■G-force display
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pres sure dis-
play may not reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is
fully depressed.
● If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the stee ring
amount display may be disabled te mporarily. After driving the vehicle for
a while, the display will be enabled.
■ Suspension of the settings display
●The settings cannot be changed while driving. When changing settings,
park the vehicle in a safe place.
● If a warning message is displayed, operation of the settings display will
be suspended.
■ Using the stopwatch
If the engine is stopped while the stopwatch is operating, the stopwatch will
stop and the time up to that point will be recorded.
■ Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct outside temperature ma y not be
displayed.
• When the vehicle is very hot, such as when under the sun.
• When the vehicle is idling or being driven at low speeds such as in a
traffic jam or when the engine is stopped and then restarted immedi-
ately afterward.
• When the actual outside temperature is outside of the indicato r range.
● If “  ” is displayed for approximately 1 minute or more or if the out side
temperature is not displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no prob lem continuing to
use the display.

■Daytime running light system
●The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking
lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of th e following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use
at night.)
• The engine is running
• The shift lever is shifted out of P (Vehicles with an automati c transmis-
sion)
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is off or in the “AUTO”
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate even if the parking
brake is set again.
● When the turn signal indicators are flashing, the daytime runni ng light on
the side that the turn signals are flashing will turn off.
● When the emergency flashers are flashing, both daytime running lights
will turn off.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running ligh t system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

■Cruise control can be set when
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
●The shift lever is in D or M and the vehicle is in the 2
nd gear or higher.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
Vehicles with a manual transmission
● The vehicle is in the 2
nd gear or higher.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
■ Canceling and resuming the constant speed control
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also can-
celed when the brakes are
applied or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission only) is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up
resumes the constant
speed control.
Resuming is available when
the vehicle speed is more
than approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h).

When driving
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavi ly when operating the vehicle.
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenl y, o r i f
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
■ Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
■ TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery road s.
The TRAC system is also equipped with the brake LSD function.
■ Hill-start assist control

P. 252
■EPS (Electric Po wer Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel

246 2-4. Using other driving systems
When the TRAC/VSC systems are operatingThe slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC (brake LSD
function)/VSC systems are oper-
ating.
Disabling the TRAC systemIf the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the engine to the wheels. Pressing to turn
the system off may make it easier for you to rock the vehicle i n order
to free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function remains on.
To turn the TRAC system off,
quickly press and release the
button.
The “TRAC OFF” indicator light
will come on.
Press the button again to turn the
system back on.

When driving
“TRACK” mode
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of control modes to acc om-
modate various driving preferenc es. The control modes can be
selected with the “TRACK” switch. Normal mode allows secure and
smooth normal driving. When the switch is pressed and held for 1
second or more, “TRACK” mode is activated. Control characteristics
such as the VSC and TRAC are adj usted to afford maneuverability
closer to what a driver may desire, while a sense of security i s
retained.
“TRACK” mode/Normal mode
The “TRACK” indicator and VSC
off indicator come on when in
“TRACK” mode.
To change back to normal mode
while in “TRACK” mode, press
or the “TRACK” switch.
Turning off both TR AC and VSC systems
To turn the TRAC and VSC systems off, press and hold for
more than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped.
The “TRAC OFF” indicator light and the VSC off indicator light will
come on.
However, on vehicles with an automatic transmission, the brake LSD
function will remain on.
Press the button again to turn the systems back on.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC and
VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or ju st after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction
has occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above system s are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occur red.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activa ted.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring so und) may
be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati-
cally reactivated in the following situations:
● Vehicles without a smart key system: When the engine switch is turned to
“LOCK” position
● Vehicles with a smart key system: When the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned off
● If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle
speed is more than approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reac tivation
will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
