TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
ADJUSTING DISTANCE
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 vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
(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 brake 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.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
1 The set speed may be resumed once vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph.2 The set speed may also be cancelled by depressing the brake pedal.
Full-Speed Range

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the p\
receding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected firs\
t when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode i\
s also
available. Full-Speed Range DRCC is designed to function at speeds betwe\
en 0 to
approximately 110 MPH and is intended for highway use.

Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected dist\
ance 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 “
” to turn DRCC system ON.
(2) Use the steering wheel controls to increase speed by pushing “+RES” or
decrease the speed by pushing “-SET”. Push and hold to make a large
adjustment or push each time to make fine adjustments (1 mph [1.6 km/h] or 1
km/h [0.6 mph] increments).

SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) 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 swit\
ch.
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 o\

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime and reduce glare for oncoming drivers. When enabled, AHB uses \
an
in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and\
tail lights
of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low \
beams
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.
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, turn the headlight switch to “AUTO” position.
(2) Push lever away from you.
(3) Press the “
” switch.
The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automat\
ically
to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off. To turn switch to “
” position and the manual
high beam indicator “
” turns on.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned on
(after approximately 1 second): • Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h.)
• 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 automaticall\
y 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 lightsturned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
