WARNI NG
The units for the speed limit (km/h or mph) depend on the country you are driving in.This should be taken into account so that you observe the speed limit.For the system to work correctly when changing country, the speed unit in the instrument panel must correspond to that of the country you are driving in.

122
WARNI NG
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always display speed limits correctly.The speed limit signs present on the road always take priority over the display by the system. The system is designed to detect signs that conform to the Vienna Convention on road signs.
NOTIC E
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.The display of the speed limit in the instrument panel is updated when passing a speed limit sign intended for cars (light vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated at every engine start.It is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel

1.Detected speed limit indicationor
2.End of speed limit indication

The system is active but is not detecting speed limit information.

On detecting speed limit information, the system displays the value.

In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested speed by more than 5 km/h (3 mph) (e.g. 95 km/h (59 mph)), the speed is displayed flashing for 10 seconds.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced speed limits, especially those imposed in the following cases:– atmospheric pollution,– when towing,– driving with a space-saver type spare wheel or snow chains fitted,– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture repair kit,– young drivers.It is possible for the system to not display the speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset period and in the following situations:– road signs that are obstructed, do not comply with the standard, are damaged or distorted,– obsolete or incorrect maps.

126


Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the programmed setting, the speed limiter functions again: the display of the speed setting becomes fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Malfunction

Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then fixed) in the event of a speed limiter malfunction.Have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Cruise control - particular
recommendations
WARNI NG
For the safety of everyone, only use the cruise control where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is activated. If you hold one of the speed setting modification buttons, a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle may occur.When descending a steep hill, the cruise control system cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to control the speed of your vehicle.On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed may not be reached or maintained.
NOTIC E
Exceeding the programmed speed settingYou can temporarily exceed the speed setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the programmed speed flashes).To return to the speed setting, release the accelerator pedal (when the set speed is reached again, the displayed speed stops flashing).
WARNI NG
Operating limitsNever use the system in the following situations:– in an urban area with the risk of pedestrians crossing the road,– in heavy traffic,– on winding or steep roads,– on slippery or flooded roads,– in unfavourable climatic conditions,– driving on a speed circuit,– driving on a rolling road,– use of snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres.
Programmable cruise
control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.This system automatically keeps the vehicle’s speed at the cruise value programmed by the driver (speed setting), without using the accelerator pedal.The cruise control is switched on manually.It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 40 km/h (25 mph).With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must be engaged.

132
The system has brought the vehicle to a complete stop and is holding it immobilised: cruise control is paused.The driver must accelerate to move off again, then reactivate cruise control.
Operating limits
Cruise control operates by day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.Certain situations cannot be managed by the system and require driver intervention.Elements not detected by the system:– Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.– Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown, etc.).

– Vehicles crossing your lane.– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations in which the driver must pause the cruise control system:

– Vehicles in a tight bend.– When approaching a roundabout.

– When following a narrow vehicle.Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.Situations in which the driver is prompted to immediately resume control:– Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle in front of you.

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your vehicle and the one in front.
WARNI NG
Pay particular attention:– When motorcycles are present and when there are vehicles staggered across the traffic lane.– When entering a tunnel or crossing a bridge.
WARNI NG
If any of the following malfunctions occurs, do not use the system:– Following an impact on the windscreen close to the camera.– Brake lamps not working.
WARNI NG
If the vehicle has undergone any of the following modifications, do not use the system:– Carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack.– Towing.– Front end of the vehicle modified (for example by adding long-range headlamps or painting the front bumper).
Malfunction

WARNI NG
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system is designed to assist the driver and improve road safety.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic, observing the driving regulations.
NOTIC E
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in case automatic braking is needed. This may cause a slight noise and a slight sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.All passenger seat belts must be fastened.Driving at a steady speed on roads with few bends is required.In the following cases, deactivating the system via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:– towing a trailer,– carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,– with snow chains fitted,
– before using an automatic car wash, with the engine running,– before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop,– towed vehicle, engine running,– Following an impact to the windscreen close to the detection camera.
NOTIC E
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver" type spare wheels is detected (smaller diameter).The system is automatically deactivated after detection of a fault with the brake pedal switch or with at least two brake lamps.
WARNI NG
It is possible that warnings are not given, are given too late or seem unjustified.Consequently, always stay in control of your vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to avoid an accident.
WARNI NG
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen by the driver, several different levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the environmental conditions and the operation of the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, signalling that the vehicle in front is very close.The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert in the form of micro-braking can be given, confirming the risk of collision.
