TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-v\
ehicle
camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail light\
s of
preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low bea\
ms
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
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 swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
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 dis\
tance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appearsWhen 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 brake 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.
(3) Acceleration when there are no
longer any preceding vehicles driving
slower than the set speedThe 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.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights
turned on.
• There are few street lights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automatically turn off
high beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights
turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
