●The malfunction indicator lamp or brake system warning light is not illu-
minated
If the automatic release function does
not operate, release the parking brake
manually.
■If “Parking Brake Temporarily Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated repeat- edly over a short period of time, the sys-tem may restrict operation to prevent
overheating. If this happens, refrain from operating the parking brake. Normal operation will return after about 1 min-
ute.
■If “Parking Brake Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
Operate the parking brake switch. If the message does not disappear after oper-ating the switch several times, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Parking brake operation sound
When the parking brake operates, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
■Parking brake indicator light
●Depending on the power switch mode, the parking brake indicator light will turn on and stay on as described
below: ON: Comes on until the parking brake is released.
Not in ON: Stays on for approximately 15 seconds.
●When the power switch is turned off with the parking brake set, the parking brake indicator light will stay on for
about 15 seconds. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction.

5-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
With low speed windshield wiper opera-
tion selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation when the vehicle is sta-
tionary. (However, when the sensor sen- sitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode will not switch.)
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.* An optical sen- sor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight from the rising
or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc. are present on the windshield.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted to higher, the wiper may operate once to
indicate the change of sensitivity.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, the automatic opera-tion may not occur. In this case, oper-
ate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.*: It may be located on the opposite side
depending on the target region.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■Washer nozzle heaters (if equipped)
The washer nozzle heaters operate to
prevent frozen nozzle when the outside temperature is 5°C (41°F) or less and the power switch is in ON.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else does not become caught in the windshield wip-
ers.
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
■When the washer nozzle heaters
are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the area around the washer nozzle, as they can become
very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually
as the washer fluid pump may over- heat.

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
WARNING
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on the front surface of the radar or
front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

3805-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
