OYou can choose from 6 levels of accelerating force and engine braking force.
OA lower shift range will provide greater accelerating force and engine braking
force than a higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also increase.
OTo prevent the engine from over-rev-ving, upshifting may automatically
occur when the shift range is 3 or lower.
OWhen the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the shift range to 6.
QDownshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving per- formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever or
paddle shift switches (if equipped) is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
QIf the “S” indicator does not come on or the “D” indicator is displayed
even after shifting the shift lever to S
This may indicate a malfunction in the
transmission system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately. (In this situation, the transmission will oper-
ate in the same manner as when the shift lever is in D.)

the steering wheel vibrates, check the
area around your vehicle and carefully
operate the steering wheel to move the
vehicle back to the center of the lane.
Vehicles with BSM: When the system
determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane and that the possi-
bility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
lane departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
QSteering assist function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane or course
*, the system pro-
vides assistance as necessary by
operating the steering wheel in
small amounts for a short period of
time to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been operated for a fixed
amount of time or the steering wheel is
not being firmly gripped, a warning is
displayed on the multi-information dis-
play and the function is temporarily
canceled.
Vehicles with BSM: When the system

QTemporary cancelation of functions
OWhen operation conditions are no lon-
ger met, a function may be temporar-
ily canceled. However, when the
operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function is automati-
cally restored. (P.325)
OIf the operation conditions (P.325)
are no longer met while the lane cen-
tering function is operating, the steer-
ing wheel may vibrate and the buzzer
may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled.
However, if the “Alert” customization
setting is set to , the system will
notify the driver by vibrating the steer-
ing wheel instead of sounding the
buzzer.

overridden by the driver’s steering
wheel operation.
ODo not attempt to test the operation of
the steering assist function.
QLane departure alert function
OThe warning buzzer may be difficult to
hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc. Also, it may be difficult to
feel steering wheel vibrations due to
the road conditions, etc.

Driving
*1: Displayed simultaneously with
speed limit.
*2: Contents not recognized.
*3: If the turn signal indicator is not
operated when changing lanes, the
mark does not display.
In the following situations, the RSA
system will notify the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed notification threshold
of the speed limit sign displayed,
the sign display will be empha-
sized and a buzzer will sound.
When the RSA system recog-
nizes a no-entry sign and detects
that the vehicle has entered a
no-entry area based on the map
information of the navigation sys-
tem, the no-entry sign flashes
and a buzzer will sound. (For
vehicles with navigation system)
If it is detected that your vehicle
is overtaking when a no overtak-
ing sign is displayed on the multi-
information display, the dis-
played sign will flash and a steer-
ing wheel will vibrate.
Depending on the situation, traffic
environment (traffic direction,
speed unit) may be detected incor-
rectly and a notification function
may not operate properly.

OThe road changes due to a left or right
turn, etc.
QConditions in which the function
may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not
operate normally and may not recognize
signs, display the incorrect sign, etc.

ble sign is recognized.
OSide road speed signs may be
detected and displayed (if positioned

Notification function

3365-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
