ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicl\
e-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distanc\
e from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
LONG
(default setting) MIDDLE
SHORT
(1) (2) (3)
(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 dis\
tance
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 automaticall\
y
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 a\
head
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.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in

when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

be displayed on the Multi-Information Display.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or repl\
aced, turn
the “POWER” switch to IGNITION ON mode and press and hold the “
SET”
button until indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few\
minutes to allow

indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains on,
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.

The warning light may come on

due to temperature changes or
changes in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been
initialized recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should
turn off the light.
