Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill,  the set vehicle 
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle 
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes  are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The 
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the 
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If 
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle 
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower 
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then 
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off:
If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (contr olled 
stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES” 
switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-u p 
cruising (start off operation). If a start off operation is not  per-

In situations where the vehicle 
approaches a preceding vehicle 
and the system cannot provide 
sufficient deceleration, such as 
if a vehicle cuts in front of the 
vehicle, a warning display will 
flash and a buzzer will sound to 
alert the driver. Depress the 
brake pedal to ensure appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur 
when
In the following situations, the 
warning may not operate even 
though the vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance is short.
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at the same speed 
or faster than your vehicle
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at an extremely low 
speed
 Immediately after the vehicle 
speed has been set
 When the accelerator pedal is 
depressed
When a curve is detected, the 
vehicle speed will begin being 
reduced. When the curve ends, 
the vehicle speed reduction will 
end.
Depending on the situation, the  vehicle speed will then return to the 
set vehicle speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control needs to oper-
ate, such as when a preceding 
vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle, 
the curve speed reduction function 
will be canceled.
■Situations in which the curve 
speed reduction function may 
not operate
In situations such as the following, 
the curve speed reduction function 
may not operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven 
around a gentle curve
●When the accele rator pedal is 
being depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven 
around an extremely short curve
If your vehicle is being driven at 
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) 
or more and a lane change to 
the passing lane is performed, 
when the turn signal lever is 
operated and the lane is 
changed, the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the set speed to 
assist in overtaking.

Driving
Through control state “warning 
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”, 
the system determines if the 
driver is aware and responsive 
while outputting a warning and 
controlling the vehicle speed. If 
the system determines the 
driver is not responsive, it will 
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold 
phase” and decelerate and stop 
the vehicle. It will then operate 
continuously in “stop hold 
phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system opera tes when all of 
the following cond itions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is 
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) 
or more
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system 
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been 
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise 
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are 
detected (the steering wheel is 
held, the brake pedal, accelerator 
pedal, parking brake, hazard light 
switch, or turn sig nal lever is oper-
ated)
●When the driving assist switch is 
pressed while in the stop and hold 
phase
●When the engine switch has been 
turned from ON to off
●Situations in whic h some or all of 
the functions of the system cannot  operate:

■LTA control when operation is 
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not 
detected after the hands off 
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the system will judge if the driver 
is responsive or not. If driving 
operations, such as holding the 
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount 
of time, the system will enter 
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, 
a buzzer will sound in short 
intervals and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such 
as holding the steering wheel, 
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system 
will determine that the driver is 
not responsive and enter the 
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted 
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
●The driver is solely responsible 
for safe driving. Always drive 
safely, taking care to observe 
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts 
the driver that a  vehicle is in a 
blind spot of the outside rear 
view mirrors or is approaching 
rapidly from behind into a blind 
spot. Do not overly rely on the 
Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to 
change lanes, over reliance 
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As 
the system may not function 
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual 
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.

System componentsWARNING
■To ensure the system can 
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are 
installed behind the left and right 
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to 
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can 
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear 
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area 
on the rear bumper  is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot 
Monitor may not  operate and a 
warning message will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off 
the dirt or snow and drive the 
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the BSM function 
(
P.235) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning 
message does not disappear, 
have the vehicle inspected by 
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a ccessories, 
stickers (including transparent 
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to 
a sensor or its surrounding area 
on the rear bumper. 

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
The Blind Spot Monitor can be 
enabled/disabled on   
(4.2-inch display) or   (7-inch 
display) of the multi-information 
display. (P.412)
When the Blind Spot Monitor 
function is off, the driving assist 
information indicator ( P.84) 
will illuminate. At this time, 
"Blind Spot Monitor OFF" will be 
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Each time the engine switch is 
turned to ON, the Blind Spot 
Monitor is enabled.
■Objects that can be detected while driving
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of 
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear 
view mirrors.
WARNING
●Do not subject a  sensor or its 
surrounding area on the rear 
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is  moved even 
slightly off position, the system 
may malfunction and vehicles 
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have 
your vehicle inspected by your 
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area  is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sen- sor is scratched or dented, or 
part of them has become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear 
bumper.
●If a sensor or th e rear bumper 
needs to be removed/installed 
or replaced, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper 
any color other than an official 
Toyota color.
