■Parking brake operation
●When the engine switch is not in
ON, the parking brake cannot be
released using the parking brake
switch.
●When the engine switch is not in
ON, automatic mode (automatic
brake setting and releasing [vehi-
cles with a continuously variable
transmission]) is not available.
■Parking brake automatic
release function
The parking brake is automatically
released when slowly depress the
accelerator pedal.
The parking brake will be released
automatically under the following
conditions:
●The driver’s door is closed
●The driver is wearing the seat belt
●The shift lever is a forward or
reverse position.
●The malfunction in dicator lamp or
brake system warning light is not
illuminated.
If the automatic release function
does not operate, manually release
the parking brake.
■If “Parking Brake Temporarily
Unavailable” is displayed on
the multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated
repeatedly over a short period of
time, the system may restrict opera-
tion to prevent overheating. If this
happens, refrain from operating the
parking brake. Norm al operation will return after about 1 minute.
■If “Parking Brake Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Operate the parking brake switch. If
the message does not disappear
after operating the switch several
times, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
■Parking brake operation sound
When the parking brake operates, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may
be heard. This does not indicate a
malfunction.

Turn the brake hold system on
The brake hold standby indicator
(green) comes on. While the
system is holding the brake, the
brake hold operated indicator (yel-
low) comes on.
WARNING
■When parking the vehicle
Do not leave a child in the vehicle
alone. The parking brake may be
released unintentionally and there
is the danger of the vehicle mov-
ing that may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Parking brake switch
Do not set any objects near the
parking brake switch.
Objects may interfere with the
switch and may lead the parking
brake to unexpectedly operate.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
Before you leave the vehicle, set
the parking brake, shift the shift
lever to P (continuously variable
transmission) or N (manual trans-
mission) and make sure that the
vehicle does not move.
■When the system malfunc-
tions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and check the warning messages.
■When the parking brake can-
not be released due to a mal-
function
Driving the vehicle with the park-
ing brake set will lead to brake
components overheating, which
may affect braking performance
and increase brake wear.
Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer immediately if
this occurs.
Brake Hold*
 Continuously variable trans-
mission
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever
is in D, B (vehicles without paddle
shift switches), M (vehicles with
paddle shift switches) or N with
the system on and the brake
pedal has been depressed to
stop the vehicle. The system
releases the brake when the
accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in D, B (vehi-
cles without paddle shift
switches) or M (vehicles with
paddle shift switches) to allow
smooth start off.
Manual transmission
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever
is in a forward driving position or
N with the system on and the
brake pedal has been depressed
to stop the vehicle. The system
releases the brake when the
accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in a forward
driving position to allow smooth
start off.

on after they illuminate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.

Operating instructions

1944-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA_U• When driving through steam or
smoke
• When the surrounding area is dim,
such as at dawn or dusk, or while
at night or in a tunnel, making a
detectable object appear to be
nearly the same color as its sur-
roundings
• When driving in a place where the
surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance
or exit of 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 making a
left/right turn
• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a
curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front camera
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or front camera is misaligned
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, sufficient braking force
may not be obtained, preventing
the system from performing prop-
erly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as
when the brake parts are
extremely cold, extremely hot, or
wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main- tained (brakes or tires are exces- sively worn, improper tire inflation
pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven
on a gravel road or other slippery
surface
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.252), the
pre-collision brake assist and
pre-collision braking functions are
also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on
and “VSC Turned OFF Pre-Colli-
sion Brake System Unavailable”
will be displayed on the
multi-information display.

2164-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA_U
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehi-
cle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable
following distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may
become shorter.
Example of const ant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahea d of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to ch anges 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 suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, yo ur vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+RES” switch or depressing the acce lerator pedal (start-off operation) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-of f operation is not performed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.

while driving at 50 mph (8 0 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
