When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected runni ng ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is nec-
essary, 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 suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you st ops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). Afte r the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not pe rformed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is ope rated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accel-
erate to help to overt ake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side
driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehi cle is driven to a
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from wh ere the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the tur n signal lever
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (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 system then
returns to constan t speed cruising.
1Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on
the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.

■The system can be operated
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is
selected.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-
sor” is displayed on the multi-
information display
A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove
the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system
to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor
at low temperatures, a warning
message may be displayed or the
sensor may not be able to detect an
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed
even if the sensor i s clean, there
may be a sensor malfunction. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
WARNING
●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 (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender pole or wireless
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 fr ont or rear
bumper needs to be
emoved/installed or replaced,
contact 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 suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
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 malfunc-
tion.

3285-6. Driving tips
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_en
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, outside rear
view mirrors, windows, vehi-
cle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Turn automatic mode of the
parking brake off. Otherwise,
the parking brake may freeze
and not be able to be
released automatically.
Also, avoid using the following
as the parking brake may
operate automatically, even if
automatic mode is off.
• Brake hold system
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift position to P without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
When the parking brake is in
automatic mode, release the
parking brake after shifting
the shift position to P.
( P.192)
If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake,
confirm that the shift position
cannot be moved out of P.
If the vehicle is left parked
with the brakes damp in cold
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
