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

Im pretty sure its approx 40kmph but worse comes to worse go to toyota take a aurion for a test drive and see ? ill try tonight on the way home and see how low i can go :)

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

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.

Thanks Amaro and djkor.

Another question:

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

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

Jim

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

Jim

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.

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.
