4-2. Driving procedures
■Parking brake operation
●When the engine switch is not in ON, the parking brake cannot be released using the parking brake switch.
●When the engine switch is not in ON, automatic mode (automatic brake set-
ting and releasing [vehicles with a Multidrive]) is not available.
■Parking brake automatic release function
The parking brake is automatically released when slowly depress the accel-erator pedal.
The parking brake will be released auto- matically under the following conditions:
●The driver’s door is closed
●The driver is wearing the seat belt
●The shift lever is a forward or reverse position.
●The malfunction indicator lamp or brake system warning light is not illu-
minated.
If the automatic release function does not operate, manually release the park-
ing brake.
■Parking brake automatic lock func- tion
The parking brake will be set automati- cally under the following conditions:
●The driver does not operate the brake pedal.
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat belt.
●The shift lever position is not in P or N.
●The malfunction indicator lamp or
brake system warning light is not illu- minated.
■If “Parking Brake Temporarily Unavailable” is displayed on the
multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated repeat- edly over a short period of time, the sys-
tem may restrict operation to prevent overheating. If this happens, refrain from operating the parking brake. Normal
operation will return after about 1 min- ute.
■If “Parking Brake Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information
display
Operate the parking brake switch. If the message does not disappear after oper-
ating the switch several times, the sys- tem may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Parking brake operation sound
When the parking brake operates, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-tion.
■Parking brake operation
●Depending on the engine switch mode, the parking brake indicator and
parking brake light will turn on and stay on as described below:ON: Comes on until the parking brake
is released. Not in ON: Stays on for approximately 15 seconds.
●When the engine switch is turned off with the parking brake set, the parking
brake indicator and parking brake light will stay on for about 15 seconds. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■When the parking brake switch
malfunctions

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched
or the windshield is subject to vibra- tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility.
This may lead to an accident, result- ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid
spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, d etermines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distanc e may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appe ars
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 ti me). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order t o maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning war ns 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 sto p (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressin g the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will res ume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control con tinues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t o an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will acc elerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may b e determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (lef t 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 no rmally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in th e 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 syst em then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.245)

2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.

1Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake
pedal does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise
control is not possible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound
to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts
in front of you while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
Immediately after the cruise con-
trol speed was set
When depressing the accelerator
pedal
When constant speed control mode
is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode does not function correctly
due to a dirty radar, etc.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with
Road Sign Assist can be
enabled/disabled in on the
multi-information display. ( P.457)
When the Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill,
the vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed.
In this case, the displayed set vehi-
cle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
■Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more. (However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approxi-
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approximately 30 km/h [20 mph].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehi-cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating
the accelerator pedal. After accelerat- ing, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the preceding
vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while fol-
low-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while the
vehicle ahead stops will resume fol- low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 sec-
onds after the switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3
seconds after your vehicle stops, fol- low-up cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the follow-ing situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly
because it is covered in some way.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving support system operates. (For example: Pre-Collision System,
Drive-Start Control)
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system con- trol on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control: • The driver is not wearing a seat belt.• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled for any reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.

■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver of the need for cau-tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis- play, read the message and follow the instructions. ( P.215, 413)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend- ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning ( P.245) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
