end, such as an unloaded truck
• If a preceding vehicle has a low rear end, such as a low bed trailer
• If a vehicle ahead has extremely high ground clearance
• If a vehicle ahead is carrying a load which protrudes past its rear bumper• If a vehicle ahead is irregularly
shaped, such as a tractor or side car • For region A: If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicycle, a bicycle that is
carrying a large load, a bicycle ridden by more than one person, or a uniquely shaped bicycle (bicycle with
a child seat, tandem bicycle, etc.) • For region A: If a pedestrian/or the rid-ing height of a bicyclist ahead is
shorter than approximately 1 m (3.2 ft.) or taller than approximately 2 m (6.5 ft.)
• For region A: If a pedestrian/bicyclist is wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skirt, etc.), making their sil-
houette obscure • For region A: If a pedestrian is bend-ing forward or squatting or bicyclist is
bending forward • For region A: If a pedestrian/bicyclist is moving fast
• For region A: If a pedestrian is push- ing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle
• When driving in inclement weather
such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a
sandstorm • When driving through steam or smoke• When the surrounding area is dim,
such as at dawn or dusk, or while at night or in a tunnel, making a detect-able object appear to be nearly the
same color as its surroundings • When driving in a place where the sur-rounding brightness changes sud-
denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a tunnel• After the engine has started the vehi-
cle has not been driven for a certain amount of time• While making a left/right turn and for a
few seconds after making a left/right turn• While driving on a curve and for a few
seconds after driving on a curve • If your vehicle is skidding• If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front camera• The vehicle is being driven at
extremely high speeds • When driving on a hill• If the radar sensor or front camera is
misaligned • For region A: When driving in a traffic lane separated by more than one lane
where oncoming vehicles are driving while making a right/left turn• For region A: When largely out of
place with the opposite facing tar- geted oncoming vehicle during a right/left turn

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely
high ground clearance
■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-
erates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on a bridge
●While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle accelerates by depressing the accel-
erator pedal

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro- jecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
■Situations in which the system may
not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur- rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area
will resolve this problem.) In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display may be
displayed abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Pedestrians that are hard to reflect ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-
lar to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in
front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
■Situations in which the system may
operate even if there is no possibil- ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-sion.
●When driving on a narrow road

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial tow-
ing service before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
From the rear
Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clear-ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck,
either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components.
■When towing a vehicle equipped with the Stop & Start system
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, perform the following procedure
before towing the vehicle in order to protect the system. Turn the engine switch off and then start the engine or
turn the engine switch to ON.

sary to contact dealers
