Fine adjustment: Press the switch.
Large adjustment: Press and hold the
switch to change the speed, and
release when the desired speed is
reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows:
For Europe
Fine adjustment: By 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1
or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2 each time the
switch is pressed
Large adjustment: Increases or
decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5
mph (8 km/h)*2 increments for as long
as the switch is held
Except for Europe
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
each time the sw itch is pressed
Large adjustment: Increases or
decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph) incre-
ments for as long as the switch is held
In the constant speed control mode
( P.267), the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1
or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the
switch is pressed
Large adjustment: The speed will con-
tinue to change while the switch is held.

preceding vehicle mark will also be
displayed.

2664-5. Using the driving support systems
Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decrea ses in accord-
ance with vehicle speed.
1 Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
However, cruise control does not
resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or
less.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise
control is not poss ible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound
to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts
in front of you wh ile you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following in stances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.

When constant speed control mode
is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode does not function correctly
due to a dirty radar, etc.
1 With the cruise control off, press
and hold the cruise control main
switch for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the switch is pressed,
the dynamic radar cruise control indica-
tor will come on. Afte rwards, it switches to the cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed control
mode is only possible when operating the switch with the cruise control off.
2Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.

■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
●The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher.
●Depending on the control mode, this
item can be set at the following speeds.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more • Constant speed control mode:
Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or
more
■Accelerating after setting the vehi- cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating
the accelerator pedal. After accelerat- ing, the set speed resumes. However,
during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding
vehicle.
■Shift position selection
Select a shift positi on according to the
vehicle speed. If the engine speed is too
high or too low, control may be automat- ically canceled.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is automatically canceled in the follow-
ing situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
●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.
●When the shift lever is in N or the
clutch pedal is depressed for a certain amount of time or more.
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.
If constant speed control mode is auto- matically canceled for any reasons other
than the above, there may be a malfunc-
tion in the system. Contact any author- ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly
( P.279), when using this function, make sure to check 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 availa-
ble
●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.222, 520)
■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.266) 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.)
