was test driving a GLX yesterday but the cruise control exhibited some weird behavior.. the ACC worked fine when there was a car in front maintaining distance and speed down hills, but if there was no car in front the cruise control would not maintain the set speed down a hill. If I reduced the set speed the prado would brake and capture the new speed and then race away down hill again...
As this was a test drive / demo, quite possible operator error is at fault.. having driven modern cars with cruise control with brake assistance I was expecting the prado to hold the set speed even down a hill.
Is the MY21 prado cruise control meant to automatically apply brakes to not over run the set speed? Or is this normal behavior where by brakes are only applied to achieve a new set speed and then the vehicle is allowed to overrun on a steep decline?
we use cruise control a lot and any advice is appreciated..
