versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is no rmally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in th e opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The syst em then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display. Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.186)

2 Accelerate 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.

dance 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

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 possible, 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 while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

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. Afterwards, 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.
2 Accelerate 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.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
switch is released becomes the set speed.

When the Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill,
the vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed.
In this case, the displayed set vehi-
cle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
■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 position according to the
vehicle speed. If the engine speed is too high or too low, control may be automat-ically canceled.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-
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.
●The parking brake is operated.
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.

■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.192), 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 avail-
able
●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.156, 321)
■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.185) 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.)

■Conditions under which the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions,
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect vehicles ahead, the system may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decel-

4-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era and/or navigation system (when
speed limit information is available)
to provide information to the driver
via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing prohibited actions, etc.,
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
When the front camera recognizes
a sign and/or information of a sign
is available from the navigation sys-
tem, the sign will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
When the driving support system
information is selected, a maxi-
mum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. ( P. 8 4 )
When a tab other than the driving
support system information is
selected, the following types of
road signs will be displayed.
( P. 8 4 )
• Speed limit begins/ends sign
• Speed limit related information sign
(Highway, Motorway, Urban area,
Residential area)
• End of prohibition sign
• No-entry sign* (when notification is
necessary)
• Speed limit with supplemental sign
(Ramp way only)

WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys-
tem. RSA is a system which supports the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a
driver’s own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.
