I am about to buy a second-hand Aurion. (Just missed out on one at auction an hour ago. :-(

Because of a medical condition I like to use the cruise control to start at as low a speed as I can, given the prevailing traffic conditions.

The after-market cruise control I have fitted to my Commodore VS I have set to start round 30 km/h.

Is anyone familiar enough with the Aurion computer to be able to tell me if this setting can be changed in the Aurion?

Cheers

Jim

It's approximately 40km/h and no lower. Isn't a facility to adjust that as well.

Thanks Amaro and djkor.

Another question:

Does the cruise control work while you are in the manual gear range?

Sure does. You can change to a lower gear range as well (within the upper gear limits) and the engine will just rev higher to compensate.

Yes, but I have just gone through the trouble of studying my manual for you a bit more and I've learnt something new myself.

Okay here goes:

The transmission must be in "D" or between "4" (forth range) and "6" (sixth range) in "S" position before you can set the cruising speed.

Also, you can set cruise control at any speed ABOVE 40KM/h. And each tap of the cruise control (up or down) will decrease or accelerate the car by 1.6Km/h.

Hope this helps :)

I never really read the manual, so that comes as something interesting to me. Most other cars I have been in, one tap equals an increase/decrease of 3km/h. Funny thing is, this is the exact same behaviour my Aurion exhibits.... Well I'm fairly sure it does because If I need to go faster, I count how many times I push the lever.

But then again, I rarely ever use cruise control, so manual facts win over my memory.

I actually knew about the 1.6km/h speed the first day I got the car. I had no clue how to use CC when I bought the car so I studied it in the manual.

Thanks guys.

I am hiring an Aurion from Hertz for 24 hours from 10am tomorrow.

It'll cost me $100, but I need a long drive because some of my problems only come after a long time driving.

I'll start with a trip to the Sunshine Coast and get to see just how it suits me.

Cheers

Jimmy is there by any chance you get blood clots because of long drives?

Not that problem.

A neurological problem.

Drove a Hertz Aurion to the Sunshine Coast yesterday.

No chance to have a 'preview' before I drove it out into city traffic, so a few short stops along the way to figure cruise control, foot-parking brake, seats, and find the horn.

(Horn is not listed in the index.)

Really enjoyed the ride.

Everything works together well - even with my requirement to use cruise control, lower gears and parking brake more than most people.

Now back to the shopping for one.

Thanks for your interest and help.

Cheers

Mate, asking the question again and again isn't helping anyone. Understandable if you post it again since the first time you asked was here in the Aurion forum where the Aurion comes with a factory cruise control so help with aftermarket devices from us will be more limited. But generally, ask a question once and wait for an answer. I'll add my input to the question the Corolla forum.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
