Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the cruise control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, cruise control does not resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or less.
When your vehicle is too close to
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the
cruise control is not possible, 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.
QWarnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings may not occur even when the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
O When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
O When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
O Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
O When depressing the accelerator pedal

When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, 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 dynamic
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 30 km/h
[20 mph]) 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.

When this function is enabled and the system is operating in vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode ( P. 305), when a speed limit sign is
detected, the recognized speed limit will be displayed with an up/
down arrow. The set speed can be increased/reduced to the recog-
nized speed limit by pushing the lever up or down.
O When the current set speed is
lower than the recognized
speed limit
Push the lever up
O When the current set speed is
higher than the recognized
speed limit
Push the lever down
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist can be enabled/
disabled in on the multi-information display. ( P. 135)
When the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill, the vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed.
In this case, the displayed set vehicle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.

QDynamic radar cruise control can be set when
O The shift lever is in D. (Vehicles with automatic transmission)
O The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
O Depending on the control mode, this item can be set at the following
speeds.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more
• Constant speed control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
Q 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-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
Q Shift position selection (vehicles with manual transmission)
Select a shift position according to the vehicle speed. If the engine speed is
too high or too low, control may be automatically canceled.
Q Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
O Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
O VSC is activated.
O TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
O When the VSC or TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
O The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
O When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Coll ision System, Drive-Start Control)
O When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
O 4WD models: Switching the transfer mode is not completed within 5 sec-
onds while the cruise control system is on.
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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.

3144-5. Using the driving support systems

Q Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
O Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the set vehicle speed.
O Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
O VSC is activated.
O TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
O When the VSC or TRC/A-TRC system is turned off.
O When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Coll ision System, Drive-Start Control)
O When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
O 4WD models: Switching the transfer mode is not completed within 5 sec-
onds while the cruise control system is on.
If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any reasons
other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
Q The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly when
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not oper-
ate properly in conditions in which RSA may not operate or detect correctly
( P. 299), 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 recog-
nized speed limit by pushing the lever up or down.
O If speed limit information is not available
O When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
O When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
Q Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
Q Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic 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. ( P. 271, 575)

Q When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending 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 correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 310) may not be activated.
O Vehicles that cut in suddenly
O Vehicles traveling at low speeds
O Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
O Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
O Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
O When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
O When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
O Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

Q Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (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.
O When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
O When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
a bridge
O While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
O When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
O When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable
