When Pre-Collision Braking Sys-
tem is activated (when the system
determines that there is a high risk
of collision with an obstacle in
front), if the driver depresses the
brake pedal, the system determines
that this is emergency braking and
activates braking assist automati-
cally.

*: If equipped
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.
●Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that
there are no malfunctions of the
tires or brakes.
●When you do not want to use Adap-
tive Cruise Control, be sure to turn it off by pressing the “ON-OFF”
switch. If the switch is left on, cruise
control may be accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an
accident.
●Before using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, be sure to full y verify the safety
of the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never
operate the cruise control from out-
side the vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly
under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
●The tire pressure is not correct.*1

*1: The wheels and tires have func-
tions that are critically important.
Be sure to use the correct ones.
(P.375)
*2: If the brake system warning light
(red) does not turn off, immediately
pull the vehicle over in a safe place
and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer to

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.

●Steep downhill grades
• The set vehicle speed may be
exceeded.
●On a steep continuous downhill
grade
• The brakes may overheat.
●Roads and overpasses with
repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
• Detection of the vehicle in front may
be lost, or the road surface may be detected instead of the vehicle in
front, making correct control impos-
sible.
●Entering a sharp curve/turn into an
interchange or junction, or a service area, parking area, toll booth or
other facilities
• Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
●There are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
●Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind,
or the front vision is obscured due
to water splashes, snow, dirt, water spray from road sprinklers or snow
clearing sprinklers on the road, or
dust stir up generated by the vehi- cle in front or oncoming traffic.
• Detection of the vehicle in front may
be lost, or water or other sub- stances may be incorrectly
detected instead, making correct
control impossible.

●The windshield has become
fogged, scratched or smeared, or
snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected.
These will reduce the stereo cam-
era’s field of view. Also, light is reflecting off the dirt, etc.
●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.
●Vehicles at significantly different
speeds (vehicles driving slowly, stopped or oncoming vehicles, etc.)
●Vehicles cutting into your lane
●Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians
and animals, etc.

●Vehicles in front that have a rear
aspect that is low, small or irregular
(the system may re cognize another part of the vehicle and will deter-
mine operation from that)
• An empty truck or trailer that has no tailgate or longbed
• Vehicles that have cargo protrud-ing from their back ends
• Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles
with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• Vehicles that are low
●Objects that are located close to the bumper of your vehicle
■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.
• Following begins from a short fol-
lowing distance, such as when the vehicle in front is a vehicle that cut

• On curved roads, at the start and
end of a curve and on roads with
continuous curves (These condi- tions make it difficult for the system
to detect vehicles because they are
outside the detectable area.)
• On an on-ramp or off-ramp to a
freeway, highway, or other
restricted access road (EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control is not
designed for use in this kind of driv-
ing environment.)
• In an urban or suburban environ-
ment (Adaptive Cruise Control is not appropriate for use in these
driving areas. Use Adaptive Cruise
Control only on limited-access high- ways.)
• The vehicle in front is not directly ahead of your vehicle and is shifted
to one side.
• There is an obstacle on the side of the road.
• The relative speed difference com- pared to the vehicle in front is large.
• A vehicle cuts into your lane in front of you.
• The distance between vehicles is extremely short.
• Your vehicle is drifting within the lane.
• On a bumpy or unpaved road sur- face.
• On a road with extremely narrow lanes, such as when traffic restric-
tions are in effect or in areas where
construction work is taking place.
• Normal driving has become unsta-
ble due to an accident or malfunc- tion.
• Extremely heavy cargo is loaded in the rear seat or trunk of your vehi-
cle.
●There are limits to the situation
judgment capabilities of the Adap-
tive Cruise Control system. Decel- eration may not take place in time
in the following situations. Apply the
brake pedal to decelerate the vehi- cle if necessary.
• The speed difference with the vehi-
cle in front is too large or the vehicle in front decelerates unexpectedly.
• The decelerating vehicle in front unexpectedly slows down or sud-
denly brakes.

●If the alert/notification sounds fre-
quently, do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control.
●Even when the following distance is
short, the “Obstacle Detected” warning may not activate in the fol-
lowing situations.
• The difference in speed with the
vehicle in front is small. The two vehicles are traveling at almost the
same speed.
• The vehicle in front is traveling
faster than your vehicle. The follow-
ing distance is gradually increasing.
• Another vehicle cuts into your lane
very close to your vehicle.
• The vehicle in front decelerates
suddenly.
• There are repeated uphill and
downhill grades.
*: The recognition status of the lead
vehicle using the stereo camera
can be confirmed by the illumina-
tion status of the lead vehicle indi-

NOTICE
●After Adaptive Cruise Control has
started, it maintains control continu-
ously according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehi-
cle comes to a stop because the
vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking function will be
canceled immediately after stop-
ping and the vehicle will start creep-
ing forward gradually (at the same time 3 intermittent beeps, 1 short
beep and 1 long beep will sound).
Be sure to depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle completely.
Note that the vehicle is not main-
tained at a standstill position and will not automatica lly start moving
from a standstill position.
●Braking may not be sufficient
depending on the following condi-
tions. Depress the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load,
number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slipperi-
ness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Vehicle maintenance condition
(brake systems, tire wear, air pres- sure, etc.)
• The brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started or the
outside temperature is low.)
• For a short period of time when
driving after the engine is started
until the engine has warmed-up
• The brakes are overheated on
downhill grades (braking perfor- mance may be reduced).
• In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may become wet and
braking performance may be
reduced.)
