■Daytime running light system 
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving, the 
daytime  running  lights  turn  on  automatically  whenever  the  hybri d  system  is 
started and  the parking brake  is released with the  headlight  sw itch in  . 
(Illuminate  brighter  than  the  front  position  lights.)  Daytime  r unning  lights  are 
not designed for use at night. 
■ Headlight control sensor 
■ Automatic light off system  
● When  the  light  switch  is  in  or  :  The  headlights  and  front  fog 
lights (if equipped) turn off automatically if the power switch  is turned off. 
● When the light switch is in  : All lights turn off automatically if the power 
switch is turned off. 
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode,  or turn the light 
switch to   once and then back to  or .
■ Light reminder buzzer 
A buzzer sounds and a message appears when the power switch is  turned off 
or  turned  to ACCESSORY  mode  and  the  driver’s  door  is  opened  whi le  the 
lights are turned on. 
The sensor may not function properly if an 
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that  blocks  the  sensor  is  affixed  to  the 
windshield.  
Doing  so  interferes  with  the  sensor
detecting  the  level  of  ambient  light  and 
may  cause  the  automatic  headlight  sys- 
tem to malfunction.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
: If equipped
The  pre-collision  system  uses  a  radar  sensor  and  front  camera 
to detect objects ( P. 370) in front of the vehicle. When the sys- 
tem  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal  collision  with  an 
object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take e va- 
sive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to he lp 
the  driver  avoid  the  collision.  If  the  system  determines  that  t he 
possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely  high, 
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collisio n 
or help reduce the impact of the collision. 
The  pre-collision  system  can  be  disabled/enabled  and  the  warnin g 
timing can be changed. ( P. 375)

■Dynamic radar cruise control with 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 
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 approxima tely 30 km/h 
[20 mph].) 
■ 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 
● Pushing  the  lever  up  while  the  vehicle  ahead  stops  will  resume follow-up 
cruising  if  the  vehicle  ahead  starts  off  within  approximately  3   seconds  after 
the lever is pushed up. 
● 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 cance led in the fol- 
lowing 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 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  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  rep airer,  or  any 
reliable repairer.

■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead 
In  the  case  of  the  following  and  depending  on  the  conditions,  o perate  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 correctly detect these types o f vehicles, the 
approach warning ( P. 420) 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.) 
● Preceding vehicle has an extremely high 
ground clearance
