2023 TOYOTA HILUX cruise control

1402. Instrument cluster
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
If the accelerator pedal is not depressed, such as when the vehicle is driven
using cruise control (if equipped) or dynamic radar cruise control (if
equipped), the driven distance is not included in the Eco Score.
The Eco Score evaluation differs depending on the driving conditions and
environmental factors. The Eco Score may not be linked to fuel consumption.
The Eco Score will not operate in the following conditions:
● The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (80 mph) or higher.
● The shift lever is in a position other than D. (vehicles with automatic trans-
mission)
● A paddle shift switch is operated. (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
● Front-wheel drive control switch is in L4. (if equipped)
● Downhill assist control system is operating. (if equipped)
● The vehicle is in the power mode. (if equipped)
■ Eco Saving
Displays the fuel consumption comparison, the average fuel consumption
after reset, and the cost of the consumed fuel.
• The function can be reset by pressing more than 1 second when the
average fuel consumption after reset is displayed
• Use the average fuel consumption as a reference
Savings/fuel cost
Displays the possible savings if the fuel consumption comparison is set,
and displays the actual fuel cost if the fuel consumption comparison is not
set.
Use the displayed fuel cost and savings as a reference. Depending on refuel-
ing methods, driving conditions and environmental factors, the displayed fuel
cost may differ from the actual fuel cost, and in some cases, the fuel cost and
savings may not be linked to the Eco Score evaluation.
■ Eco Saving setting
The fuel price and fuel consumption comparison settings can be set in the
settings display. Use the meter control switches to select while the vehicle
is stopped and press , and select “Eco Saving” and press .
Fuel consumption comparison
Displays the set fuel consumption that
is compared with the actual fuel con-
sumption.
Average fuel consumption after reset
Displays the average fuel consumption
since the function was reset.

WARNING
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
( P. 211)
■ Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■ Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long down hill grades.
■ Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
■ To avoid accident or injury
● The gross combination mass (sum of your vehicle mass plus its load and
the total trailer mass) must not exceed the following:
Single-cab models
6000 kg (13228 lb.): 4WD models
Smart-cab models
6200 kg (13669 lb.)
Double-cab models
6000 kg (13228 lb.): Pre Runner
6300 kg (13889 lb.): 4WD models for model code destination W*
*: See “Checking your vehicle’s model” if you are not sure of which model
your vehicle is. ( P. 1 2)
● Do not use the following systems when trailer towing.
• Cruise control (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control (if equipped)

■Tire information
● Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi)
greater than the recommended value when towing. ( P. 640)
● Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
■ Tr a i l e r l i g h ts
Check that the turn signal lights and stoplights are operating correctly every
time you hitch up the trailer. Direct ly wiring up to your vehicle may damage
the electrical system and stop the lights from functioning correctly.
■ When towing a trailer
Disable the following systems, as the systems may not operate properly.
● LDA (Lane Departure Alert With Yaw Assist Function) (If equipped)
( P. 283)
● Dynamic radar cruise control (If equipped) (P. 300)
● Cruise control (If equipped) (P. 316)
● Toyota parking assist-sensor (If equipped) (P. 320)
■ Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
■ Safety checks before towing
● Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch ball
is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that the total load exerted
on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. ( P. 211)
● Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
● Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the
extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that they
always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
■ Maintenance
● Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle compared to
normal driving.
● Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
■ S mode
When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 6.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles
with automatic air conditioning system)
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 446). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■ Deactivation of the driving mode
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO” switch is pressed, even
if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode.
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power
mode.
● Driving mode will be canceled if the transfer mode is shifted to L4 while the
driving mode is in other than normal mode. (if equipped)
■ When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control acti-
vated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic
radar cruise control will not be canceled.
● While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 234)
● When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in D.
( P. 232)
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control) (vehicles with VSC sys-
tem)
 P. 193
■ Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is being
depressed.

WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed to operate under the assumption that
the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the
occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in
normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround-
ings and driving safely.

3004-5. Using the driving support systems
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
Dynamic radar cruise control
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically
accelerates and decelerates to match the speed changes of the pre-
ceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. In con-
stant speed control mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control on freeways and highways.
● Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode (P. 304)
● Constant speed control mode (P. 310)
