QDynamic radar cruise control can be set when
O The shift lever is in D. (Vehicles with automatic transmission)
O The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
O 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
Q 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.
Q 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.
Q Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
O Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
O VSC is activated.
O TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
O When the VSC or TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
O The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
O When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Coll ision System, Drive-Start Control)
O 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)
O 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.

Q 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. 310) may not be activated.
O Vehicles that cut in suddenly
O Vehicles traveling at low speeds
O Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
O Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
O Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
O When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
O When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
O Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

Q 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.
O When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
O When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
a bridge
O While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
O When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
O When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable

Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when
parallel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by
the sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.

When on, the indicator light comes
on to inform the driver that the sys-

When the sensors detect an object, the following displays inform the
driver of the position and distance to the object.

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
QWhen an object is detected to the front or rear of the vehicle
O The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the object,
the buzzer beeps continuously.
• Front corner sensor: Approximately 35 cm (1.1 ft.)
• Rear corner sensor: Approximately 40 cm (1.3 ft.)
• Rear center sensor: Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)
O When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest object.
Approximately 60 cm (24 in.)
Approximately 150 cm (59 in.)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors may not be able to detect
objects that are extremely close to
the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object etc.

QToyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
O The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
O Front corner sensor:
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.
O Rear corner and rear center sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
Q Sensor detection information
O The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
O Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
O Detection may be impossible if the objects draw too close to the sensor.
O There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
O Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
O It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
Q Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
O Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
O Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
O Sharply-angled objects
O Low objects
O Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
O Moving objects such as people or animals
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
Q Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
O There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
