2044-5. Using the driving support systems
■Cruise control can be set when
●The shift lever is in D or range 4 or higher of S has been selected.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
●The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
● Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
■ Automatic cruise control cancellation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● 4WD models: The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or more after
operating the front-wheel drive control switch.
■ If the cruise control indicator light flashes
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels imme-
diately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control
system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
■ To avoid operating the cruise control by mistake
Switch the cruise control off using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.
■ Situations unsuitable for cruise control
Do not use cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in loss of control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
● In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On steep hills
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

AUTO LSD system
The system can be used on 2WD models and in 2WD mode on 4WD
models.
The system is activated when driving at a speed under 62 mph (100
km/h).
The AUTO LSD system will be activa ted with the following two proce-
dures.
Press the VSC off switch briefly.
The “AUTO LSD” indicator will
come on.
To turn off the system, push the
switch again.
Stop the vehicle completely, and
press the VSC off switch for more
than 3 seconds.
The VSC off and “AUTO LSD” indi-
cators will come on.
To turn off the system, push the
switch again.
The AUTO LSD system aids trac tion by using the traction con-
trol system to control engine performance and braking when
one of the rear wheels begins to spin.
The system should be used only when one of the rear wheels
spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.

Driving
Driving assist systems
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
◆Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and reducing engine torque when
trailer sway is detected.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if
VSC system is turned off or experiences a malfunction.
◆TRAC (Traction Control) for 2WD models and 2WD mode on
4WD models
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆A-TRAC (Active Traction Control) for 4WD mode on 4WD mod-
els
Maintains drive power and prevents all wheels from spinning when
starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.

The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/A-TRAC/
Trailer Sway Control systems are
operating.
If the vehicle gets stuck in fresh snow or mud, VSC/Trailer Sway Con-
trol/TRAC systems 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.
■TRAC off mode
