When the adaptive cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible.When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2 (SET+) or 3 (SET-), which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.
The speed regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front.Above this, the system goes into pause if the safe distance becomes too small.The adaptive cruise control uses only engine braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing the accelerator pedal.The system is paused automatically:- if the vehicle in front slows down too much or too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,- if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front,- if the system does not slow the vehicle enough to continue to maintain a safe distance, for example when descending a steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
- vehicles of reduced width, such as motorcycles, for example,
- vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
- vehicles entering a corner,- vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take account of:- stationary vehicles,- vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

In the event of a fault with the adaptive cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal and display of the message message "Driving aid functions fault".Have the system checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Operating faultThe adaptive cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
When the cruise control is working, take care if making a maintained press on one of the cruise control programmed speed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in the speed of your vehicle.Do not use the adaptive cruise control on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.When ascending a steep hill or when towing, it might not be possible to achieve or maintain the programmed speed.
The use of mats not approved by Toyota may inter fere with the operation of the adaptive cruise control.To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:- ensure that mats are secured c o r r e c t l y,- never fit one mat on top of another.It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking.The regulation range is limited: there will no longer be any adjustment of speed if the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front becomes too high.
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any circumstances replace the observation of speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance on the part of the driver.

The Autonomous emergency braking system does not operate:- if the front bumper is damaged,- if the system has been triggered in the last 10 seconds,- if the electronic stability control system has a fault.
Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu in the following cases:- if the windscreen has impact damage close to the detection camera,- when towing a trailer or caravan,- when a load on the roof rack extends beyond the windscreen (for example: long objects),- when the vehicle is being towed, with the engine running,- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is fitted (if your vehicle has one),- when on a rolling road for a service in a workshop,- when in an automatic car wash,- if the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system is automatically disabled; contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked.
Forward collision warning
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, different levels of alert can be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle time between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you that the vehicle ahead is very close.A message on your vigilance is displayed as you close on the vehicle ahead.
This information also appears in the head-up display.For more information on the Head-up display, refer to the corresponding section.
Driving
245
This level of alert is based on the time before collision. It takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning you that a collision is imminent.A message indicating that you should brake is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too high approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed di r e c t l y.Furthermore, the level 1 alert is never displayed with the "Close" threshold.Poor weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulation of snow in front of the radar and the camera) may hinder the operation of the system, with the display of an operating fault message. The system remains out of service until the message disappears.
Programming the alert thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine how you wish to be warned of the presence of a vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a pedestrian in your traffic lane.You can select one of three thresholds:- "Distant", to be warned early (cautious driving).- "Normal".- "Close", to be warned later.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/deactivate "Collision risk alert and automatic braking".

This system, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle (between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h)) where the driver fails to react.Using a radar and a camera, this system acts on the vehicle's braking system.
Autonomous emergency
braking
The driver can take back control of the vehicle at any time by sharply turning the steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
Operation of the system may be felt by slight vibration in the brake pedal.If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 seconds.If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, in the event of the automatic emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, in the event of the automatic emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, the vehicle will move off again; press the brake pedal.
If automatic emergency braking is not activated, you are alerted by the fixed display of this warning lamp accompanied by a message.
If the radar and the camera have confirmed the presence of a vehicle or a pedestrian, this warning lamp flashes when the system is operating.
Important: if operation of the automatic emergency braking is triggered, you should take back control of your vehicle and brake with the pedal to add to or finish the automatic braking.

Driver Attention Alert
The system resets itself if one of the following conditions is met:- engine running, the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes,- the ignition has been switched off for a few minutes,- the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes into standby.The driving time is counted again once the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
The system triggers an alert once it detects that the driver has not taken a break after two hours of driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.Depending on version, the vehicle either has the "Driving time warning system" only, or this combined with the "Driver Attention Alert".
Driving time warning
With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration" menu, activate/deactivate "Fatigue Detection System".
Activation / Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
This alert takes the form of the display of a message encouraging you to take a break, accompanied by an audible signal.If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/deactivate "Fatigue Detection System".

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper.Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake, roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they are located in blind spots in the
sensors' field of detection.
Parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse g e a r.This is confirmed by an audible signal.The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
Rear parking sensors
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the screen or the instrument panel which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.
Visual assistance
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.

Reversing camera with display in the interior mirror
The visual aid reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The function may be completed with parking sensors.
Opening the rear tailgate or rear door (depending on equipment) can interfere with the display.If a side door is open, allow for the space it occupies.
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens regularly.Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror.
High pressure jet washing (if muddy, for example)When washing your vehicle, do not place the tip of the lance within 30 cm of the camera as there is a risk of damaging it.The blue lines represent the width of your vehicle including the mirrors.The red line represents a distance of 30 cm from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines respectively 1 m (A) and 2 m (B).
