When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system acti-
vates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to activate
braking control and the stop lights.
Following distance warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds
repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display illuminate to warn the
driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not acti-
vated.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable
following distance, the warning is canceled.
First braking and warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in
front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display
illuminate to warn the driver. Braking control may be activated and in some situa-
tions, engine output may also be controlled. If the system determines that the
amount of evasive action (braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced
the risk of collision, braking activation is canceled.
Secondary braking and warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the alert

changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated.
Despite any evasive action ta ken by the driver, if the system subsequently deter-
mines that a collision is unavoidable, braking and engine output are controlled by
the system.
When the vehicle is comple tely stopped by the automatic braking system, a short
tone “3 intermittent beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long beep” will sound and braking will
be gradually released and the vehicle will start creeping. To stop the vehicle com-
pletely, depress the brake pedal after the vehicle has stopped.
●Neither first braking nor secondary brak ing will operate in the following cases.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 1 km/h (1 mph) or less (When the shift lever is in the N position and your vehicle speed is approximately 4 km/h (2 mph) or less)
or 200 km/h (125 mph) or more.
• VSC is active.
●If the system detects th e stop lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle will start
decelerating earlier than if it does not.
●There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period of time.
One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control may be activated.
After the Pre-Collision Braking System operation, a message appears and
stays on the meter display for a certain period of time.

Adaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways,
toll roads, motorways and similar lim-
ited access roads. It is not intended to be used in city traffic. In the following
conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. Doin g so may result in an accident.
●Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
• Depending on the driving environ-
ment (complexity of roads and other factors), the system may not
be able to perform as the traffic
conditions require, and that may result in an accident.
●Sharp curves or winding roads
●Frozen roads, snow-covered roads
or other slippery road surfaces
• The tires may spin, causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
●Traffic conditions when frequent
acceleration and deceleration make
it difficult to maintain the following
distance
• It may not be possible for the sys-
tem to perform as the traffic condi-
tions require.

●Water droplets from rain or the win-
dow washer, or dirt has not been fully wiped off the windshield.
• It may not be possible to detect the
vehicle in front, making correct con- trol impossible.
●The stereo camera’s field of view is obstructed.
The stereo camera may have difficulty detecting the following objects or con-
ditions. Operate the brake pedal and
take other actions as necessary.

■Detection of the vehicle in front by the EyeSight stereo camera*
●Under the following road conditions
or conditions of your vehicle, detec- tion of the vehicle in front may not
be possible. Vehicles in neighboring
traffic lanes or roadside objects may also be inco rrectly detected.
Under conditions such as these, do
not use Adaptive Cruise Control. If cruise control is currently in use,
operate the brake pedal and take
other actions as necessary.

Control may not be used.
“READY” indicator
2 Setting Adaptive Cruise Control
Push the cruise control switch to the “-
SET” side or the “+ RES” side.
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated
and control starts, using the vehicle
speed at the time when the switch was pushed as the set vehicle speed.
If no vehicle in front has been detected,
the vehicle drives at the constant set vehicle speed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is
activated, “READY” indicator turns
off, the set vehicle speed is dis-
played, and changes from
white to green.

●The set vehicle speed can be set
between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 180 km/h (110 mph).
●If the vehicle speed is approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or less when the
vehicle speed is set, the set vehicle
speed is set to 30 km/h (20 mph).
●When driving on a curve, the vehicle
may not accelerate, or may decelerate, even if the set vehicle
speed is higher than the current vehi-
cle speed.
●If does not illuminate, even when
the “ON-OFF” swit ch is pressed, Adaptive Cruise Control will not oper-
ate.
●If does not illuminate, even when
the “ON-OFF” switch is pressed and
this occurs frequently, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer and have the system
inspected.
When a vehicle in front is detected,

accelerating to the set vehicle speed,
vehicle following will be started again.
●When the brakes are applied by
Adaptive Cruise Cont rol, the vehicle’s
stop lights will illuminate.
●Even if there is no lead vehicle pres-
ent, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive Cruise Control’s automatic brake may
operate in order to maintain the set
vehicle speed.
●Some noises may be audible during
automatic braking. This is caused by the braking control and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●To temporarily accelerate quickly, use
the accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the vehicle will gradually return to the set vehicle speed shown in the set
vehicle speed display.
●If the vehicle in front is no longer
detected while your vehicle is still con-
trolled by the automatic braking oper- ation, the brake will be automatically
released gradually. Depress the
accelerator pedal if necessary.
●The lead-vehicle following function
has the following characteristics:
• If the lead vehicle’s stop lights are detected, deceleration will start earlier
than without detection.
• If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than approxi-
mately 60 km/h (37 mph), the system
starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more quickly because it is
linked with the turn signal.
• If the setting of driving lane is different
from the actual driving direction, the
vehicle may start to accelerate faster than usual when the driver signals a
lane change to move from the passing
lane to the driving lane. ( P.377)
●Cruise control acceleration character-
istics can be set to one of four levels. ( P.377)
■Increasing the set vehicle
speed
Using the cruise control switch
Push to the “+ RES” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle speed will increase in incre-
ments of 1 km/h (1 mph) increment.
Push to the “+ RES” side contin-
uously.
While the switch is being pushed, the
set vehicle speed will increase in incre-
ments of 5 km/h (5 mph).
When operating the switch, the set
vehicle speed changes on the
meter display.
NOTICE
If the driver operates the brake pedal
during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake
pedal further you can apply more
braking force. When the brake pedal is released it will return to its original
condition.
