lane marking has been
detected, the steering wheel
vibrates in accordance with the
steering wheel vibration setting.
When the turn signal is switched
on in the corresponding direc-
tion before changing the lane, a
warning is not issued.
Depending on the equipment
version: if, in the speed range
up to 130 mph/210 km/h a lane
marking is crossed, the system
may intervene with a brief active
steering intervention in addition
to vibrating. The steering inter-
vention helps keep the vehicle in
the lane. The steering interven-
tion can be noticed on the steer-
ing wheel and can be manually
overridden at any time. During
an active steering intervention,
the display in the instrument
cluster will blink.

Depending on the equipment, in
the event of multiple active
steering interventions by the
system within 3 minutes without
the driver's intervention at the
steering wheel, an acoustic
warning will sound. A short
warning signal will sound at the
second steering intervention.
Beginning with the third steering
intervention, an continuous
warning will sound.
In addition, a vehicle message is
displayed.
The warning signal and vehicle
message are an encouragement
to pay closer attention to the
lane.
For instance, the warning will be
canceled in the following situa-
tions:
Automatically after a few sec-
onds.
When returning to your own
lane.
When braking hard.
When using the turn signal.
If VSC Vehicle Stability Con-
trol System intervenes. The system may not be fully
functional in the following situa-
tions:
In heavy fog, wet conditions,
or snowfall.
In the event of missing, worn,
poorly visible, merging,
diverging, or multiple lane
markings such as in construc-
tion areas.
When lane markings are cov-
ered in snow, ice, dirt or
water.
In tight curves or on narrow
lanes.
When lane markings are cov-

The dimmed light in the exterior
mirror indicates when there are
vehicles in the blind spot or
approaching from behind.
If the turn signal is switched on
while a vehicle is in the critical
zone, the steering wheel
vibrates briefly and the light in
the exterior mirror flashes
brightly.
The warning stops when the
other vehicle has left the critical
area or after deactivation of the
turn signal.
A flashing of the light during vehicle unlocking serves as sys-
tem self-test.
If the vehicle speed exceeds
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h, the
system is deactivated temporar-
ily.
If the vehicle speed falls below
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h, the
system once again responds
according to the setting.
The system may not be fully
functional in the following situa-
tions:
When a vehicle is approach-
ing at a speed much faster
than your own.
In heavy fog, wet conditions,

ates, it cannot oper
ate sufficiently
to avoid a possible dangerous situ-
ation. The driver is solely responsi-
ble for understanding their
surroundings and driving at a safe
speed.
When you apply the brakes rap-
idly, the system automatically
produces the greatest possible
braking force boost. It reduces
the braking distance to a mini-
mum during emergency stop.
This system utilizes all of the
capabilities provided by the Anti-
lock Brake System ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on
the brake pedal for the duration
of the emergency stop.
In combination with Dynamic
radar cruise control, this system
ensures that the brakes respond
even more rapidly when braking
in critical situations. This system supports driving off
on uphill grades.

Hold the vehicle in place with
the foot brake.
2 Release the foot brake and
drive off without delay.
After the foot brake is released,
the vehicle is held in place for
approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load-
ing, the vehicle may roll back
slightly.
Within the physical limits, the
system helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing
engine speed and by braking
the individual wheels.

Traction mode is a version of the
VSC Vehicle Stability Control
System where forward momen-
tum is optimized. The system ensures maximum
headway on special road condi-
tions or loose road surfaces, for
instance unplowed snowy
roads, but with somewhat lim-
ited driving stability.
When Traction mode is acti-
vated, the vehicle has maximum
traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and
when driving in curves.
You may find it useful to briefly
activate Traction mode in the
following situations:
When driving in slush or on
uncleared, snow-covered
roads.
When driving off from deep
snow or loose ground.
When driving with snow
chains.

Using this system, a desired
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering
wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed on clear roads.
For this purpose, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of
you, the system adjusts the
speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle
ahead is maintained. The speed
is adjusted as far as the given
situation allows.
A radar sensor is located in the
front bumper and a camera on
the interior mirror to detect vehi-
cles driving ahead of you.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a
brief period, the system is able
to detect this within the given
system limits.

The system cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal
judgment in assessing the traffic
conditions. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot inde-
pendently react to all traffic situa-
tions. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic condi-

WA R N I N G
An unsecured vehicle can begin
to move and possibly roll away.
There is a risk of an accident.
Before exiting, secure the vehicle
against rolling.
In order to ensure that the vehicle
is secured against rolling away,
follow the following:
●Set the parking brake.
●On uphill grades
or on a down-
hill slope, turn the front wheels
in the direction of the curb.
●On uphill grades or on a down-
hill slope, also secure the vehi-
cle, for instanc e with a wheel
chock.

After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated
and controls speed inde-
pendently.
In some situations, the vehicle
cannot drive off automatically;
for example:
On steep uphill grades.
From bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the
accelerator pedal.
The following restrictions can
occur under unfavorable
weather or light conditions:
Poorer vehicle recognition.
Short-term interruptions for
vehicles that are already rec-
ognized.
Examples of unfavorable
weather or light conditions:
Wet conditions.
Snowfall.
Slush.
Fog.
Glare.
Drive attentively, and react to
the current traffic situation. If
necessary, intervene actively,
for instance by braking, steering
or evading. The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill. The speed may
not be maintained on uphill
grades if the engine power is
insufficient.
The system cannot be activated
if the radar sensor is not aligned
correctly. This may be caused
by damage incurred, for
instance during parking.
A vehicle message is displayed
if the system fails.
Have the system checked by
your Toyota dealer.
The system may be impaired
when the detection range of the
radar sensor is partially covered
such as by the license plate
holder.
The function for detecting and
responding when approaching
stationary vehicles may be lim-
ited in the following situations:
During calibration of the cam-
era immediately after vehicle
delivery.
If the camera is malfunction-
ing or dirty. A vehicle mes-
