●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.
●Light is poor in the evening or early
morning.
●At night or in a tunnel without the
headlights on
●At night or in a tunnel when there is
a vehicle in front that does not have its tail lights on
●Strong light is coming from the front (sunlight or headlight high beams,
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
into your lane.

• 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-
cator. (P.191)
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.)

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.
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.

illuminate.
The vehicle follows the lead vehicle
in front and maintains the selected
following distance. At this time, the
cruise speed is ad justed to and will
not exceed the set vehicle speed. If
the vehicle in front is no longer
detected, a notification sounds 1
short beep and the lead vehicle
indicator turns off. While the driver
accelerates the vehicle by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal, will
turn from green to white. When

■Operation of Adaptive Cruise
Control
When no vehicle in front is
detected
The vehicle drives constantly and cor-
respondingly to the set vehicle speed
between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 180
km/h (110 mph).
When a vehicle in front is
detected
The vehicle follows the lead vehicle in
front, and will maintain the chosen fol-
lowing distance (there are four set-
tings), up to the set vehicle speed
between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 180
km/h (110 mph).
If your vehicle no longer detects
the vehicle in front
The vehicle gradually accelerates back
to the set vehicle speed and will drive at
that constant speed.
If a vehicle in front is detected while
A
1944-5. EyeSight
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.

Using the accelerator pedal
1 Depress the accelerator pedal
to increase vehicle speed.
2 When the desired speed is
reached, push the cruise control
switch to the “- SET” side.
The speed at the time of pushing the
switch will be set as the new set vehicle speed, and it appears on the meter dis-
play.
■Decreasing the set vehicle
speed
Using the cruise control switch
Push to the “- SET” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle speed will decrease in decre-
ments of 1 km/h (1 mph) decrement.
Push to the “- SET” side continu-
ously.
While the switch is being pushed, the
set vehicle speed will decrease in dec-
rements of 5 km/h (5 mph).
NOTICE
●When the vehicle is following the
lead vehicle, the actual vehicle
speed is controlled according to the lead vehicle. Therefore, if the cruise
control switch is pushed to the “+
RES” side and set to a speed higher than the speed of the lead
vehicle, the vehicle will not acceler-
ate; it will maintain a safe following
distance as the first priority. How- ever, because doing so changed
the set vehicle speed, when the
lead vehicle is no longer detected (for example, if you change to a
freeway lane with no vehicles in
front), the vehicle will accelerate to that new set vehicle speed. Change
the set vehicle speed while briefly
checking the value shown in the set vehicle speed display on the meter
display.
●When the accelerator pedal is
depressed with Adaptive Cruise
Control on, automatic braking con- trol and warnings by Adaptive
Cruise Control will not occur. How-
ever, if there is a high risk of colli- sion with an obstacle in front of the
vehicle at this time, the warning and
braking control of Pre-Collision Braking System may activate.
