5-4. Using the driving support systems
The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance
varies in accordance with the vehicle
speed. Also, when the vehicle is
stopped by system control, it will be
stopped at a certain distance from the
preceding vehicle, depending on the
situation, regardless of the setting.
■Operating conditions
●D shift position is selected.
●The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more. (If the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approximately 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
As with normal driving, acceleration can
be performed by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. After accelerating, the vehi- cle will return to the set vehicle speed. However, while in vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease to below the set vehicle speed in order to maintain the distance
from the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle is stopped by system control during follow-up cruising
●When the “RES” switch is pressed while the vehicle is stopped by system
control, if the preceding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds, follow-up cruising will resume.
●If the preceding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds of the
vehicle being stopped by system con- trol, follow-up cruising will resume.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
In the following situations, vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode will be canceled automatically:
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support
system operates (For example: Pre- Collision System, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by sys-tem control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are detected while the vehicle is stopped by system control:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened • The driver’s door is opened• Approximately 3 minutes have
elapsed since the vehicle was stopped
The parking brake may be actived auto-
matically.
The shift position may automatically change to P. ( P.250)

■LTA control when operation is can- celed
When emergency driving stop system
operation is canceled, LTA control may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off steer-
ing wheel warning operates, a
buzzer will sound intermittently and
a message will be displayed to
warn the driver, and the system will
judge if the driver is responsive or
not. If driving operations, such as
holding the steering wheel, are not
performed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter warn-
ing phase 2.
Vehicles with a driver monitor cam-
era: Depending on the type of
detection of the driver’s unrespon-
siveness, the system may skip
warning phase 1 and start the con-
trol of warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, a
buzzer will sound in short intervals
and a message will be displayed to
warn the driver, and the vehicle will
slowly decelerate. If driving opera-
tions, such as holding the steering
wheel, are not performed within a
certain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is not
responsive and enter the decelera-
tion stop phase.
The audio system will be muted until
the driver becomes responsive.
When the vehicle is decelerating, the
brake lights may illuminate, depending
on the road conditions, etc.
After the vehicle has decelerated a cer-
tain amount, the emergency flashers
(hazard lights) will flash.
After the driver is judged as being
not responsive, a buzzer will sound
continuously and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly decelerate
and stop. While the vehicle is
decelerating, the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to warn
other drivers of the emergency.
After the vehicle is stopped, the
parking brake will be applied auto-
matically. After entering the stop
and hold phase, the buzzer will
continue sounding continuously, the
emergency flashers (hazard lights)
will flash to warn other drivers of
the emergency, and the doors will
unlock.

*: If equipped
SEA (Safe Exit Assist)*
The Safe Exit Assist is a sys-
tem that uses radar sensors
installed on the inner side of
the rear bumper to help occu-
pants judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may collide
with a door to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings.
●Safe Exit Assist is a supplementary system that, when the vehicle is stopped, informs occupants of the
existence of approaching vehicles and bicycles. As this system alone cannot be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor- rectly under certain conditions, visual confirmation of safety with
the passengers’ own eyes and mir- rors is necessary.

■To ensure the system can oper- ate properly
Safe Exit Assist sensors are installed behind the left and right sides of the rear bumper respectively. Observe
the following to ensure the Safe Exit Assist can operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-rounding areas on the rear bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-ered with snow, the Safe Exit Assist
may not operate and a warning message will be displayed. In this situation, clear off the dirt or snow
and drive the vehicle with the oper- ation conditions of the SEA function satisfied for approximately 10 min-
utes. If the warning message does not disappear, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), alu-minum tape, etc., to a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear bumper.
