sions in any situation.
●If the vehicle is reversed at an

●Do not wipe the camera with alco-
hol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may
occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth
moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent. Then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be care-
ful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with
the camera, moisten a clean cloth
with a diluted neutral detergent to
remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coat-
ing to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehi-
cle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the cam-
era lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens.
The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical lines
around the light source. This is not
a malfunction.
●Under the fluore
scent light, the
display may flicker. However, this
is not a malfunction.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era may be slightly different from
the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a mal function on the
multimedia system screen, refer to
“MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is
attached to the trunk lid.
When the engine switch is
in ON and the shift lever is
set to R, the rear view cam-
era automatically displays
the rear view image behind
the vehicle on the multime-
dia system screen.
WARNING
●Since the rear view camera
uses a wide-angle lens, the
image on the monitor is different
from the actual view in terms of
distance.
●Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, always
check the rear view and the sur-
rounding area with your eyes
and mirrors, and move back-
ward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the
rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to touch the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.

When the shift lever is set to R,
the rear view camera automati-
cally displays the rear view
image from the vehicle. When
the lever is set to other posi-
tions, the image before setting
to R is displayed.
1Set the engine switch to ON.
2 Set the shift lever to R.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era is horizontally reversed as is
the case with the vehicle inside mirror or the outside mirror.
●When “Rear Camera Delay Con-
trol” is on, the r
ear view image
from the r ear view camera will be
displayed on the multimedia sys-
tem screen for a certain amount of
time after the shift lever is shifted
from R to another position. When
any of the following conditions are
met, the rear view image will be
canceled:
• The shift lever is shifted to P (vehi- cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
• The vehicle speed becomes approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
• The parking brake is engaged
• 9 seconds have elapsed since the shift lever was shifted from R to
another position
To turn the function on and off, refer
to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
●It may be difficult to see the image
of the rear view camera in the fol-
lowing cases. This is not a mal-
function of the camera.
• The vehicle is in a dark place (at night, in a tunnel, etc.).
• The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
• An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera
sticks to the lens of the camera.
• Strong light is shining directly on the camera lens ( occasionally,
there are vertical lines on the
screen).
The area from the rear end of
the bumper can be viewed.
Areas at both ends of the
bumper and areas just under the
bumper cannot be viewed.
NOTICE
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, mal-
function, fire or electric shock
may occur.
●If mud or snow sticks to or is fro-
zen on the camera, you must be
very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the cam-
era may cause a fire or electric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to
remove mud and ice, and wipe
it with a soft, dry cloth.
●Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wirin g. Otherwise,
damage or fire may occur.
●When replacing the fuse, be
sure to use a fuse with the spec-
ified rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
●If you use the rear view camera
for a long time while the engine
is not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.

●Conventional Cruise Control
enables you to maintain a con-
stant vehicle speed without hold-
ing your foot on the accelerator
pedal and it is operative when the
vehicle speed is 20 mph (30 km/h)
or more.
●Make sure the Conventional
Cruise Control system is turned
off when the Conventional Cruise
Control is not in use to avoid unin-
tentionally setting of the Conven-
tional Cruise Control.
1After the engine has started,
press the “ON-OFF” switch of
the cruise control switch.
The Conventional Cruise Control
indicator (white) on the meter will
illuminate.
2Depress the accelerator
pedal until the vehicle
reaches the desired speed.
Conventional Cruise
Control (vehicles with-
out the EyeSight)
Conventional Cruise Con-
trol is a driving support sys-
tem intended to allow more
comfortable driving on
expressways, freeways and
interstate highways. It can
be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining
the vehicle speed set by the
driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed
posted speed limits.
WARNING
●Do not use the Conventional
Cruise Control under any of the
following conditions. These may
cause loss of vehicle control.
• In heavy traffic
• On roads with sharp bends
• On winding roads
• On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or
snow
• On steep hills
• Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when d riving down a
steep hill.
• During emergency towing
●When using the Conventional
Cruise Control, always set the
speed appropriately according
to the speed limit, traffic flow,
road conditions, and other con-
ditions.

There are two ways to turn off
the Conventional Cruise Con-
trol:
Press the “ON-OFF” switch of
the cruise control switch
again.
Turn the engine switch to the
ACC or OFF (but only when
the vehicle is completely
stopped).
■To increase the speed (by
the cruise control switch)
Push the cruise control switch to
the “+RES” side and hold it until
the vehicle reaches the desired
speed. Then, release the switch.
The vehicle speed at that
moment will be memorized and
treated as the new set speed.
When setting the displayed
unit as “MPH”:
The set speed can be increased
1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time by
pushing the cruise control
switch to the “+RES” side.
When setting the displayed
unit as “km/h”:
The set speed can be increased
1 km/h (0.6 mph) each time by
pushing the cruise control
switch to the “+RES” side.
■To increase the speed (by
accelerator pedal)
1 Depress the accelerator
pedal to accelerate the vehi-
cle to the desired speed.
2 Push the cruise control
switch to the “-SET” side
once. Now the desired speed
is set and the vehicle will
keep running at that speed
without depressing the accel-
erator pedal.
