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 reli-
able repairer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant
speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is auto-
matically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
●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.

When the shift lever is in N or the
clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more.
●The parking brake is operated.
If constant speed control mode is auto-

As the Radar Cruise Control with Road
Sign Assist may not operate properly in
conditions in which RSA may not oper-

the speed limit sign displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not be changed to the recognized
speed limit by pressing 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 speed 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 are not malfunctions.
■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 cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. (→P.191, 377)
■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 operate 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.219) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane

intended to assist the driver in
checking areas that are not
easily visible when backing
up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-ing care to observe your surround-
ings.
The RCTA function is only a supple- mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. As the RCTA function may
not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting death or serious injury.
