■When driving with dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving
mode to sport mode with the intent
of enabling engine braking, engine
braking will not occur because
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range will not be can-
celed. ( P.249)
■Restraining sudden start
(Drive-Start Control)
 P. 1 3 6
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a
suitable gear for sporty driving
according to driver’s input and driv-
ing conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates
automatically when the shift lever is
in D and sport mode is selected for
the driving mode. (Selecting normal
mode or shifting the shift lever to the
M position cancels this function.)
■After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
 P. 5 1 8
:While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed
*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release
button on the shift knob.
:Shift the shift lever while
pushing the shift release button
on the shift knob.
:Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever
between P and D, make sure that
the vehicle is completely stopped
and the brake pedal is depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted from P, the brake pedal
must be depressed before the
shift release button is pushed. If
the shift release button is pushed
first, the shift lock will not be
released.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift
gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine brak-
ing may cause the vehicle to spin
or skid, resulting in an accident.

engine speed is too high, or too
low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 10 levels of
engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide
greater engine braking force than
a higher gear step, and the engine
speed will also increase.
■When the vehicle comes to a
stop with the shift lever in the M
position
●The transmission will automati-
cally downshift to M1 once the
vehicle is stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start
off in M1.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission is set at M1.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, downshifting opera-
tion may sometimes be restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
shift lever or paddle shift switch is
operated. (A buzzer will sound
twice.)
■If the 10-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode indicator does
not come on even after shifting
the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in
the continuously variable transmis-
sion system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission
will operate in the same manner as
when the shift lever is in D.)
■Continuously variable transmis-
sion fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning
parts targeted (all of the solenoids
that perform the shifting function) by
the On-Board Diagnostics, and per- forms fail-safe me
chanisms, such
as restricting the shifting function or
transmission ratio control.
In this event, the malfunction indica-
tor lamp turns 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.
Enabling the system

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.

Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accor-
dance with vehicle speed. When
the vehicle is stopped by system
control, the vehicle stops at a
certain vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance depending on the situa-
tion.
After the vehicle ahead of you
starts off, press the “+RES”
switch.
Your vehicle will also resume
follow-up cruising if the acceler- ator pedal is depressed after the
vehicle ahead of you starts off.

■Dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range can be set
when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set
when the vehicle speed is approx-
imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed
is set while driving at below
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h],
the set speed will be set to
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
■Accelerating after setting the
vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by oper-
ating the accelerator pedal. After
accelerating, the set speed
resumes. However, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease below the set speed in
order to maintain th e distance to the
preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while
follow-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while
the vehicle ahead stops will
resume follow-up cruising if the
vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds after the
switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off
within 3 seconds after your vehicle
stops, follow-up cruising will be
resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled in
the following situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of
time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect cor-
rectly because it is covered in
some way.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system
control on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when
the vehicle has been stopped by
system control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for
about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled for
any reasons other than the above,
there may be a malfunction in the
system. Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of con-
stant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is
automatically canceled in the follow-
ing situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
