TURNING SYSTEM ON/OFF
ADJUSTING SET SPEED
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected first when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode is also
available.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected distance from a
slower vehicle traveling in front and accelerate back up to the selected speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.

(1) Push the ON-OFF button. The “RADAR READY” or “
” indicator will come on.
(2) Push the lever down to SET speed, push it up to Resume and pull it or depress
brake to Cancel.
(3) Push up to increase the set speed, push down to decrease (1 mph increments).
(3) (1)
Note: If DRCC is turned off and
you hold the ON-OFF button for
at least 1.5 seconds, the system
switches to constant speed
control mode.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL
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.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
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.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
