reduce noise, shift t he shift lever to D
for normal driving.
*2: Any gear range can be fixed when
driving in Manual mode.
■To protect the automatic transmis-
sion
If the automatic transmission fluid tem- perature is high, “Transmission Oil Tem-
perature Check Owner's Manual” will be
displayed on the multi-information dis- play and the vehicle will go into trans-
mission protection mode automatically.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not stop the engine when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If
the engine is stopped in another shift
lever position, the engine switch will not be turned off but instead be
turned to ACC mode. If the vehicle is
left in ACC, battery discharge may occur.

■When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control or Conventional Cruise
Control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control. After
downshifting, the set speed continues. ( P.145, 146)
■Automatic gear selection when the
vehicle is stopped
When the vehicle is idling at high rpm in order to warm up, and the vehicle is on a
slippery road, the transmission may
automatically shift to 2nd gear for stop- ping and starting off.
■AI-SHIFT
●The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver
performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in D. (Shifting
the shift lever to the M position can-
cels the function.)
●G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a
suitable gear for sporty driving accord- ing to driver’s input and driving condi-
tions. G AI-SHIFT operates
automatically when the shift lever is in D and sport mode is selected for the
driving mode. (Selecting normal mode
with the driving mode select switch or shifting the shift lever to the M position
cancels this function.)
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery
P.361
While the engine switch is in
ON, move the shift lever with the
brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre-
vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P
only when the engine switch is in ON
and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is
being depressed.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted with
your foot on the brake pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensure that the
shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.

■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sud- den acceleration, as this could result
in the vehicle skidding to the side or
spinning.

NOTICE
●Under the conditions listed below, it
will become more difficult for the
system to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians
and obstacles on the road, and lane
markers. Also, EyeSight may tem- porarily stop operating. However,
the temporary stop will be canceled
once these conditions have
improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of time.
• Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In par- ticular, the system is more likely to
temporarily stop operating when
there is an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has
been applied, or poorly performing
wipers are used.
• Strong light is coming from the front
(sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming traffic, etc.).
• The windshield washer is in use.
• Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on
the windshield are not wiped off suf- ficiently.
• 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.
• The vehicle is tilted at an extreme
angle due to loaded cargo or other factors.
• 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 or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in
front or oncoming traffic.
• The stereo camera’s field of view is
obstructed.
• Through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• The rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for
example a low bed trailer, etc.).
• The obstacle is a fence, a wall or a
shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern
(a striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front.
• The obstacle is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front.
• Driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does
not have its taillights on
• Driving through a banner or flag,
low branches on a tree or thick/tall
vegetation
• On steep uphill or downhill grades
• The stereo camera is obstructed by
a hand, etc. (If even one of the
lenses is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
• It is completely dark and no objects are detected.
• The area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when com-
pletely covered in snow, etc.).
• Accurate detection is not possible
due to reflections in the windshield.
●Under the conditions listed below,
EyeSight may temporarily stop
operating. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the
conditions improve.
• The temperature inside the vehicle
is high, such as after the vehicle was left in bright sunshine, or the
temperature inside the vehicle is
low, such as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environ-
ment.
• Immediately after the engine starts

■Adaptive Cruise Control
This function maintains the set
vehicle speed and when there is a
vehicle in front in the same traffic
lane, it follows the speed of the
vehicle in front up to the maximum
of the set vehicle speed. ( P.185)
■Conventional Cruise Control
In this mode, the system maintains
a constant vehicl e speed. It does
not follow the vehicle in front. This
function can be used even when
the stereo camera has temporarily
stopped operating ( P.223). This
function is used by switching from
Adaptive Cruise Control to Conven-
tional Cruise Control. ( P.201)
■Pre-Collision Throttle Manage-
ment
This function reduces accidental
forward movement caused by the
shift lever being placed in the
wrong position or the accelerator
pedal being accidentally
depressed, or depressed too
strongly. ( P.209)
■Lane Departure Warning
This function warns the driver when
the vehicle is about to drift off the
road. ( P.214)
■Lane Sway Warning
This function warns the driver when
it detects vehicle drifting caused by
driver fatigue, failu re to concentrate
on the road, inattention, strong
crosswinds or other factors.
( P. 2 1 6 )
■Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver
when the vehicle stopped in front
starts moving but the driver’s vehi-
cle remains stationary. ( P.218)

●When the difference in speed with
the obstacle in front is the following
figure*1or more, it may not be possi- ble to avoid a collision. Even if the
speed difference is the following fig-
ure*1 or less, in cases such as when another vehicle cuts in front
of you, or in other cases depending
on visibility, the condition of road
surface and other factors*2, the function may be unable to stop the
vehicle or may not activate.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate depending on the
conditions*2 listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 50
km/h (30 mph),
For pedestrians: approximately 35
km/h (20 mph)
*2: Conditions in which Pre-Collision
Braking System cannot detect
obstacles:
• Distance to obstacle in front of you,
speed difference, proximity condi- tions, lateral di splacement (the
amount of offset)
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load,
number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slipperi-
ness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow,
fog or smoke, etc.)
• The detected object is something
other than a vehi cle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian.
A domestic animal or other animal
(a dog or deer, etc.)
A guardrail, telephone pole, tree,
fence or wall, etc.
• Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings
as well as the relative movement, and aspect or angle of the object,
there may be cases when the sys-
tem cannot detect it.
• The system determines that opera-
tion by the driver (based on acceler- ator pedal operation, braking,
steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action.
• Vehicle maintenance status (brake
systems, tire wear, tire pressure, etc.)
• A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.
• The brakes are cold due to the out- side temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
• The brakes are overheated on
downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance is reduced).
• In rain or after washing the vehicle
(the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced.)
• Recognition conditions of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may be
unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
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 or
dust stir up generated by the vehicle
in front or oncoming traffic.

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.

●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.)
