RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, 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.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the “ON−OFF” button
to turn the system off and then press it
again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Dynamic laser cruise control allows you
to drive at a selected cruising speed
over about 45 km/h (28 mph) with your
foot off the accelerator pedal, maintain-
ing an appropriate vehicle to vehicle
distance.
CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on dynamic
laser cruise control in order to avoid
serious injury or death, or to prevent
accidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use cruise control except in ap-
propriate road and traffic conditions.
Always drive carefully and attentively.
Before using dynamic laser cruise
control, read and understand the fol-
lowing instructions.

mode
The dynamic laser cruise control func-
tion has two cruise control modes.
Vehicle −to −vehicle distance control
mode for maintaining an appropriate
distance between vehicles
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode for cruising at preset speeds
You can change the mode by using the
control lever.
The two cruise control modes function dif-
ferently. If you use dynamic laser cruise
control, always confirm which mode is se-
lected.
For the vehicle −to −vehicle distance control
mode, see “—Vehicle −to −vehicle distance
control mode” on page 205. For the con-
ventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode, see “—Conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode” on page 215.

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 vehicle to vehicle 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 vehicle to vehicle 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
snow covered 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-
hicle to vehicle 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 vehicle to vehicle 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.
