(1) Press “ ” switches and select from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “ ” switches and select the SWS setting function and then press “
”.
(3) Press “
” each time to change the setting. Press “” to go back to the menu.
Note: Operation of the LDA system and setting adjustments continues in t\
he
same condition regardless of Ignition cycle until changed by the driver \
or the
system is reset.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
ADJUSTING DRCC SET SPEED
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).

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

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.
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.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for tire changing and jack positioning pr\
ocedures.Remove the cover under the
center deck board to find the
spare tire clamp bolt.
Assemble the jack handle.Put the socket adapter on
the spare tire clamp bolt.
Loosen the bolt by turning
it counterclockwise with the
jack handle.

Smart Stop Technology® automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\
per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling
backward. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
s traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC\
reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore \
traction
and vehicle control.
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s\
only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than
just the driver alone can. Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning whe\
n starting
the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help
maintain stability and balance when braking. Abrupt stops cause the vehi\
cle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to \
sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to maximize the braking effectivenes\
s of all four
wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), A\
nti-lock Brake
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assis\
t (BA) and
Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
