the driver is driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel while the
steering wheel assist of the steer-
ing assist function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and
the steering wheel assist is operat-
ing, the buzzer sounds and the

*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or navigation
system (when speed limit infor-
mation is available) to provide
information to the driver via the
display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over the
speed limit, performing prohib-
ited actions, etc., according to
the recognized road signs, it
notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notifica-
tion buzzer.When the front camera recog-
nizes a sign and/or information
of a sign is available from the
navigation system, the sign will
be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.

When the driving support sys-
tem information is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be
displayed. ( P.97)
 When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation is selected, the follow-
ing types of road signs will be
displayed. ( P.97)

WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA
system. RSA is a system which
supports the driver by providing
information, but it is not a replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.

Driving
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle auto-
matically accelerates, deceler-
ates and stops to match the
speed changes of the preceding
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 with full-speed range on
freeways and highways.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range
●Driving safely is the sole
responsibility of the driver. Do
not rely solely on the system,
and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attent ion to your sur-
roundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range pro-
vides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden.
However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the followin g conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.

WARNING
●Assisting the driver to operate
the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range does not
include function s which will pre-
vent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle.
Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of da nger, the driver
must take immediate and direct
control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range in
any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropri-
ate speed control and could
cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as
those covered with rain, ice or
snow
●On steep downhills, or where
there are sudden changes
between sharp up and down
gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed when driving down a
steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and
highways
●When weather conditions are
bad enough that they may pre-
vent the sensors from detecting
correctly (fog, snow, sand-
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc.,
on the front surface of the radar
or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require
frequent repeated acceleration
and deceleration
●When your vehicles is towing a
trailer or another vehicle, except
when the followin g condition is
met.
• When the other vehicle is a trailer properly attached and
connected to Toyota’s official
TBC ECU. ( P.198)
●When an approach warning
buzzer is heard often
●When the vehicle is lifted up,
except in the following cases.
• When using a Toyota official lift kit up to 4 in. (101 mm), includ-
ing tire height. Aftermarket lift
kits may degrade system perfor-
mance.

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to- vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicl e
distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, t he vehicle-to-vehicle distance may
become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
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

“Operate Cruise switch or
Accelerator Pedal to
Resume”
1 Pressing the cancel switch
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been
stopped by system control,
depressing the brake pedal does
not cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control
and returns vehicle speed to
the set speed. When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the
driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front
of you while you are following a
vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
small.
 When the speed of the pre-
ceding vehicle matches or
exceeds your vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
 Immediately after the cruise
control speed was set

stops, follow-up cruising will be
resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled in
the following situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of
time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect cor-
rectly because i t is covered in

●The center differential lock/unlock
is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise con trol system is
on.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system
control on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when
the vehicle has been stopped by
system control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for
about 3 minutes.
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 you
r Toyota dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of con-
stant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is
automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
