When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.

■ Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
● Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the set vehicle speed.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
● VSC is activated.
● TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC, TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
● 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 constant speed 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.
■ The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly in conditions in which RSA may not operate or detect correctly
( P. 365), when using this function, make sure to check the speed limit
sign displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed may not be changed to the recog-
nized speed limit by pushing the lever up or down.
● If speed limit information is not available
● When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
● When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
■ Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■ Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction 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
instructions. ( P. 337, 643)

Four-wheel drive system
H2 (high speed position, two-
wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry
hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest
ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks
that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads.
This position provides greater trac-
tion than two-wheel drive.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on
L4 (low speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use L4 for climbing or descend-
ing steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud or deep
snow.
The four-wheel drive and low speed four-wheel drive indicator lights
come on
The A.D.D. can be engaged or disengaged by the shifting operations
described in the following shifting procedures.

■ If an odor comes from the air conditioning system while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start system
Vehicles with manual air conditioning system:
If the idling stop time is set to “Long”, change the setting to “Normal”. If an
odor occurs even when “Normal” is selected, press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system:
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
■ Changing the idling stop time with the air conditioning system on
The length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air condition-
ing system is on can be changed by performing the following operation. (The
length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air conditioning
system is off cannot be changed.)
Use the meter control switches to select while the vehicle is stopped
and press , and select and press .
Select “Normal” or “Long”, and then press .
■ The Stop & Start system protection function
● When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to reduce battery
consumption. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start sy stem) or off (vehicles with smart entry
& start system), wait for 3 seconds or longer and then turn it to the “ACC” or
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system), or ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem) to re-enable the audio system.
● The audio system may not be activated when the battery terminals are dis-
connected and then reconnected. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to
the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system), and then repeat the following
operation twice to activate the audio system normally.
• Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry
& start system), or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start
system), and then to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system).

■Operating tips (vehicles with automatic transmission)
The system will operate when the shift lever is in a position other than P, how-
ever to make effective use of the system it is recommended to select a lower
shift range.
■ The system will not operate when
● The transfer mode is in H2.
● The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
■ If the downhill assist control system indicator flashes
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes and the system will not oper-
ate:
• The transfer mode is not in L4 or H4.
• The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
• The shift lever is in P. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 30 km/h (18 mph).
• The brake system overheats.
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes to alert the driver, but the
system will operate:
• The shift lever is in N. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The clutch pedal is depressed. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The “DAC” switch is turned off while the system is operating.
The system will gradually ceases operat ion. The indicator will flash during
operation, and then go off when the system is fully off.
■ When the downhill assist control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the downhill
assist control system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the downhill
assist control system indicator will start flashing, and “TRC turned off” is
shown on the multi-information display. Refrain from using the system until
the downhill assist control system indicator stays on and “TRC turned off” dis-
played on the multi-information display goes out. (The vehicle can be driven
normally during this time.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the downhill assist control system
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in downhill assist control system.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the downhill assist control
system is operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
