Dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed
range
In vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, the
vehicle automatically accel-
erates, decelerates and
stops to match the speed
changes of the preceding
vehicle even if the accelera-
tor pedal is not depressed.
In constant speed control
mode, the vehicle runs at a
fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar
cruise control with
full-speed range on free-
ways and highways.

■Before using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range
●Driving safely is the sole
responsibility of the driver. Do
not rely solely on the system,
and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attent ion to your sur-
roundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range pro-
vides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden.
However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the followin g conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.

ahead:

2744-5. Using the driving support systems
HIGHLANDER HV_UWhen the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t
o a left lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h ) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constan t speed cruising.
1Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
If the cruise cont rol main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds
or more, the syste m turns on in
constant speed control mode.
(  P.277)
2 Accelerate or decelerate,
with accelerator pedal opera-
tion, to the desired vehicle
speed (at or above approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h])
and press the “-SET” switch
to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will
come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment
the switch is released becomes the
set speed.
Adjusting the set speed by the
switch
To change the set speed, press
the “+RES” or “-SET” switch
until the desired set speed is
displayed.

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.

Pressing the cancel switch
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been
stopped by system control,
depressing the br ake pedal does
not cancel the setting.)

resumes the cruise control
and returns vehicle speed to

Driving
When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the
driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front
of you while you are following a
vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
small.
 When the speed of the pre-
ceding vehicle matches or
exceeds your vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
 Immediately after the cruise
control speed was set 
When depressing the acceler-
ator pedal
When constant speed control
mode is selected, your vehicle
will maintain a set speed without
controlling the vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance. Select this mode
only when vehicle- to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode does not
function correctly due to a dirty
radar, etc.
1 With the cruise control off,
press and hold the cruise
control main switch for 1.5
seconds or more.
Immediately after the switch is
pressed, the dynamic radar cruise
control indicator will come on. After-
wards, it switches to the cruise con-
trol indicator.
Switching to const ant speed control
mode is only possible when operat-
ing the switch with the cruise con-
trol off.

tion, to the desired vehicle

Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be
heard and the brake pedal response
may change, but the se are not mal-
functions.
■Warning messages and buzzers
for dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunc-
tion or to inform the driver of the
need for caution while driving. If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instruc-
tions.( P.247, 470)
■When the sensor may not be
correctly detecting the vehicle
ahead
In the case of the following and
depending on the conditions, oper-
ate the brake pedal when decelera-
tion of the system is insufficient or
operate the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect these types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning
(  P.277) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends
(trailers with no load on board,
etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same
lane
●When water or snow thrown up by
the surrounding vehicles hinders
the detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load
in the luggage compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an
extremely high ground clearance
■Conditions under which the
vehicle-to-vehic le distance con-
trol mode may not function cor-
rectly
In the case of the following condi-
tions, operate the brake pedal (or
accelerator pedal, depending on the
situation) as necessary.

Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors. ( P.282) 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
normally when drivin g in extremely
hot or cold environments.

■Handling the rear side radar
sensor
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed behind t he left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message ( P.281) will
be displayed. In this situation,
clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation con-
