The cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in the following sit-
uations:
Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph)
below the set vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
VSC is activated.
Speed limiter is activated. (if equipped)
Radar sensor and grille cover
Always keep the sensor and grille cover clean to ensure that the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control operates properly. (Some obstructions, such as
snow, ice and plastic objects, cannot be detected by the obstruction sensor.)
Dynamic radar cruise control is canceled if an obstruction is detected.

Hands-free driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for about 15 seconds on a straight road
or about 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the
multi-information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will
be temporarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly
touching the steering wheel, this may also be detected as hands-free driv-
ing.
When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available for a while after driving has
started. In such cases, turn the LKA system off and turn it on again after nor-
mal temperature returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and
the temperature around the camera sensor becomes suitable for its opera-
tion, the functions will begin to operate.
Warning lights and messages for LKA
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. (P. 619)
CAUTION
Before using the LKA system
Do not rely on the LKA system to remain within a selected lane. The LKA
system is not designed to enable inattentive driving. The steering wheel
should be operated by the driver to maintain the vehicle in a suitable position
within its lane. Always drive carefully.

354 2-5. Driving information
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
Guidance
Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
Checking connections between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the operation of the connection
between the trailer and lights after driving for a brief period as well
as before setting off.
Practicing driving with a coupled trailer
Get the feel for turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area with no or light traffic.
When reversing with a coupled trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to turn right. Always rotate gradu-
ally to prevent steering error. Have someone guide you when
reversing to lessen the risk of accident.
Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the vehicle may spin out of control.
This is especially true when driving on wet or slippery road sur-
faces.
