Example of follow-up cruising
When following a preceding vehicle that is driving slower than the
set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of 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.
Press the “ON-OFF” button to
activate the cruise control.
Radar cruise control indicator will
come on and a message is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
Press the button again to deacti-
vate the cruise control.
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed
(above approximately 30 mph
[50 km/h]) and push the lever
down to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will
come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever is released becomes the set
speed.

Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the speed control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, when a vehicle ahead is not detected in vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, cruise control does not resume when the actual vehi-
cle speed is approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less. Also, when the
vehicle is in constant speed control mode and the actual vehicle speed is
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less, cruise control does not resume as
the set speed is cleared.
When your vehicle is too close to
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the
cruise control is not possible, the
display 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.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will
not occur:
● When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
● When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● When depressing the accelerator pedal

When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controllin g the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
does not function corr ectly due to dirt, etc.
Press the “ON-OFF” button to
activate the cruise control.
Press the button again to deacti-
vate the cruise control.
Switch to constant speed con-
trol mode.
(Push the lever forward and
hold for approximately 1 sec-
ond.)
Cruise control indicator will come on.
When in constant speed control mode, to return to vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, push the lever forward again and hold for approxi-
mately 1 second.
After the desired speed has been set, it is not possible to return to ve\
hicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode.
If the power switch is turned off and then turned to ON mode again, the
vehicle will automatically return to vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode.

■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
●The shift position is in D.
However, it cannot be set when in Br mode.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-t o-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations:
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF
switch
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● The windshield wipers are operating at high speed (when the wiper switch is
set to the “AUTO” mode or the high speed wiper operation position).
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● Br mode shift operation was done.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any
other reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
■ Automatic cancelation of constant speed control
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
● Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below
the set vehicle speed.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF
switch
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● Br mode shift operation was done.

Radar sensor and grille cover
Always keep the sensor and grille cover clean to ensure that the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode operates properly. (Some obstructions, such
as snow, ice and plastic objects, cannot be detected by the obstruction sen-
sor.)
Dynamic radar cruise control is canceled if an obstruction is detected.
■ Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the
instructions.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control
Do not overly rely on vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
Be aware of the set speed. If automatic deceleration/acceleration is not
appropriate, adjust the vehicle speed, as well as the distance between your
vehicle and vehicles ahead by applying the brakes, etc.
■ Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is only intended to help the driver in
determining the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a
designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows care-
less or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings.
● Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control determines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is appropriate or not. It is not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain
vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of danger in
any given situation.
● Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control has no capability to prevent or avoid a
collision with a vehicle traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any dan-
ger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
■ To avoid inadvertent dynamic radar cruise control activation
Switch the dynamic radar cruise control off using the “ON/OFF” button when
not in use.

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
● Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclers, etc.
● In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On sharp inclines or declines
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
● Roads with continuous inclines and declines
● At entrances to freeways and highways
● When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
● When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
● During emergency towing
■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the
brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning ( →P. 208) will not be activated, which may lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
