■Adjusting the speed setting
Increase speed
Decrease speed
Hold the lever until the desired
speed setting is obtained.
Fine adjustment of the set
speed (approximately 1.0 mph
[1.6 km/h]) can be made by
lightly pushing the lever up or
down and releasing it.
■Canceling and resuming regular acceleration
Cancel
Pull the lever towards you to
cancel cruise control.
The speed setting is also can-
celed when the brakes are
applied.
Resume
To resume cruise control and
return to the set speed, push
the lever up.

■The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when
● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The shift lever is in the “N” position.
● The vehicle is stopped completely.
■ The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between “H4” and “L4”.
■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
● If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to “L4” and the shift lever to
the “2” range of “S” while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the
brake can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use the “1” range of “S” of the shift lever for maximum power and traction
when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
■ The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
■ The center differential lock/unlo ck button can be operated when
● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The vehicle speed is less than 60 mph (100 km/h).
■ Locking/unlocking the center differential
● When the center differential is locked, VSC is automatically turned off.
(The center differential lock and “VSC OFF” indicator lights come on.)
● If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator
blinks. If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center
differential, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or
drive in reverse.
● If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.

■If the low speed four-wheel drive in dicator light or the center differen-
tial lock indicator light blinks
● If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely,
move the shift lever to “N” and operate the switch again.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The trans-
fer mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the power-
train and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At
this time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete
the shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever
to “N”, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).
● If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control
system may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer press the
switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may
be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive sys-
tem. In this case, you may not be able to shift between “H4” and “L4”, and
the center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer immediately.

■Function limitations
● In the following situations, brake control can be used to drive downhill at
a constant speed. However, engine control is not available when driving
uphill at a constant speed.
• When switched to second start mode
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● In the following situation, engine control and brake control will be tempo-
rarily canceled.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
■ If the brake system overheats
The system will cease operation and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (Ther e is no problem with continuing normal
driving.)
■ If the automatic transmission system overheats
The system will cease operation, a buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed, or the automat ic transmission fluid temperature warn-
ing light will come on to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place until
the warning message or the warning light turns off.
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in Crawl Control system.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the Crawl Control sys-
tem is operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.

To disable Active TRAC and/or VSC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in fresh snow or mud, Active TRAC and VSC
system may reduce power from the engine to the wheels. You may
need to turn the system off to enable you to rock the vehicle in order
to free it.
■ Turning off Active TRAC
Quickly push and release the
button to turn off Active TRAC.
The slip indicator light should
come on.
Active TRAC will stop the control
of the engine. However, the brake
will remain to be controlled.
Push the button again to turn the
system back on.
■Turning off Active TRAC and VSC
Push and hold the button for
more than 3 seconds while the
vehicle is stopped to turn off
Active TRAC and VSC.
The slip indicator light will come
on and “VSC OFF” will be shown
on the multi-information display.
Push the button again to turn the
system back on.

■Active TRAC can be turned off when
The four-wheel drive control switch is in “H4” and the center differential is
unlocked.
■ Automatic reactivation of Active TRAC and VSC
Turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off after turning off the Active
TRAC and VSC systems will automatically re-enable them.
■ Automatic Active TRAC reactivation
If only the Active TRAC system is turned off, the Active TRAC system will
turn on when vehicle speed increases.
■ Automatic Active TRAC and VSC reactivation
If the Active TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, the systems will not turn
on even when vehicle speed.
■ If the brake system overheats
The Active TRAC and hill-start assist control will cease operation and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (There
is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the Multi Terrain ABS, brake assist,
Active TRAC, VSC and hill-start assist control
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is acti-
vated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is activated.
■ Hill-start assist control is operational when
● The shift lever is in “D” or “S”.
● The brake pedal is not depressed.

■
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air
Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking effi-
ciency. Use only newly opened brake fluid.
CAUTION
■When filling the reservoir
Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious pro\
blem.
