1 Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depr essing the brake
pedal does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic 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 ano ther driver cuts
in front of you whi le you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

■Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set sp eed can be set
when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more. (However, when the vehicle speed is
set while driving at below approxi -
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approximately 30
km/h [20 mph].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehi -
cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating
the accelerator ped al. After accelerat-
ing, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con -
trol mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the preced -
ing vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while fol -
low-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while the
vehicle ahead stops will resume fol - low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead
starts off within approximately 3 sec -
onds after the sw itch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3
seconds after your vehicle stops, fol - low-up cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the
following situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly
because it is covered in some way.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is st opped by system con- trol on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt. • The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for
about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled for any
reasons other than the above, there
may be a malfuncti on in the system.
Contact any authoriz ed Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant
speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is auto -
matically canceled in the following situa -
tions:
Enabling/Disabling the
Dynamic Radar Cruise Con -
trol with Road Sign Assist
(vehicles with RSA)
3865-5. Using the driving support systems
●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 is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is
turned off.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
●The parking brak e is operated.
If constant speed c ontrol mode is auto-
matically canceled for any reasons other
than the above, there may be a malfunc -
tion in the system. Contact any autho-
rized Toyota ret ailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not
operate properly when (vehicles with RSA)
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly
( →P.375), when using this function, make sure to check th e speed limit sign
displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed may not be changed t o the recognized
speed limit by pressi ng and holding the
“+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail -
able
●When the recognized speed limit is
the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is
outside of the spe ed 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 ar e not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver of the need for cau -
tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis - play, read the messa ge and follow the
instructions. ( →P.353, 578)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend -
ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or ope rate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor - rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( →P.383) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the
surrounding vehicles hinders the detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage compartment, etc.)

■To avoid operating the cruise
control by mistake
Switch the cruise control off using the cruise control main switch when not in
use.
■Situations unsuitable for cruise
control
Do not use cruise control in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in loss of control
and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep hills
