When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain  a  set  speed  without  controllin g  the  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance.
Select  this  mode  only  when  vehic le-to-vehicle  distance  control mode
does not function correctly due  to a dirty radar sensor, etc.
With  the  cruise  control  off,
press  and  hold  the  “ON-OFF”
button for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately  after  the  “ON-OFF”
button  is  pressed,  the  radar  cruise
control  indicator  will  come  on.
Afterwards, it switches to the cruise
control indicator.
Switching  to  constant  speed  con-
trol  mode  is  only  possible  when
operating  the  lever  with  the  cruise
control off.
Accelerate  or  decelerate,  with
accelerator  pedal  operation,  to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above  approximately  25  mph
[40  km/h])  and  push  the  lever
down to set the speed.
Cruise  control  “SET”  indicator  will
come on.
The  vehicle  speed  at  the  moment
the  lever  is  released  becomes  the
set speed.

■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: The shift lever is in  D or range 4 or
higher of S has been selected.
● Vehicle speed is at or above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■ 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-vehicl e  distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set spee d in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mo de
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically cance led in the fol-
lowing situations:
● Actual vehicle speed falls at or below approximately 25 mph (40  km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● 4WD models: The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or m ore after
operating the front-wheel drive control switch.
If  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  control  mode  is  automatically  ca nceled  for  any
other reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact  your Toyota
dealer.

■Automatic cancelation of c onstant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
● Actual  vehicle  speed  is  more  than  approximately  10  mph  (16  km/h )  below
the set vehicle speed.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) .
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● 4WD models: The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or m ore after
operating the front-wheel drive control switch.
If  constant  speed  control  mode  is  automatically  canceled  for  an y  other  rea-
son, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Brake system operation sound
If the brakes are applied automatically while the vehicle is in  vehicle-to-vehi-
cle  distance  control  mode,  a  brake  system  operation  sound  may  b e  heard.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Warning messages and buzzers for d ynamic 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.
■ When the sensor may not be correctly detect ing the vehicle ahead
In  the  case  of  the  following  and  depending  on  the  conditions,  o perate  the
brake  pedal  when  deceleration  of  the  system  is  insufficient  or  operate  the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types o f vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 274) may not be activated.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane

●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board,  etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
● When  water  or  snow  thrown  up  by  the  surrounding  vehicles  hinders  the
detecting of the sensor
●When  your  vehicle  is  pointing  upwards
(caused  by  a  heavy  load  in  the  luggage
compartment, etc.)
● Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

■Conditions  under  which  the  vehic le-to-vehicle  distance  control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake peda l (or accelera-
tor pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
● When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
● When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a  tunnel or on
a bridge
● While  the  vehicle  speed  is  decreasing  to  the  set  speed  after  th e  vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
●
When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
● When  steering  wheel  operation  or  your
position in the lane is unstable

: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel  parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by  the
sensors  and  communicated  via  t he  multi-information  display
and buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using this
system.

■When  multiple  obstacles  are  de tected  in  front  and  behind  the
vehicle at the same time
The buzzer will change in the following manner.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 1.5 ft. (45 cm) of the  front
or 2.8 ft. (85 cm) in rear of t he  vehicle  (a  continuous  buzzer  is
sounding), and a new obstacle is  detected at the other end of the
vehicle, the buzzer w ill sound 7 times then  1 continuous buzzer.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 1.5 ft. (45 cm) of the  front
or 2.8 ft. (85 cm) in rear of t he  vehicle  (a  continuous  buzzer  is
sounding), and a new obstacle is detected in the same way at th e
other  end  of  the  vehicle,  the  buzzer  will  sound  3  times  then  1
continuous buzzer.
■Detection range of the sensors
Approximately 5.9 ft. (180 cm)
Approximately 2.8 ft. (85 cm)
The  diagram  shows  the  detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors  may  not  be  able  to  detect
obstacles  that  are  extremely  close
to the vehicle.
The  range  of  the  sensors  may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
