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.

●When Pre-Collision Braking System is
turned off, Pre-Collision Throttle Man-
agement is also turned off. ( P.213)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Colli-
sion Throttle Management. Pre-Colli-
sion Throttle Management is not
designed to help you avoid collisions in all situations. Always check the
shift lever and pedal positions as well
as the surrounding environment before starting and operating the
vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision
Throttle Management could result in an accident.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the
vehicle in a stopped condition.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management
will not reduce acceleration under
all conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this
function will not reduce acceleration in cases where no obstacle is
detected (for example when
approaching a cliff, etc.).
●Do not intentionally depress the
accelerator pedal excessively when there are obstacles nearby. If the
driver relies only on Pre-Collision
Throttle Management to control acceleration, col lisions may occur.
●If your vehicle is trapped on a rail- road crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the
crossing gate, the stereo camera may recognize the crossing gate as
an obstacle and Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm
and either continue to depress the
accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision Throttle Management
system. (P.212)
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
may not activate depending on the
following conditions:
●The distance between your vehicle
and the obstacle, speed difference, and horizontal offset
●Recognition status of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may not acti-
vate in the fo llowing cases:
• Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• Visibility is poor due to sand or
smoke in the air.
• Light is poor in the evening, early
morning, or at night.
• In a dark area (indoor parking area,
etc.)
• There is an obstacle outside the
area illuminated by the headlights.
• Strong light is coming from the front
(for example sunlight at sunrise or
sunset headlight beams, etc.).
• 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.

■BSD/RCTA approach warning
buzzer (only when reversing)
A warning buzzer sounds along
with flashing of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator to warn the
driver of dangers. The setting of the
warning buzzer volume can be
changed by operating the multime-
dia system screen. ( P.377)
■Safety tips regarding the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor/warning buzzer
In the following cases, operation
of the BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator and the warning buzzer
may be delayed or the system
may fail to issue these warnings.
• When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
• When driving on a steep incline or on
repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
• When going beyond a pass
• When both your vehicle and a vehicle
driving on a neighboring lane are
driving on the far side of each lane.
• When several narrowly-spaced vehi-
cles are approaching in a row

4-7. Driving tips
DrivingPerform the following according to
the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is frozen,
the window safety device will
operate and the side window
open/close function linked to
door operation may not operate
correctly. If this occurs, perform
the following after the ice has
melted.
After opening the window to the
approximately half open position,
perform initialization. ( P.126)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission), or 1 or R (manual
transmission) with out setting the
parking brake. The parking brake
may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the park-
ing brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
Vehicles with an automatic trans-
WA R N I N G
Always use the utmost care when
driving with tire chains - overconfi-
dence because you are driving with tire chains could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the
operation of the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters.
