To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed
is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired direc-
tion.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in
the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time the lever is
operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continu-
ally until the lever is released.
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brakes are applied or the
clutch pedal (manual transmission
only) is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the constant speed control.
Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately
40 km/h (25 mph).

■Shifting from H4 to L4
Stop the vehicle.
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the vehicle is mov-
ing.
Firmly depress the clutch
pedal.
Keep depressing the clutch
pedal until switching the transfer
mode is completed (indicator
on).
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the clutch pedal is
not fully depressed.
Push and turn the front-
wheel drive control switch to
L4.
The low speed four-wheel drive
indicator light flashes while
switching.
If turning the front-wheel drive
control switch without following
steps and , the low speed
four-wheel drive indicator light
flashes and a buzzer sounds.
Return the front-wheel drive
control switch to H4 and try
steps and again.
If the clutch pedal is released while the low speed four-wheel drive indi-
cator light is flashing, gear noise may be caused. Immediately depress
the clutch pedal firmly and wait until switching the transfer mode is com-
pleted.

WARNING
■When the Stop & Start system is operating
● Keep the shift lever in N (manual transmission), depress the brake pedal
and apply the parking brake when necessary while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on).
● Do not allow anyone to leave the vehicle while the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on).
An accident may occur due to the automatic engine start function.
● Ensure that the engine is not stopped by the Stop & Start system while the
vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area. The engine may restart due to the
automatic engine start function, causing exhaust gases to collect and
enter the vehicle, possibly resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
■ Off-road driving precaution
When driving off-road, such as driving through water, press the Stop & Start
cancel switch to disable the Stop & Start system. Failure to do so may
cause the engine to be unable to restart.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the system operates correctly
If any of the following situations occur, the Stop & Start system may not
operate correctly. Have your vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● While the driver’s seat belt is fastened, the driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belt reminder light flashes.
● Even though the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt reminder light does not illuminate.
● Even though the driver’s door is closed, the open door warning is dis-
played on the multi-information display or the interior light is illuminated
when door linked illumination is enabled ( P. 512).
● Even though the driver’s door is open, the open door warning is not dis-
played on the multi-information display or the interior light does not illumi-
nate when door linked illumination is enabled ( P. 512).

■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer
Sway Control, TRC, A-TRC and the hill-start assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control
systems
After turning the TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems off, the
systems will be automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
● When the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
● If only the TRC/A-TRC system is turned off, the TRC/A-TRC will turn on
when vehicle speed increases.
If the TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off,
automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ Operating conditions of the hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are me t, the hill-start assist control will
operate:
● Vehicles with automatic transmission: The shift lever is in a position other
than P or N (when starting off forward/backward on an upward incline)
Vehicles with manual transmission: The shift lever is in a position other than
R when starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is in R
when starting off backward on an upward incline.
● The vehicle is stopped
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed
● The parking brake is not engaged
■ Automatic system cancelation of the hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:
● Vehicles with automatic transmission: The shift lever is shifted to P or N
Vehicles with manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when start-
ing off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than
R when starting off backward on an upward incline.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed
● The parking brake is engaged
● 2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the brake pedal is released

■Operating tips (vehicles with automatic transmission)
The system will operate when the shift lever is in a position other than P, how-
ever to make effective use of the system it is recommended to select a lower
shift range.
■ The system will not operate when
● The transfer mode is in H2.
● The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
■ If the downhill assist control system indicator flashes
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes and the system will not oper-
ate:
• The transfer mode is not in L4 or H4.
• The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
• The shift lever is in P. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 30 km/h (18 mph).
• The brake system overheats.
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes to alert the driver, but the
system will operate:
• The shift lever is in N. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The clutch pedal is depressed. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The “DAC” switch is turned off while the system is operating.
The system will gradually ceases operat ion. The indicator will flash during
operation, and then go off when the system is fully off.
■ When the downhill assist control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the downhill
assist control system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the downhill
assist control system indicator will start flashing, and “TRC turned off” is
shown on the multi-information display. Refrain from using the system until
the downhill assist control system indicator stays on and “TRC turned off” dis-
played on the multi-information display goes out. (The vehicle can be driven
normally during this time.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the downhill assist control system
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in downhill assist control system.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the downhill assist control
system is operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
