SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The LDA function displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is switched
to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when vi\
sible lane
markers on the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the dri\
ver when the
vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers on the road
are not detected or the function is temporarily cancelled.
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met aga\
in,
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA ma\
y not
function on the side(s) where white/yellow lines are not detectable.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
The driver can adjust the sensitivity of the LDA (warning) function fr\
om the
Multi-Information Display (MID) customization screen.
High - Is designed to warn approximately before the front
tire crosses the lane marker.
Normal - Is designed to warn approximately when the front
tire crosses the lane marker.

VEHICLE SWAY WARNING SYSTEM (SWS) FUNCTION
SWS is a function of LDA and is designed to detect swaying based on the \
vehicle
location in the lane and the driver’s steering wheel operation. To he\
lp prevent
swaying, the system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning\
displays
in the MID.
Continuous lane deviations from
swaying.
Gentle swaying from driver’s
inattentiveness.
Acute steering wheel operation after the
number of operations decrease due to driver’s
inattentiveness.

TURNING SYSTEM ON/OFF
ADJUSTING SET SPEED
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the p\
receding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected firs\
t when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode i\
s also
available.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected dist\
ance from a
slower vehicle traveling in front and accelerate back up to the selected\
speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
(1) Push the ON-OFF button. The “RADAR READY” or “
” indicator will come on.
(2) Push the lever down to SET speed, push it up to Resume and pull it\
or depress brake to Cancel.
(3) Push up to increase the set speed, push down to decrease (1 MPH i\
ncrements).

Note: If DRCC is turned off and
you hold the ON-OFF button for
at least 1.5 seconds, the system
switches to constant speed

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
ADJUSTING DISTANCE
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicl\
e-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distanc\
e from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-\
to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis\
tance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automaticall\
y
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on \
at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle a\
head
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. \
A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent\
your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long d\
ownhill
slopes.
1 The set speed may also be cancelled by depressing the brake pedal.2 The set speed may be resumed once vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient \
automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will fl\
ash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if an\
other driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brak\
e pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DR\
CC.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC o\
peration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
1.5 seconds
(3) 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.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-v\
ehicle
camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail light\
s of
preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low bea\
ms
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch tu\
rned to “AUTO” or “
” position, push lever away from you.
(2) Depress the Automatic High Beam “
” switch.
The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automat\
ically
to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off and the high beam indicator “
” turns on.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned on
(after approximately 1 second): • Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few street lights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automaticall\
y turn off
high beams: • Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lightsturned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or repl\
aced, turn
the “POWER” switch to IGNITION ON mode and press and hold the “
SET”
button until indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few\
minutes to allow
initialization to complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for ti\
re inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then\
remains on,
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or
changes in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not\
been
initialized recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should
turn off the light.
