When it comes to conquering off-road adventures and traversing treacherous terrains, the LandCruiser has always been a legend. With the recent introduction of the LandCruiser 300 Series, Toyota has taken its off-roading prowess to new heights, equipped with the impressive new and improved Crawl Control.
What is crawl control:
Crawl Control is an advanced technology developed by Toyota to assist drivers in navigating difficult terrains. It is essentially an intelligent off-road cruise control system designed to maintain a steady and controlled pace, allowing drivers to focus on steering and obstacle avoidance.

How does Crawl Control work:
Speed Control:
The driver can set the desired speed for the LC300 using the multi-information display and steering wheel controls. This speed becomes the target for the Crawl Control system.
Sensors and Feedback:
The vehicle is equipped with sensors that continuously monitor wheel speed, steering angle, throttle input, and other relevant data. This information is fed back to the Crawl Control system, which adjusts the vehicle's parameters accordingly.
Adaptive Braking:
Crawl Control automatically modulates the braking system to maintain a steady pace. It applies individual brakes to each wheel as needed, preventing wheel lock-up and ensuring optimal traction.

Throttle Management:
The system manages the throttle input to prevent sudden acceleration or wheel spin. It finely adjusts the engine's power output to maintain a constant speed without overwhelming the terrain.
Traction Control:
Crawl Control works in tandem with the vehicle's traction control system, applying selective braking to wheels with less grip and redirecting torque to wheels with better traction, allowing the Land Cruiser 300 Series to maintain forward momentum in challenging conditions.
