●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.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected runni ng ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is nec-
essary, the system 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 vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you st ops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). Afte r 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 pe rformed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is ope rated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accel-
erate to help to overt ake 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 vehi cle is driven to a
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from wh ere the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the tur n 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 overtaking lane is to the left, the

when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is
selected.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove
the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system
to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor
at low temperatures, a warning
message may be displayed or the
sensor may not be able to detect an
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed
even if the sensor i s clean, there
may be a sensor malfunction. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
●Do not attach a sticker or install
an electronic component, such
as a backlit license plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender pole or wireless
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding
area of the sensor to a strong
impact. If subjected to an
impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer. If the fr ont or rear
bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate
cover.
●Keep your tires properly
inflated.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable
the function as it may operate
even though there is no possibility
of a collision.
●Failing to observe the warnings
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.

■When the Crawl Control sys-
tem is operated continuously
●If Crawl Control is used continu-
ously for a long time, the brake
system overheats . In this case, a
buzzer will sou nd, a message
stating a malfunction will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display, and the Crawl Control
indicator will flash and then go off.
In this event, as Crawl Control will
be temporarily inoperable, stop
the vehicle immediately in a safe
place, and allow the brake system
to cool down suffi ciently until the
message goes off. (In the mean-
time, normal driving is possible.)
●If Crawl Control is used continu-
ously for a long time, the auto-
matic transmission overheats. In
this case, a buzzer will sound, the
system will be temporarily can-
celed, and a message stating a
malfunction may be displayed on
the multi-informat ion display. In
this event, stop th e vehicle in a
safe place until the message goes
off.
■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the Crawl Control system
●A sound may be heard from the
hybrid system compartment when
the hybrid system is started or just
after the vehicle begins to move.
This sound does not indicate that
a malfunction has occurred in
Crawl Control system.
●Either of the following conditions
may occur when the Crawl Control
system is operating. None of
these are indicators that a mal-
function has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after
the vehicle comes to a stop.
