Driving
Operation of this system is sep-
arated into 4 control states. 
Emergency Driving 
Stop System
The emergency driving stop 
system is a system which 
automatically decelerates 
and stops the vehicle within 
its lane if the driver 
becomes unable to continue 
driving the vehicle, such as 
if they have suffered a medi-
cal emergency, etc.
During LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist) control, if the sys-
tem does not detect driving 
operations, such as if the 
driver is not holding the 
steering wheel, and deter-
mines the driver is not 
responsive, the vehicle will 
be decelerated and stopped 
within its current lane to 
help avoid a collision or 
reduce the impact of a colli-
sion.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving. The emer-
gency driving stop system is 
designed to provide support in 
an emergency where it is diffi-
cult for the driver to continue 
driving, such as if they have had 
a medical emergency. It is not 
designed to support driving 
while drowsy or in poor physical 
health, or inattentive driving.
●Although the emergency driv-
ing stop system is designed to 
decelerate the vehicle within its 
lane to help avoid or help 
reduce the impact of a collision 
if the system determines that it 
is difficult for the driver to con-
tinue driving, its effectiveness 
may change according to vari-
ous conditions. Therefore, it 
may not always be able to 
achieve the same level of per-
formance. Also, if the operating 
conditions are not met, this 
function will not operate.
●After the emergency driving 
stop system operates, if driving 
becomes possible again, imme-
diately begin driving again or, if 
necessary, park the vehicle on 
the shoulder of the road and set 
a warning reflecto r and flare to 
warn other drivers of your 
stopped vehicle.
●After this system operates, pas-
sengers should  attend to the 
driver as necessary and take 
appropriate hazard prevention 
measures, such as moving to a 
place where safety can be 
ensured, such as the shoulder 
of the road or behind a guard-
rail.
●This system detects the condi-
tion of the driver through the 
operation of the steering wheel. 
This system may  operate if the 
driver is aware but intentionally 
and continuously does not oper-
ate the vehicle. Also, the system 
may not operate if it cannot 
determine that the driver is not 
responsive, such as if they are 
leaning on the  steering wheel.
Summary of the system 
Page 236 of 500
2364-5. Using the driving support systems
Through control state “Warning 
phase 1” and “Warning phase 
2”, the system determines if the 
driver is aware and responsive 
while outputting a warning and 
controlling the vehicle speed. If 
the system determines the 
driver is not responsive, it will 
operate in control state “Decel-
eration stop phase” and “Stop 
hold phase” and decelerate and 
stop the vehicle. It will then 
operate continuously in “Stop 
hold phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system opera tes when all of 
the following cond itions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is 
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) 
or more
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system 
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been 
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise 
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are 
detected (the steering wheel is 
held, the brake pedal, accelerator 
pedal, parking brake, hazard light 
switch, or turn sig nal lever is oper-
ated)
●When the driving assist switch is 
pressed while in the stop and hold 
phase
●When the engine switch has been 
turned from ON to off
●Situations in whic h some or all of 
the functions of the system cannot  operate: 
P. 1 9 7
■LTA control when operation is 
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not 
detected after the hands off 
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the system will judge if the driver 
is responsive or not. If driving 
operations, such as holding the 
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount 
of time, the system will enter 
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, 
a buzzer will sound in short 
intervals and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such 
as holding the steering wheel, 
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system 
will determine that the driver is 
not responsive and enter the 
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted 
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerating, 
Warning phase 1
Warning phase 2

the brake lights may illuminate, 
depending on the road conditions, 
etc.
After entering the deceleration 
stop phase, a buzzer will sound 
continuously and a message will 
be displayed to warn the driver, 
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle 
stops, the system will enter the 
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the 
parking brake will be applied 
automatically. After entering the 
stop and hold phase, the buzzer 
will continue sounding continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to 
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.
■Restricted functions after the 
operation is canceled
After shifting to  the deceleration 
stop phase, the following functions 
will not be available  until the engine 
is re-started even  though the emer-
gency driving stop system is can-
celed:
●LTA
■Stopping the engine
While driving with the D shift 
position selected, depress the 
brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle. The engine will stop auto-
matically.
When the engine stops, the Stop & 
Start indicator  will illuminate.
■Restarting the engine
Release the brake pedal. The 
engine will start automatically.
When the engine starts, the Stop & 
Start indicator will turn off.
Deceleration stop phase
Stop hold phase
Stop & Star t system
The Stop & Start system 
stops and starts the engine 
according to brake pedal or 
shift lever operation when 
the vehicle is stopped, such 
as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to 
improve fuel economy and 
reduce noise pollution 
caused by the engine idling.

■When the brake hold sys-
tem is operating
 When the engine is stopped 
by the Stop & Start system, if 
the brake pedal is released 
the engine will remain 
stopped.
 If the accelerator pedal is 
depressed while the engine is 
stopped by the Stop & Start 
system, the engine will 
restart.
 While the engine is stopped 
by the Stop & Start system, if 
the engine is restarted, the 
brake hold system will con-
tinue to apply the brakes, 
unless the operation condi-
tions of the brake hold system 
are no longer met. ( P.175)
■When the dynamic radar 
cruise control with 
full-speed range is operat-
ing
 When the vehicle is stopped 
by the dynamic radar cruise 
control with full-speed range, 
the engine will stop automati-
cally even though the brake 
pedal is not depressed.
 When the preceding vehicle 
starts off, the engine will 
restart automatically.
 If the engine is restarted by 
the Stop & Start system while 
the vehicle is stopped by the 
dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range, the  vehicle will remain stopped.
Press the Stop & Start cancel 
switch to disable the Stop & 
Start system.
The Stop & Start cancel indicator 
will illuminate.
Pressing the s witch again will 
enable the Stop & Start system and 
the Stop & Start cancel indicator will 
turn off.
■Automatic enabling of the Stop 
& Start system
If the Stop & Start system is dis-
abled using the Stop & Start cancel 
switch, it will be a utomatically 
re-enabled once the engine switch 
is turned off and then the engine is 
started.
When the engine is stopped by 
the Stop & Start system when 
the vehicle is on an incline, 
when the brake pedal is 
released, brake force is tempo-
rarily maintained to prevent the 
vehicle from rolling backwards 
before the engine is restarted

and drive force is generated. 
When drive force is generated, 
the maintained brake force is 
automatically canceled.
This function operates on flat 
surfaces as well as steep 
inclines.
 Sound may be generated 
from the brake system, but 
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may 
change and vibration may 
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed 
when the engine is stopped by the 
Stop & Start system, the engine 
will not be able to b e restarted by 
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the 
engine using the normal engine 
starting procedure. ( P.162, 163)
●When the engine is being 
restarted by the  Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power  outlets may be 
temporarily unusable, but this 
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Installation and re moval of electri-
cal components and wireless 
devices may affect the Stop & 
Start system. Contact your Toyota 
dealer for details.
