Q Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
O Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the set vehicle speed.
O Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 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.

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 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.
Q 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. 299), 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.
O If speed limit information is not available
O When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
O When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
Q Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
Q 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

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 equipped
Use the front-wheel drive control switch to select the following
transfer modes.

When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the
vehicle is on an incline, when the brake pedal is released, brake force
is temporarily maintained to prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards before the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is automat-
ically canceled.
O This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.
O Sound may be generated from the brake system, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
O Brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.
Q Points for use
O If the engine switch is pressed when the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system, the engine will not be able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal
engine starting procedure. ( P. 220, 223)
O When the engine is being restarted by the Stop & Start system, the power
outlets may be temporarily unusable, but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
O Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
O When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of time, turn the engine switch
to the “LOCK” position*1 or off*2 to stop the engine completely.
O When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may temporarily feel heavy.
O 4WD models only: While driving in L4 mode, it is recommended that the
Stop & Start system be canceled because the system may not operate prop-
erly.

ever to make effective use of the system it is recommended to select a lower
shift range.
Q The system will not operate when
O The transfer mode is in H2.
O The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
