ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance
Push the “
” button
to cycle through the
settings, which will change
progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
(1) (2) (3)
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a slower vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system
automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle
speed is necessary, the system may apply the brakes (the brake lights will
come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the
vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently
to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, 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.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push button again to turn the system off
first, then push and hold button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the vehicle is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
(3) 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 constant speed cruising.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE (CONTINUED)
To adjust speed or cancel, see steps (2) and (3) of ADJUSTING SET SPEED on

OVERVIEW FEATURES & OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Automatic High Beams (AHB) safety system is designed to help you see
more clearly at night. At speeds above 25 mph, AHB can detect the headlights of
oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggles
between high and low beams accordingly.
See www.toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
(1) Turn the headlight switch to the ““ or “AUTO” position.
(2) Press the “
” switch.
The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automatically
to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Push the lever away from you to manually turn on high beams. Press the
AHB switch to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off and “
” or “” will turn on. To activate the
system again, pull the lever its original position or press the “
” switch.
When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be automatically
turned on (after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights
turned on.
• There are few street lights on the road ahead.
If any of the following conditions occur, the high beams will be automatically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

TEMPORARILY SWITCHING TO THE LOW BEAMS
Pull the lever toward you and then return it to its original position to switch to the
low beams temporarily.
The high beams are on while the lever is pulled toward you, however, after the lever
is returned to its original position, the low beams remain on for a certain amount of
time. Afterwards, the Automatic High Beams will be activated again.
NOTE: It is recommended to switch to the low beams when the high beams
may cause problems or distress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
Road Sign Assist (RSA)
Using an intelligent camera, Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to detect speed
limit signs, stop signs, do not enter signs and yield signs, and display them on the
Multi-Information Display (MID).*
* All vehicle actions must be driver-initiated and are not automated.
See www.toyota.com/safety-sense for model applicability.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.
