2264-5. 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 turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane
while driving at 50 mph (8 0 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.

When a vehicle is detected in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot, the outside
rear view mirror indicator on the
detected side will illuminate. If the
turn signal lever is operated toward
the detected side, the outside rear
view mirror indicator flashes.

In strong sunlight, the outside rear

■When “Blind Spot Monitor
Unavailable” is shown on the
multi-information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors. ( P.238) The system
should return to normal operation
after removing the ice, snow, mud,
etc. from the rear bumper. Addition-
ally, the sensors may not operate
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. A lways drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or is approaching rapidly
from behind into a blind spot. Do
not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. As the function cannot
judge if it is safe to change lanes,
over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.

Maintenance and care
■LED light bulbs
The lights other than the front turn
signal lights/parking lights (vehicles
without side turn signal lights), front
side marker lights, rear turn signal
lights, rear side marker lights (bulb
type) and back-up lights consist of a
number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs
burn out, take your vehicle to your
Toyota dealer to have the light
replaced.
■Condensation build-up on the
inside of the lens
In certain situations, such as when
driving in the rain or when washing
the vehicle, condensation may form
on the inner side of the headlight
lens and other lights. As each light
has a ventilation hole, moist air may
enter. If the ambient temperature is
low, condensation may form tempo-
rarily, but it will dissipate as the
inside of the light is warmed up. As
the condensation is due to a phe-
nomenon similar to windows fogging
in the rain, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
Contact your Toyota dealer for more
information in th e following situa-
tions:
●Large drops of water have built up
on the inside of the lens.
●Water has built up inside the
headlight.
