SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE

first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
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 distance
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 automatically
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 ahead
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 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.
