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).
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.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There  is  a  limit  to  the  degree  of  recognition  accuracy  and  cont rol  perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this  system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicl e’ surroundings
and driving safely.
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  the  vehicle  being  unable  to  be  driven  safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
● Do not attach a sticker or install an electronic component, such as a backlit
license  plate  (especially  fluorescent  type),  fog  lights,  fender   pole  or  wire-
less 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 front or rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, con-
tact 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 suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■ Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor a rea.
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 malfunction.
● When using an automatic car wash, disable the intuitive parking  assist

WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components, etc. to catch fire.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.
When  washing  the  vehicle,  be  careful  not  to  touch  the  pipes  unt il  it  has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipes can cause  burns.
■ Precaution  regarding  the  rear  bumper  with  Blind  Spot  Monitor  (i f
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may mal-
function.  If  this  occurs,  avoid  using  the  system  and  consult  your  Toyota
dealer.
NOTICE
■ To  prevent  paint  deterioration  an d  corrosion  on  the  body  and  compo-
nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If  dead  insects,  insect  droppings  or  bird  droppings  are  present  on  the
paint surface
• After  driving  in an  area  contaminated  with  soot, oily  smoke, mine  dust, iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the pai nt surface
● If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
■ Cleaning the exterior lights
● Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a h ard brush. 
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
● Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.

Maintenance and care
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been repla ced, a bulb may
need replacement. ( P. 502)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■ If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness f rom damage.
WARNING
■ To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  damage  to  the  vehicle,  and  possibly  a  fire  or
injury.
● Never  use  a  fuse  of  a  higher  amperage  rating  than  that  indicated,  or  use
any other object in place of a fuse.
● Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
● Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have  the  cause  of  electrical  overload  determined  and  repaired  b y  your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
● Turn  off  the  lights.  Do  not  attempt  to  replace  the  bulb  immediately  after
turning off the lights. 
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hand s. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clea n dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may  result  in  heat  damage,  fire,  or  water  entering  the  headligh t  unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on  the lens.
■ To prevent damage or fire 
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop  your  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  immediately  and  contact  your  Toyota
dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braki ng, and the
ABS  system  may  fail,  which  could  cause  an  accident  resulting  in  death  or
serious injury.
■ When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When  the  light  comes  on  yellow,  the  assist  to  the  power  steering  is
restricted. When the light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is
lost  and  handling  operations  of  the  steering  wheel  become  extre mely
heavy.  When  steering  wheel  operations  are  heavier  than  usual,  grip  the
steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usua l.
■
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be  sure  to  observe  the  following  precautions.  Failure  to  do  so  could
cause a loss of vehicle control  and result in death or serious  injury.
●Stop  your  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  as  soon  as  possible. Adjust  the  tire
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inf lation pres-
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Chec k the tires.
If  a  tire  is  flat,  change  it  with  the  spare  tire  and  have  the  flat  tire
repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires dete riorate,
you could lose control of the  steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system  may not activate immediately.
