• If a vehicle ahead makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving,
acceleration or deceleration)
• When suddenly cutting behind a preceding vehicle
• When  driving  in  inclement  weather  such  as  heavy  rain,  fog,  snow  or  a sandstorm
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc., from a veh icle ahead
• When driving through steam or smoke
• When driving in  a place where the  surrounding brightness changes  sud-
denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• When  a  very  bright  light,  such  as  the  sun  or  the  headlights  of  oncoming traffic, shines directly into the camera sensor
• When  the  surrounding  area  is  dim,  such  as  at  dawn  or  dusk,  or  while  at
night or in a tunnel
• After the engine has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain
amount of time
• While  making  a  left/right  turn  and  for  a  few  seconds  after  mak ing  a  left/
right turn

Example of 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-ve hicle  dis-
tance switch.
Example of deceleration crui sing 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  s peed  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.
Approach  warning  warns  you  when  the  system  cannot  decelerate  su ffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle  ahead.
Example of 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  syst em  then
returns to constant speed cruising.

■When the front-wheel drive cont rol switch is shifted to “4L”
VSC is automatically turned off.
■ If the “4HI” indicator flashes
The  transfer  mode  may  not  successfully  change.  Drive  straight  a head  while
accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
■ If the “4LO” indicator continues to flash
The  transfer  mode  may  not  successfully  change.  Operate  the  fron t-wheel
drive control switch again.
■ If the “4LO” indicator continues to flash and a buzzer sounds
The shift lever is not in N and/or the vehicle is moving. Stop the vehicle com-
pletely, shift the shift lever to N and make sure that the indi cator stops flash-
ing.
■ If the “4HI” or “4LO” indicator flashes rapidly
There may be a malfunction in the four-wheel drive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ Four-wheel drive usage frequency
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 10 miles (16  km) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated .
WARNING
■Shifting the front-wheel drive control switch from “2WD” to “4H ” while
driving
Never operate the front-wheel drive control switch if the wheels are slipping. 
Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the “4LO” indicator turns on/off, the transfer
mode  may  not  be  shifted  completely.  The  transfer  mode  disengage s  both
the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows t he vehicle to
move  regardless  of  the  shift  position.  (At  this  time,  the  indic ator  blinks  and
the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic tr ansmission is in
P. You  or  someone  else  could  be  seriously  injured. You  must  com plete  the
shifting of the transfer mode before placing transmission in P.
