CHANGING VEHICLETOVEHICLE
DISTANCE
You can select one of the following ve-
hicle−to −vehicle distances.
1. LONG
2. MIDDLE
3. SHORT
Each time you pull the distance switch
briefly toward you, the setting changes
from LONG to MIDDLE to SHORT and
then back to LONG. You can confirm the
setting on the display.
Your vehicle speed changes in proportion
to the speed of the vehicle ahead, main-
taining the selected distance. However, if
the vehicle ahead is slower, the selected
distance will be shorter than the desig-
nated distance.
When the vehicle −to −vehicle distance con-
trol mode is activated or the “READY”
indicator comes on, the vehicle −to −vehicle
distance setting can be changed.
The vehicle −to −vehicle distance is always
set to LONG when the ignition switch is
turned on. Select the vehicle
−to −vehicle distance con-
sidering traffic conditions. The approximate
vehicle− to−vehicle distance based on time
interval when driving at 88 km/h (55 mph)
is shown below:
LONG about 75 m (245 ft.) . . . . . . . . . . .
MIDDLE about 50 m (165 ft.) . . . . . . . . . .
SHORT about 30 m (100 ft.) . . . . . . . . . .
If the vehicle speed is slower than 88
km/h (55 mph), the distance will be short-
er than the above.
During long downhill driving, the vehicle −
to −vehicle distance will be shorter than
the selected distance.
BRAKING CONTROL
Dynamic laser cruise control is not a colli-
sion avoidance system. If the approach
warning is activated, depress the brake
pedal to decelerate to ensure an appropri-
ate vehicle− to−vehicle distance.
If you are getting closer to the vehicle
ahead at a relatively higher speed than
that of the vehicle ahead or if engine
braking cannot be applied properly, brak-
ing control is automatically activated. At
this time, the display flashes.

USING THE CONTROLLER
To use the rear seat audio system con-
troller, direct the signal output portion
of the controller to the signal reception
portion of the rear seat audio system
display.
The rear seat audio system controller can
be operated when the ignition switch is in
the “ACC” or “ON” position.
The controller does not operate properly
when the signal reception portion of the
display is exposed to direct sunlight.
Block the display from direct sunlight.
Details of specific buttons, controls, and
features of the controller, see
“CONTROLLER FEATURES” on page 244
in this Section.
CAUTION
To reduce the chance of injury in
case of an accident or a sudden stop
while driving, stow the controller in
the console box or front seat side
table when it is not in use.
NOTICE
Observe the followings, otherwise the
controller may be damaged.
Do not drop or strongly knock the
controller against hard objects.
 Do not sit on or place heavy ob-
jects on the controller.
 Do not leave the controller exposed
to high temperatures (such as on
the instrument panel) for a long
time.

If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATE, which will close off the
outside passage and prevent outside
air and dust from entering the vehicle
interior.A U T O M AT I C O P E R AT I O N

Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer. If fuel consumption is poor, the
driving range will be shorter.
The compass indicates the direction
that the vehicle is heading. In the
above case, it shows that the vehicle is
heading south.
The direction display is updated every 2
seconds.Displays

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the roof.)
The battery has been disconnected.
The compass works to calibrate the direc-
tion automatically while the vehicle is in
motion, if deviation is small.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below.

Perform circling calibration just after
you have purchased your Toyota. And
then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, re-
placed or disconnected.
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
the calibration.
CAUTION
When doing the circling calibration,
be sure to secure a wide space,
and watch out for people and ve-
hicles in the neighborhood. Do not
violate any local traffic rules while
performing circling calibration.
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

build up on the sensor.
When the vehicle is parked in extreme-
ly high or extremely low temperature
for a long period.

na
When rain or water splashes on the
sensor.
When operating the vehicle on an in-
clined surface

Objects with a surface area too small
to reflect ultrasonic waves such as
wire gauze
Sound wave absorbing objects or mate-
rial such as cotton or snow
A person near the vehicle (depending
on the type of clothes worn)
Objects with a sharp edge
Small or short objects
Tall objects with an upper part project-
ing toward the vehicle

The Toyota park assist system is de-
signed to inform you of the approxi-
mate distance between your vehicle and
an obstruction by indicator and buzzer
while driving at approximate 10 km/h (6
mph) or less when parking the vehicle.
This system uses sensors to detect ob-
structions.
This system works when the ignition key
is at the “ON” position and the transmis-
sion is in the “R” position.
The sensors work only when the transmis-
sion is in the “R” position.

CAUTION
The Toyota park assist system is
intended as an aid to assist you to
park and is not a substitute for
your personal judgment. Make your
driving decisions based on your ob-
servations.
Do not attach accessories or other
objects to the vehicle within the
sensor perceptible area. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunc-
tion, which might result in an acci-
dent.
In certain situations, the system
will not function properly and when
the vehicle approaches certain ob-
jects, the system will not detect
those objects. Therefore, always ob-
serve the area around the vehicle
and do not rely solely on the sys-
tem.

This ISM device compiles with Cana-
dian ICES001.
In the following cases, the system may
not work properly.
