Pressing the switch changes the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance as
follows:
1 Long
2 Medium
3 Short
If a vehicle is running ahead of you,
the preceding vehicle mark will

Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accor-

the vehicle is stopped by system control, the vehicle stops at a
certain vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance depending on the situa-
tion.
After the vehicle ahead of you
starts off, press the “+RES”
switch.
Your vehicle will also resume
follow-up cruising if the acceler-
ator pedal is depressed after the
vehicle ahead of you starts off.

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

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

■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be
heard and the brake pedal response
may change, but these are not mal-
functions.
■Warning messages and buzzers
for dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunc-
tion 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 instruc-
tions.( P.228, 511)
■When the sensor may not be
correctly detecting the vehicle
ahead
In the case of the following and
depending on the conditions, oper-
ate the brake pedal when decelera-
tion of the system is insufficient or

mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot, the outside
rear view mirror indicator on the
detected side will illuminate. If the
turn signal lever is operated toward
the detected side, the outside rear

Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors. ( P.269) The system
should return to normal operation
after removing the ice, snow, mud,
etc., from the rear bumper. Addition-
ally, the sensors may not operate
normally when driving in extremely
hot or cold environments.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Mal-

WARNING
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message ( P.268) will
be displayed. In this situation,
clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation con-
ditions of the BSM function
( P.272) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach accessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc.,
to a sensor or its surrounding
area on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sen- sor is scratched or dented, or
part of them h as become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear
bumper.
●If a sensor or the rear bumper
needs to be removed/installed
or replaced, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper
any color other t han an official
Toyota color.

■Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)
Auto Trailer Detect ion (ATD) detects
if a trailer is attached by using the
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.
●Trailers that use TBC can be
detected by using the 7-pin trailer
brake connectors.
●Other types of trailers can be
detected using the BSM sensors.
●When a trailer is detected via BSM
or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-
abled.
●As soon as the tra iler is detected,
the detectio n area will be
extended to a maximum length of
approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from
the rear bumper of the truck.
●If the trailer does not have a 7-pin
connector, or the 7-pin connector
is not engaged, the trailer is
detected via the BSM sensor. In
this case PKSB and Intuitive park-
ing assist functi ons will not be dis-
abled.
●For trailer auto detection without engagement of 7-pin connector,
the vehicle should be moving for-
ward at speed of above 0.6 mph
(1 km/h) for at l
east 10 seconds.
●ATD function is triggered at every
power switch on/of f cycle or if the
vehicle is stopped in shift the shift
lever is in P or N for more than 90
seconds.
●Trailer detection vis BSM sensors
may be delayed if the vehicle is in
a crowded environment such as
busy parking lot, area surrounded
with trees (camping ground) or in
an environment with objects in the
immediate environment that pre-
vent sensors from sufficiently
detecting the trailer.
■Trailer Length Detection (TLD)
●Once a trailer is detected and if
the trailer length in the meter is
selected as “Auto”, the TLD func-
tion will estimate the trailer length
using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-
sors.
In order to estimate the trailer length
with TLD function and detection
area, make at least two 90 degree
turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-
ally via multi-information display
input, the detection area is also
adjusted to exceed the length of the
trailer.
●Depending on some trailer types
and the dimensions of the trailer
TMW performance may be
degraded.
■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the dri ver of
the presence of such vehicles v ia the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.
