CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on dynamic
laser cruise control. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions in order to avoid
serious injury or death:
Under certain conditions where the
vehicle in front slows drastically, or
is stopped, the dynamic laser cruise
control will neither warn you nor
decelerate. You must depress the
brake pedal to slow down, ensuring
collision avoidance or that suffi-
cient vehicletovehicle distance is
maintained.
Do not use dynamic laser cruise
control in the following conditions:
In bad weather (such as rain, fog,
snow, sandstorms or direct sun-
light, or when raindrops or snow-
flakes get on the laser radar sensor
glass), the vehicletovehicle dis-
tance will not be measured accura-
tely.
When using the windshield wipers
at high or low speeds the dynamic
laser radar cruise control turns off.
On roads with heavy traffic or
sharp bends, an appropriate speed
cannot be maintained and an acci-
dent may occur.
On slippery road surfaces (icy or
snowcovered road surfaces), the
tires will race and you will be un-
able to control the vehicle.
When there is no vehicle detected
ahead on steep downhill slopes, the
preset speed will be easily exceed-
ed because of inefficient engine
braking. (In this case, automatic
braking will not work.) If there is a
vehicle detected ahead, the delay in
deceleration timing could cause se-
rious injury or death.
When the alarm sounds frequently
(because acceleration or decelera-
tion was repeated or sufficient ve-
hicletovehicle distance was not
maintained), an appropriate vehicle
speed cannot be attained and an
accident may occur.On roads with steep and short in-
clines and declines, failure to de-
tect the vehicle ahead will shorten
the distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead and an acci-
dent may occur.
Deceleration cruising function and
approach warning do not operate
when the vehicle ahead is at a stop
or driving very slowly.
If the vehicle ahead of you deceler-
ates abruptly or if another vehicle
cuts in ahead of you, your vehicle
may collide with the vehicle ahead
unless you manually depress the
brake pedal to slow down your ve-
hicle.

If you need to accelerate—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to
the control prior to acceleration.
You cannot set a desired speed if the
master warning light comes on, the alarm
sounds and the display indicates one of
the warning codes “E1”, “E2” or “E3”. If
any of the above codes appears on the
display, see “VEHICLE−TO −VEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE
WARNING” on page 214.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by doing
any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pressing the “ON −OFF” button.
If cancelled by a. or b., the “READY”
indicator comes on and the dynamic laser
cruise control enters the ready mode.
If cancelled by c., the “CRUISE” indicator
light goes off in the instrument panel. In
this case, the preset speed data is
cleared, and you must set the speed from
the beginning. In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out:
a. The vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph). (40 km/h (25 mph) is
designated as a cancel speed.)
b. The slip indicator light blinks and an alarm sounds. (This occurs when the
vehicle is about to skid.)
If cancelled by a. or b., the “READY”
indicator comes on and the dynamic laser
cruise control enters the ready mode.
If one of the warning codes “E1”, “E2” or
“E3” appears on the display, the preset
speed automatically cancels out. See
“VEHICLE −TO −VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING” on
page 214.
If the preset speed automatically cancels
out for other than the above reasons, do
not operate the dynamic laser cruise con-
trol. Although there is no problem to con-
tinue driving, please contact your Toyota
dealer. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. The displayed speed will in-
crease in increments of 5 mph (for the
U.S.A.) or 5 km/h (for Canada). Release
the lever when the desired speed is attai-
ned. The vehicle speed will gradually in-
crease to the display speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
CAUTION
When the vehicletovehicle distance
control is on, your cruising speed is
regulated in proportion to the speed
of the vehicle ahead, so increasing
the preset speed using the control
lever does not accelerate the vehicle.
However, if the vehicle ahead leaves
the lane, your cruising speed will in-
crease to the preset speed because
the preset speed has been set higher
using the control lever. Confirm the
setting on the display.

Before driving in the vehicletovehicle
distance control mode, make sure the
radar sensor glass is clean.
This product is a class I laser product
complied with 21 C.F.R part 1040.10
and 1040.11.
CAUTION
To ensure that dynamic laser cruise
control will function properly while
driving, observe the following:
Always keep the laser radar sensor
glass clean. When cleaning, use a
soft cloth and be careful not to
damage the sensor.
Avoid strong impacts around the la-
ser radar sensor. An incorrect laser
radar sensor alignment will result in
system malfunction. A special de-
vice is required to adjust the laser
radar sensor alignment. Be sure to
have the sensor adjusted by your
Toyota dealer.
Do not affix a sticker (including a
transparent sticker) or attach an ac-
cessory around the laser radar sen-
sor.
VEHICLETOVEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING
If there is trouble somewhere in the dy-
namic laser cruise control while the ve-
hicle−to −vehicle distance control mode is
on, the master warning light comes on
and the alarm sounds, and one of the
warning codes “E1”, “E2” or “E3” will ap-
pear on the display. Dynamic laser cruise
control is automatically cancelled.
If “E3” appears on the display, the
“CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument
cluster also flashes. If “E1” appears on the display,
the sys-
tem cannot easily measure the vehicle −to −
vehicle distance because of a dirty laser
radar sensor glass while the dynamic la-
ser cruise control is on.
If this code appears, clean the sensor
glass with a soft cloth and try setting the
preset speed again. If the dirt is removed
without cleaning, the system will automati-
cally enter the ready mode.
If the system does not enter the ready
mode even after cleaning or the code re-
mains on the display, the system might be
malfunctioning. Although there is no prob-
lem to continue driving, please contact
your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Always keep the sensor glass and
never allow it to be covered with
icicle or any substance, so it can de-
tect the vehicle in front.

If “E2” appears on the display, the sys-
tem cannot easily measure the vehicle −to −
vehicle distance because of the following
conditions:
The wipers are operating at high or low
speeds
Direct sunlight from the front
It is difficult to make a measurement
because of bad weather (such as rainy,
foggy, or snowy weather)
In the following cases, dynamic laser
cruise control switches to the ready mode:
The wipers are stopped or are
switched to intermittent operation.
No direct sunlight from the front
In the above conditions, push the lever up
in the “+ RES” direction and release it.
Dynamic laser cruise control will be re-
stored. If the setting operation cannot be
performed or if the warning code still ap-
pears even after the weather clears, the
system might have malfuncti oned. Al-
though there is no problem to continue
driving, please contact your Toyota dealer. If “E3” appears on the display,
a system
malfunction has been detected.
If this code appears, stop your vehicle in
a safe place, turn the ignition off, and
then restart it to reset the system. If the
setting still cannot be made or the same
code appears again, the system might
have malfunctioned. Although there is no
problem to continue driving, please con-
tact your Toyota dealer. This mode allows you to cruise at a
desired speed over about 45 km/h (28
mph) with your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades within the limits of engine
performance, although a slight speed
change may occur when driving up or
down the grades. On steeper hills, a
greater speed change will occur so it is
better to drive without the cruise control.
CAUTION
In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, the approach
warning does not activate and no
alarm will sound even if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead, as
neither the presence of the vehicle
ahead nor the vehicletovehicle
distance is detected. Pay special
attention to the distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Always confirm the setting in the
display.

SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in “D” before
you set the cruise control speed in the
conventional cruise control mode.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed and the display shows the
preset speed. You can now take your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
If you need to accelerate—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to
the speed set prior to acceleration. You cannot set a desired speed if the
master warning light comes on, the alarm
sounds and the display indicates the
warning code “E3”. If this code appears
on the display, see “CONVENTIONAL
CRUISE CONTROL MODE FAILURE
WARNING” on page 218.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by doing
any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pressing the “ON −OFF” button.
In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out: a. The vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph).
b. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the pre-
set speed will also automatically be
cancelled.
c. The slip indicator light blinks and an alarm sounds. (This occurs when the
vehicle is about to skid.)
If cancelled by b., the preset speed data
is cleared and you must set the speed
from the beginning. If the preset speed automatically cancels
out for other than the above reasons, do
not operate the cruise control. Although it
is no problem to continue driving, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity.
RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can
be increased 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time
by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can
be lowered 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time
by pushing the lever down in the “ − SET”
direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
Even if you downshift from “D” to “4” in
the conventional cruise control mode, en-
gine braking will not be enabled because
this mode is not cancelled. To decrease
the vehicle’s speed, reset to a slower
speed with the cruise control lever or de-
press the brake pedal. If you use the
brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the lever, by depressing the brake pedal
or by activating the vehicle stability con-
trol system, pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
If the preset speed is cancelled when ve-
hicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25
mph), the preset speed will be resumed
when vehicle speed exceeds about 40
km/h (25 mph) again.
CONVENTIONAL CRUISE CONTROL
MODE FAILURE WARNING
