■Dynamic radar cruise control wi th full-speed range can be set when
● The shift lever is in D.
● The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately
20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h], the set speed will be set to approximately 20 mph
[30 km/h].)
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicl e distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set spee d in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
●Pressing the “+ RES” switch while the vehicle ahead stops will resume fol-
low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approxim ately 3 sec-
onds after the switch 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 mo de
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically cance led in the fol-
lowing situations.
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre -Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
● The parking brake is operated.
● The vehicle is stopped by system control 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 ca nceled for any
reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact your Toyota dealer.

• The vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is an object in the traveling direction of the vehicle a nd 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The system determines that a stronger-than-normal brake operat ion is
necessary to avoid a collision.
● Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The system determines that an emergency brake operation is nec essary
to avoid a collision.
■ The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function will stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the following condit ions are met:

control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by b rake con-
trol.
• The object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■ Detection range of the Intellig ent Clearance Sonar function
The detection range of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 316)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obje ct and provides a
warning, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may not start operating.
■ If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Intelligent C learance Sonar
function, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system will be disabl ed and the ICS

vehicle.
■ Detection area of the Rear Cro ss Traffic Auto Brake function
The detection area of the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function differs from
the detection area of the RCTA function ( P. 306).
Therefore, even if the RCTA function detects a vehicle and provides an alert,
the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function may not start operat ing.
■ If the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Rear Cross Tr affic Auto Brake
function, the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function will be di sabled and the
ICS OFF indicator will illuminate.

3444-5. Using the driving support systems
◆ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake System)
The electronically controlled system generates braking force co rre-
sponding to the brake operation
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenl y,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake p edal
is depressed when the system de tects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces.
◆Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippe ry
road surfaces by controlling steering performance.
◆TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicl e or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when start -
ing on an uphill
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and perf ormance, the following systems
operate automatically in respon se to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heav ily when operating the vehi-
cle.

■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC,
and hill-start assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a mal function has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above system s are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occur red.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a s top.
■ ECB brake operation
Braking power may be stronger than normal for a short time afte r the hybrid
system is started.
■ ECB operating sound
ECB operating sound may be heard in the following cases, but it does not
indicate that a malfunction has occurred.
● Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when the brak e pedal
is operated.
● Motor sound of the brake system heard from the front part of th e vehicle
when the driver’s door is opened.
● Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when one or t wo min-
utes passed after the stop of the hybrid system.
■ EPS operation sound

WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effectively when
● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or s lick roads.
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■ TRAC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and p ower may be
lost.
■ Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
● Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered wit h ice.
● Unlike the parking brake, hill-st art assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may
lead to an accident.
■ When the TRAC/ABS/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■ When the TRAC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the r oad condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
