Adaptive Cruise Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control is a
driving support system
intended to allow more com-
fortable driving on express-
ways, freeways and
motorways. The stereo cam-
era detects vehicles in front
that are driving in the same
traffic lane, and your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front (up
to the maximum speed of the
set vehicle speed). While fol-
lowing, your vehicle will auto-
matically maintain a following
distance that corresponds to
the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of
being controlled at a speed
between 0 km/h (0 mph) and
approximately 180 km/h (110
mph). Please remember that
you should not exceed posted
speed limits.

●This system does not provide the
driver with an automatic driving
function that handles all traffic con- ditions.
●Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. Th is system is not
intended to assist in driving when
the driver is not paying full attention to what is ahead of him/her due to
distractions or a lack of concentra-
tion while driving, or under condi- tions of poor visibility. It is not
intended to prevent rear-end colli-
sions. Strive for safe driving at all times.
Always maintain a safe following
distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your
surroundings and the driving condi-
tions, and operate the brake pedal and take other actions as neces-
sary.
●When using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, always set the speed according
to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions.

■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size, and that are the same size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
●Maintain the recommended level of
air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of
the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on a ll, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
●When any of the tires are punc-
tured, you can seal the tire tempo- rarily. However, do not use the tire
chain on a sealed tire. If any of the
rear tires are punctured although it is required to use tire chains, con-
tact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
• Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains
being used, or 30 km/h (19 mph),
whichever is lower.
• Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-
faces or over potholes.
• Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shift- ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
• Slow down sufficiently before enter- ing a curve to ensure that vehicle
control is maintained.
