Rostra Introduces Custom Designed Cruise Control System For Toyota Yaris

LAURINBURG, NC - June 20, 2006: Rostra Precision Controls Inc. has introduced a fully electronic Drive by Wire Custom Cruise(r) Control System for the 2006-2007 Toyota Yaris. A system is available for both manual and automatic transmissions.

The Rostra Yaris Cruise Control System features all traditional cruise control functions including: * set speed; * coast/reduce speed; * resume/accel; * controlled resume rate, and * retention of last set speed

The system also incorporates several important safety features. The cruise control will disengage as soon as pressure is applied to the brake pedal, and it won't engage at speeds less than 20 mph.

Advanced features of the system include a function that allows drivers to tap 'up' or 'down' to adjust speed in one mile-per-hour increments, as well as closer, more accurate control of set speed.

"One might add a cruise control system to their vehicle to increase driving comfort by reducing the leg and ankle fatigue that results from frequently adjusting pedal pressure," said Sibyl Ringsdorf, manager of marketing and national accounts, Rostra Precision Controls Inc. "As well, the system helps prevent fuel waste due to erratic changes in speed and can help avoid costly tickets from unintended speeding."

The Yaris Cruise Control System is backed by a three-year limited warranty. It comes with all hardware, a fully illustrated installation manual as well as technical assistance. Professional installation is recommended.
