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.
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 (1mph in\
crements).
(1) 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
control mode and displays
“”.
ADJUSTING DISTANCE
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up t\
o
approximately 328ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-ve\
hicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distanc\
e from the
vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long d\
ownhill
slopes.
DISABLING THE LDA SWAY WARNING SYSTEM
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 control mode is also
available.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
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.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch tu\
rned to “AUTO” position, push lever away from you.
The “
” indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on
automatically to indicate that the system is active.
(2) Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The “
” will turn off and the “” 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.
ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
1.5 seconds
(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.
(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.
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient \
automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the displ\
ay will
flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this \
would be
if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle\
. Depress
the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

ADJUSTING DRCC DISTANCE (CONTINUED)
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.
