WARNING
●Frozen roads, snow-covered
roads or other slippery road sur-
faces
• The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
●Traffic conditions when fre-
quent acceleration and deceler-
ation make it difficult to maintain
the following distance
• It may not be po ssible for the
system to perform as the traffic
conditions require.
●Steep downhill grades
• The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
●On a steep continuous downhill
grade
• The brakes may overheat.
●Roads and overpasses with
repeated steep uphill and down-
hill grades
• Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface
may be detected instead of the
vehicle in front, making correct
control impossible.
●Entering a sharp curve/turn into
an interchange or junction, or a
service area, parking area, toll
booth or other facilities
• Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
●There are changes in bright-
ness, such as at a tunnel
entrance or exit.
●Visibility is poor due to sand,
smoke or water vapor blowing in
the wind, or the front vision is
obscured due to water
splashes, snow, dirt, water
spray from road sprinklers or
snow clearing sprinklers on the
road, or dust stir up generated
by the vehicle in front or oncom-
ing traffic.
• Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or water or other

WARNING
●There are limits to the situation
judgment capabilities of the
Adaptive Cruise Control system.
Deceleration may not take place
in time in the following situa-
tions. Apply the brake pedal to
decelerate the vehicle if neces-
sary.
• The speed difference with the vehicle in front is too large or
the vehicle in front decelerates
unexpectedly.
• The decelerating vehicle in front unexpectedly sl ows down or
suddenly brakes.
●If the alert/notification sounds
frequently, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control.
●Even when the following dis-
tance is short, the “Obstacle
Detected” warning may not acti-
vate in the following situations.
• The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. The two
vehicles are traveling at almost
the same speed.
• The vehicle in fr ont is traveling
faster than your vehicle. The fol-
lowing distance is gradually
increasing.
• Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
• The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
• There are repeated uphill and downhill grades.
*: The recognition status of the
lead vehicle using the stereo
camera can be confirmed by the
illumination status of the lead
vehicle indicator. (
P.196)
NOTICE
●After Adaptive Cruise Control
has started, it maintains control
continuously according to the
behavior of the veh icle in front.
When your vehicle comes to a
stop because the vehicle in front
has stopped, the automatic
braking function will be can-
celed immediately after stop-
ping and the veh icle will start
creeping forward gradually (at
the same time 3 intermittent
beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long
beep will sound). Be sure to
depress the brake pedal and
stop the vehicle completely.
Note that the v ehicle is not
maintained at a standstill posi-
tion and will not automatically
start moving from a standstill
position.
●Braking may not be sufficient
depending on the following con-
ditions. Depress the brake
pedal and decelerate as neces-
sary.
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slip- periness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air
pressure, temporary spare tire
is being used, etc.)
• The brakes are cold. (For exam- ple, just after the engine is
started or the outside tempera-
ture is low.)
• For a short period of time when driving after the engine is
started until the engine has
warmed-up
• The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance may be reduced).

will drive at that constant speed.
If a vehicle in front is detected while
accelerating to the set vehicle
speed, vehicle following will be
started again.
●When the brakes are applied by
Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehi-
cle’s stop lights will illuminate.
●Even if there is no lead vehicle
present, on a downhill grade, the
Adaptive Cruise Control’s auto-
matic brake may operate in order
to maintain the set vehicle speed.
●Some noises may be audible
during automatic braking. This is
caused by the braking control and
does not indicate a malfunction.
●To temporarily accelerate quickly,
use the accelerator pedal. After
accelerating, the vehicle will grad-
ually return to the set vehicle
speed shown in the set vehicle
speed display.
●If the vehicle in front is no longer
detected while your vehicle is still
controlled by the automatic brak-
ing operation, th e brake will be
automatically released gradually.
Depress the accelerator pedal if
necessary.
●The lead-vehicle following func-
tion has the following characteris-
tics:
• If the lead vehicle’s stop lights are
detected, deceleration will start
earlier than without detection.
• If the vehicle moves to the fast
lane while traveling more than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h),
the system starts acceleration to
the set vehicle speed more quickly
because it is linke
d with the turn
signal.
• If the setting of driving lane is dif-
ferent from the actual driving
direction, the vehicle may start to
accelerate faster than usual when
the driver signals a lane change to
move from the passing lane to the
driving lane. ( P.400)
●Cruise control acceleration char-
acteristics can be set to one of
four levels. ( P.400)
■Increasing the set vehicle
speed
Using the cruise control
switch
Push to the “+ RES” side
briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed,
the set vehicle speed will increase
in increments o f 1 mph (1 km/h)
increment.
Push to the “+ RES” side con-
tinuously.
While the switch is being pushed,
the set vehicle speed will increase
in increments o f 5 mph (5 km/h).
When operating the switch, the
set vehicle speed changes on
the meter display.
NOTICE
If the driver oper ates the brake
pedal during automatic braking,
the pedal may feel stiff; however,
this is not a malfunction. By
depressing the brake pedal fur-
ther you can apply more braking
force. When the brake pedal is
released it will return to its original
condition.

Conventional Cruise
Control*
Conventional Cruise Con-
trol is a driving support sys-
tem intended to allow more
comfortable driving on
expressways, freeways and
interstate highways. It can
be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining
the vehicle speed set by the
driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed
posted speed limits.
WARNING
●When Conventional Cruise
Control is functioning, the sys-
tem does not perform the follow-
ing control to maintain a
following distance, as when
using Adaptive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and
depress the brake pedal to
decelerate the vehicle as nec-
essary in order to ensure a safe
following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
●Under the following conditions,
do not use Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in
an accident.
• Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
Maintaining an appropriate
speed for such road conditions
may be difficult.
• Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing
your vehicle to lose control.
• Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be
exceeded.
• On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
●When using Conventional
Cruise Control, always set the
speed according to the speed
limit, traffic flow, road condi-
tions, and other conditions.

Toyota dealer for inspection.
●Do not disassemble the radar
sensors.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system*
Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is a system designed
to help avoid collisions or
reduce collision damage
when reversing the vehicle.
If a wall or an obstacle is
detected in the reversing
direction, the system will
notify the driver with a
warning sound and may
activate the vehicle’s brakes
automatically.

Driving■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
The TRAC system is also
equipped with the brake LSD
function.
■Hill-start assist control
P.258
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are operating
The slip indicator will flash while the
TRAC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Pressing switch to turn
the system off may make it easier
for you to rock the vehicle in order to
free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving
safety and performance, the
following systems operate
automatically in response to
various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that
these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily
when operating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems
2664-7. Driving tips
chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is fro-
zen, the window safety device
will operate and the side win-
dow open/close function
linked to door operation may
not operate correctly. If this
occurs, perform the following
after the ice has melted.
After opening the window to the
approximately half open posi-
tion, perform initialization.
( P.129)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission), or 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
depressing the brake pedal. If the
shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
Tire chains cannot be used on
your vehicle because of the lack
of clearance between the tires
and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be
used, use of another type of
traction device (such as spring
chains) may be acceptable if
use on your vehicle is recom-
mended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire
size and road conditions. Follow
the device manufacturer's
instructions, especially regard-
ing maximum vehicle speed.
