■Situations unsuitable for
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control
and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
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 high-
ways
●When weather conditions are bad
enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain,
etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on
the front surface of the radar or
front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

2304-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to -vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of const ant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is de tected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After 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 performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identificat ion 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 v ehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from wher e the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn 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 over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any precedi ng vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.234)
2Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
switch is released becomes the set
speed.
To change the set speed, press the
“+RES” or “-SET” switch until the

■Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set
when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more. (However, when the vehicle speed is
set while driving at below approxi-
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approximately 30
km/h [20 mph].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehi-
cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the set speed resumes. However,
during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.

vehicle ahead stops will resume fol- low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead
starts off within approximately 3 sec-
onds after the switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3
seconds after your vehicle stops, fol- low-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 follow-
ing situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system con-
trol on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when the
vehicle has been st opped 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.

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 is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
If constant speed control mode is auto-
matically canceled for any reasons other
than the above, there may be a malfunc- tion in the system. Contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not
operate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not operate
properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly ( P.257), 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 recognized
speed limit by pressing and holding the “+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not availa-ble
●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 with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or

to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P.200, 480)
■When the sensor may not be cor- rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate 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 cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P.233) 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions,
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect vehicl es ahead, the system may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decel-erates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on a
bridge
