Driving
CAMRY_UWhen the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking  lane  while  driving  at  50  mph  (80  km/h)  or  more,  the  vehi
cle  will
accelerate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The  system’s  identification  of  what  is  an  overtaking  lane  may  b e  deter-
mined solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the  vehicle (left
side driver position versus right side driver position.) If the  vehicle is driven
to a region where the overtaking lane is on a different side fr om where the
vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the  turn signal
lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking l ane (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 vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).
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.
Press  the  cruise  control  main
switch  to  activate  the  cruise
control.
Dynamic  radar  cruise  control  indi-
cator  will  come  on  and  a  message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Press  the  switch  again  to  deacti-
vate 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. 301)
Accelerate  or  decelerate,  with
accelerator  pedal  operation,  to
the  desired  vehicle  speed  (at  or
above  approximately  20  mph
[30 km/h]) and press the “- SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise  control  “SET”  indicator  will
come on.
The  vehicle  speed  at  the  moment
the switch is released becomes the
set speed.

Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When  a  preceding  vehicle  driving  slower  than  the  set  speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates  your  vehicle.  When  a  greater  reduction  in  vehicle  s peed  is
necessary,  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  su ffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle fr om closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking  lane  while  driving  at  50  mph  (80  km/h)  or  more,  the  vehi cle  will
accelerate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The  system’s  identification  of  what  is  an  overtaking  lane  may  b e  deter-
mined solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the  vehicle (left
side driver position versus right side driver position.) If the  vehicle is driven
to a region where the overtaking lane is on a different side fr om where the
vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the  turn signal
lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking l ane (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 vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).

mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind  into  a  blind  spot,  the  out-

: If equipped
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that uses rear side radar se n-
