● Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the camera sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the camera sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
● The front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
● The surrounding brightness is not sufficient or changes suddenly.
● When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is recognized.
● The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
● The navigation system map data is old.
● The navigation system is not operating.
● The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
navigation system may be different due to the navigation system using map
data.
■ Speed limit sign display
If the engine switch was last turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi-information display, the
same sign displays again when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings.
● The dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead:
 P. 381
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly: P. 382
● Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
● Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, t he driver must always remain alert,
assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying solely on this
system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Switch the dynamic radar cruise control setting to off, using the “ON-OFF”
button when not in use.

■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
● The shift lever is in D. (Vehicles with automatic transmission)
● The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
● Depending on the control mode, this item can be set at the following
speeds.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more
• Constant speed control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ Shift position selection (vehicles with manual transmission)
Select a shift position according to the vehicle speed. If the engine speed is
too high or too low, control may be automatically canceled.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
● VSC is activated.
● TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC, TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
● 4WD models: Switching the transfer mode is not completed within 5 sec-
onds while the cruise control system is on.
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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.

■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the
brake pedal when deceleration 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 vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 376) 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-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (or accelera-
tor pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
● When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
● When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
a bridge
● While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
● When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
● When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable

When trouble arises
*9: The parking brake engaged warning buzzer sounds if the vehicle reaches a
speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
■ Passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
● If luggage is placed on the passenger seat, the front passenger detection
sensor or the rear passenger detecti on sensor (if equipped) may cause the
warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound even if a passenger
is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle imme-
diately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer as soon
as possible.
■ If the DPF system warning light comes on (if equipped)
The deposit collected in the filter needs to be regenerated.
