■Differences with “TOW HAUL”
mode and “TOW+” mode
It is recommend ed to use each
mode according to the weight of the
trailer to be towed.
●“TOW HAUL” mode is used when
towing trailers that weigh less than
5000 lb. (2268 kg).
●“TOW+” mode is used when tow-
ing trailers that weigh more than
5000 lb. (2268 kg).

■High beam automatic turning
on or off conditions
●When all of the following condi-
tions are fulfille d, the high beam
will be automatica lly turned on
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is
dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions
are fulfilled, the h igh beam will be
automatically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is
not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection infor-
mation
●The high beam may not be auto-
matically turned off in the following
situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sud- denly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on a wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no
lights
●The high beam ma y be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without using the headlights
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illuminated billboards
or signs may cause the high beam
to switch to the low beams, or the
low beams to remain on.
●The following fact ors may affect
the amount of time taken to turn
the high beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles
ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has
operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi- ent, curve, condition of the road
surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The high beam ma y be turned on
or off when the driver does not
expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not
be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the
system may not be able to accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness levels. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to cause problems for
pedestrians, vehicles ahead or
other parties. In these cases,
manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (r ain, snow, fog,

WARNING
●Emergency steering assist may
not operate or may be cancel in
the following cases as the sys-
tem may determine the driver is
taking actions.
• If the accelerato r pedal is being
depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is being operated sharply,
the brake pedal is being
depressed or the turn signal
lever is being ope rated. In this
case, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking
evasive action and the emer-
gency steering assist may not
operate.
• The emergency steering assist will be disabled automatically
when the system judges that a
trailer is connected.
• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator peda l is depressed
strongly, the st eering wheel is
operated sharply or the brake
pedal is being depressed and
the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held firmly or is
operated in the opposite direc-
tion to that which the system is
generating torque, the function
may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable
the system, as it may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicles is towing a
trailer or another vehicle, except
when the followin g conditions
are all met
• When the other vehicle is a trailer properly attached and
connected to Toyota’s official
TBC ECU. ( P.181)
• When the vehicle is not being driven on a slippery surface
such as an icy road or a very
wet road.
●When transporting the vehicle
via truck, boat, train or similar
means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a
lift with the hybrid system on
and the tires are allowed to
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle
using a drum tester such as a
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied
to the front bumper or front
grille, due to an accident or
other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in
a stable manner, such as when
the vehicle has been in an acci-
dent or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●When tire chains are installed
●When a compact spare tire or
an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
2364-5. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en• The steering wheel is tur
ned sharply or abruptly.
●Emergency steering assist
When the turn signal lights are flashing, emergency steering as sist will not
operate in case of an emergency.
The emergency steeri ng assist will be disabl ed automatically when the sys-
tem judges that a trailer is connected.
If any of the following occur wh ile the emergency steering assi st function is
operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is tur ned sharply or abruptly.
• The brake pedal is depressed.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision warning)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at
an intersection which targets on coming vehicles does not work.
When the system judges that a trailer is detected, intersection support is dis-
abled for vehicles and pedestrians.

When the system judges that a trailer is detected, intersection support is dis-
abled for vehicles and pedestrians.
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based
on their size, profile, motion, etc.
However, an object may not be
detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion,
posture, and angle of the detected
object, preventing the system from
operating properly. ( P.239)
The illustration sh ows an image of
detectable objects.
■Conditions under which the
system may operate even if
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine
that there is a po ssibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while over- taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable
object in an adjacent lane or on
the roadside, such as when changing the course of travel or
driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable
objects, guardrails, utility poles,
trees, or walls
• When there is a d etectable object
or other object by the roadside at
the entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or paint in front of your vehicle that may be
mistaken for a detectable object
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.

■Steering assist function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane, the system pro-
vides assistance as necessary
by operating the steering wheel
in small amounts for a short
period of time to keep the vehi-
cle in its lane.
When the system de termines that

within a lane, the warning
buzzer will sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the
