iMT detects clutch pedal and shift lever operations performed by the
driver. When the shift position is changed, iMT judges the optimal
engine speed and performs the appropriate control to help the driver
to change the shift position smoothly.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The “iMT” indicator will come on.
Press the switch again to cancel

■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.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any
reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.

■ Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
● Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the set vehicle speed.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 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.
● 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.
If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any reasons
other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■ The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly in conditions in which RSA may not operate or detect correctly
( P. 298), when using this function, make sure to check the speed limit
sign displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed may not be changed to the recog-
nized speed limit by pushing the lever up or down.
● If speed limit information is not available
● When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
● When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
■ Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■ Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P. 270, 575)

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed
is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired direc-
tion.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in
the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1.0 km/h (0.6 mph) each time the lever
is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continu-
ally until the lever is released.
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brakes are applied or the
clutch pedal (manual transmission
only) is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the constant speed control.
Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately
30 km/h (20 mph).

■Shifting from H4 to L4
Stop the vehicle.
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the vehicle is mov-
ing.
Firmly depress the clutch
pedal.
Keep depressing the clutch
pedal until switching the transfer
mode is completed (indicator
on).
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the clutch pedal is
not fully depressed.
Push and turn the front-
wheel drive control switch to
L4.
The low speed four-wheel drive
indicator light flashes while
switching.
If turning the front-wheel drive
control switch without following
steps and , the low speed
four-wheel drive indicator light
flashes and a buzzer sounds.
Return the front-wheel drive
control switch to H4 and try
steps and again.
If the clutch pedal is released while the low speed four-wheel drive indi-
cator light is flashing, gear noise may be caused. Immediately depress
the clutch pedal firmly and wait until switching the transfer mode is com-
pleted.

Stop & Star t system
■Stopping the engine
Vehicles with automatic transmission
While driving with the D shift
position selected, depress
the brake pedal and stop the
vehicle. The engine will stop
automatically.
When the engine stops, the
Stop & Start indicator will illu-
minate.
Vehicles with manual transmission
Fully depress the clutch pedal and depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
Move the shift lever to N and
release the clutch pedal. The
engine will stop automati-
cally.
When the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system,
the Stop & Start indicator will
illuminate.
: If equipped
The Stop & Start system stops and starts the engine according
to brake pedal (vehicles with automatic transmission) or clutch
pedal (vehicles with manual transmission) or shift lever opera-
tion when the vehicle is stopped, such as at a stoplight, inter-
section, etc., in order to improve fuel economy and reduce noise
pollution caused by the engine idling.
