The following steps may be used as
an emergency measure to ensure
that the shift lev er can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.

can be changed to by operating
the paddle shift switches while
the shift lever is in the D posi-
tion.
When this occurs, the selected
gear and “M” are displayed on
the shift position and shift range
indicator.
(When engine speed rises close
to the red zone, upshifting will
be automatically performed.)

bly leading to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.

driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following conditions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The shift lever is shifted out of P (vehicles with an automatic trans-

light on the side that the turn sig-
nals are flashing will turn off.
●When the emergency flashers are
flashing, both daytime running
lights will turn off.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.

EyeSight is a driving sup-
port system that uses a
range of functions to assist
the driver in making deci-
sions in order to provide for
more safe and comfortable
driving and to reduce driver
fatigue. Making use of
images created by the ste-
reo camera, EyeSight
detects vehicles, obstacles,
traffic lanes and other items
ahead.
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving
safely. Always comply with all traf-
fic rules and regulations regard-
less of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with EyeSight. Always
maintain a safe following dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings
and driving condi tions, and take
necessary actions in order to
maintain a safe following dis-
tance.
Never attempt to d rive relying on
EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the
driver in making decisions in order
to reduce the risk of accidents or
damage and lessen the burden on
the driver.
When an EyeSight warning is
activated, pay attention to what is
in front of you and to your sur-
roundings, and take necessary
actions. This system is not
designed to support driving in
poor visibility or in extreme
weather conditions, or to protect
against careless driving when the
driver is not paying complete
attention to the road ahead. It also
cannot prevent c ollisions from
occurring in all driving conditions.

• A heavy cargo is inside the vehicle.
• The maximum number of occu- pants is exceeded.
• The meter is not operating prop- erly; such as when the lights do
not illuminate, the beeps do not
sound, the display is different

●The system will not operate cor-
rectly in the following condi-
tions. Do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control or Conventional
Cruise Control.
• The wheels are out of balance (e.g., the balance weight is
removed or misaligned).

*2: If the brake system warning
light (red) does not turn off,
immediately pull the vehicle
over in a safe place and con-
tact a Toyota dealer to have the
system inspected.

NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are simila r to those of
human eyes. For this reason,
conditions that make it difficult
for the driver to see in the for-
ward direction have the same
effect on the stereo camera.
They also make it difficult for the
system to detect vehicles,
obstacles, and traffic lanes.
●Detection by the EyeSight sys-
tem is limited to objects that are
within the range of the stereo
camera’s field of view. Also,
after an object enters the range
of the camera’s field of view, it
may take some time for the sys-
tem to detect it as a controllable
target and to warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the
vehicle cannot be detected.

Driving
EyeSight includes the following
functions.
■Pre-Collision Braking Sys-
tem
This function uses a following
distance warning feature to
warn the driver to take evasive
action when there is the possi-
bility of a collision with a vehicle,
pedestrian or obstacle in front of
you. If the driver does not take
evasive action, the brakes are
applied automatically to help
reduce vehicle collision dam-
age or, if possible, help prevent
a collision. ( P.179)
■Adaptive Cruise Control
This function maintains the set
vehicle speed and when there is
a vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane, it follows the speed
of the vehicle in front up to the
maximum of the set vehicle
speed. ( P.190)
■Conventional Cruise Con-
trol
In this mode, the system main-
tains a constant vehicle speed.
It does not follow the vehicle in
front. This function can be used
even when the stereo camera
has temporarily stopped operat-
ing ( P.229). This function is
used by switching from Adaptive
Cruise Control to Conventional
Cruise Control. ( P.207)
NOTICE
●Keep the windshield (outside
and inside) clean at all times.
When the windshield has
become fogged, or it has a dirt
or an oil film on it, the stereo
camera may not detect objects
accurately and the EyeSight
system may not operate cor-
rectly. Never mount any device
to the center air vent, as any air-
flow change may impact Eye-
Sight performance.
●Do not place any stickers or
accessories on the windshield
(outside or inside). If you have
to do so (for example, legally
required or electronic toll tag),
avoid the area directly in front of
the camera. Otherwise, it may
adversely affect the field of view
of the stereo camera and can
cause improper operation of the
system. For details, contact a
Toyota dealer.
●Do not use any glass coating
agents or similar substances on
the windshield. Doing so may
interfere with the proper opera-
tion of the system.
●Do not install any film or an
additional layer of glass on the
windshield. The system may not
operate correctly.
●If there are scratches or cracks
on the windshield, contact a
Toyota dealer.
●To have the windshield replaced
or repaired, contact a Toyota
dealer. Do not install a wind-
shield other than a genuine Toy-
ota windshield. The stereo
camera may not be able to
detect objects accurately and
the EyeSight system may not
operate properly.

Some unusual noises may be audi-
ble during automatic braking. This is
caused by the braking control and is
normal.
Pre-Collision Braking
System*
When there is the risk of a
rear-end collision with an
obstacle or pedestrian in
front, the EyeSight system
helps to prevent or minimize
a collision by warning the
driver. If the driver still does
not take evasive action to
avoid a collision, the brakes
can be automatically
applied just before the colli-
sion in order to reduce
impact damage, or if possi-
ble, prevent the collision. If
the driver takes evasive
action to avoid a collision,
Pre-Collision Braking Assist
will operate in order to help
the driver to prevent or min-
imize the collision.
This function can be acti-
vated when the shift lever is
in the D, M or N position.
