■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
● The shift lever is in D. (Vehicles with automatic transmission)
● The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
● Depending on the control mode, this item can be set at the following
speeds.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more
• Constant speed control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ Shift position selection (vehicles with manual transmission)
Select a shift position according to the vehicle speed. If the engine speed is
too high or too low, control may be automatically canceled.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
● VSC is activated.
● TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Coll ision System, Drive-Start Control)
● When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
● 4WD models: Switching the transfer mode is not completed within 5 sec-
onds while the cruise control system is on.

■Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
● The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
● Front corner sensor:
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
● The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Detection may be impossible if the objects draw too close to the sensor.
● There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
● Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
● Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects
● Low objects
● Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
● Moving objects such as people or animals
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
■ Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)

● The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen, the screen may show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected.
● The sensor is covered in any way.
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass
● When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of ot her vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle.
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● If objects draw too close to the sensor.
● When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
● When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
● Strong wind is blowing.
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
● When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object.
● If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
● If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact.
● When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow.
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning.
● When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
● When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold
