A vehicle driving ahead of you is
only detected when it is fully in your
driving path.
If another vehicle suddenly pulls
out in front of you, the system might
not be able to re-establish the
selected distance of its own accord.
In some circumstances, it may also
not be possible to restore the
selected distance if you are driving
significantly faster than vehicles in
front, for example when rapidly
approaching a lorry. If a vehicle is
clearly detected in front of you, the
system prompts you to intervene by
braking, and if necessary by taking
evasive action.If the desired speed is too high for
cornering, it will be reduced slightly
in the bend. However, the system
does not detect bends in advance.
For this reason, moderate your
speed when cornering.
The system has a limited detection
range. Situations can arise on tight
bends where a vehicle driving in
front will not be detected or will be
detected very late.
When your vehicle is approaching a
bend, the angle of the bend may
cause the system to respond tem-
porarily to vehicles in the other
lane. If the system responds by
decelerating the vehicle, you may
compensate for this by accelerating
briefly. When the accelerator pedal
is released again, the system will
resume control of the vehicle's
speed.
The vehicle cannot drive off auto-
matically in some situations, for
example:
On steep upward gradients.
Before bumps or rises in the Vehicles pulling out

In such cases, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
The following restrictions may apply
if the weather or lighting conditions
are unfavourable:
Impaired detection of vehicles.
Brief interruptions when vehicles
have already been detected.
Examples of unfavourable weather
or lighting conditions:
Wet roads.
Snowfall.
Slush.
Fog.
Oncoming light.
Pay attention when driving and
respond to the prevailing traffic con-
ditions. If necessary, intervene
actively, for example by braking,
steering or manoeuvring.
The desired speed is also main-
tained on a downhill stretch. The
vehicle may drive slower than the
desired speed on uphill gradients if
the engine power is not sufficient.The system cannot be activated if
the radar sensor is not correctly
aligned, for example following park-
ing damage.
A vehicle message is displayed if
the system has failed.
Have the system checked by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The system may have limited func-
tionality if the radar sensor detec-
tion range is partially covered, for
example by the number plate
holder.
The function for detecting and
responding to stationary vehicles
when approaching may be limited
in the following situation:
During the camera calibration
process immediately after vehi-
cle delivery.
Failure or soiling of the camera.

WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your personal responsibility to assess
the traffic situation correctly. Due to

side ultrasonic sensors may also be
reported by the flank protection,
see page 240, function.
The ultrasonic sensors for measur-
ing distances are located in the
bumpers, and if applicable on the
side of the vehicle.
Their range is approximately 2 m, 6
ft, depending on the obstacle and
environment.
An acoustic warning sounds in the
event of an imminent collision at a
distance of approx. 70 cm, 27 in,
from the object.
In the case of objects behind the
vehicle, the acoustic warning is
given sooner, at a distance of
approx. 1.50 m, 5 ft.
To ensure full functional capability:
Do not cover sensors, for exam-
ple by stickers, bicycle rack.
Keep the sensors clean and
unobstructed. General

■General
An intermittent sound indicates the
position of an object accordingly as
the vehicle approaches it. For
instance, if an object is identified to
the rear left of the vehicle, the
acoustic signal is emitted from the
rear left loudspeaker.
The shorter the distance to an
object, the shorter the intervals
become.
If the distance to a detected object
is less than approximately 25 cm,
10 in, a continuous tone sounds.
