● Do  not  use  the  accelerator  pedal  or  depress  the  accelerator  and  brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■ When parking the vehicle
Always  set  the  parking  brake  and  shift  the  shift  lever  to  P.  Failure  to  do  so
may  cause  the  vehicle  to  move  or  the  vehicle  may  accelerate  sud denly  if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
● Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and ho ld it there for
an extended period of time. 
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
● When driving over bumps on the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
■ If you get a flat tire while driving 
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly  and  gradually  depress  the  brake  pedal to  slow  down  the  vehi-
cle.
● It may be difficult to control your vehicle.

WARNING
■ When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do  not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumsta nces.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious in jury.
■ Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lo ck or open the
doors  until  the  vehicle  reaches  a  safe  and  complete  stop. Activ ation  of  the
steering  lock  in  this  circumstance  may  lead  to  an  accident,  res ulting  in
death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the engine in an emergency
● If  you  want  to  stop  the  engine  in  an  emergency  while  driving  th e  vehicle,
press  and  hold  the  engine  switch  for  more  than  2  seconds,  or  press  it
briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P. 489)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in  an emer-
gency. Turning  the  engine off  while  driving  will  not cause  loss  of  steering
or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This
will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should p ull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
● If  the  engine  switch  is  operated  while  the  vehicle  is  running,  a  warning
message  will  be  shown  on  the  multi-information  display  and  a  bu zzer

If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information disp lay
A  system  may  be  temporarily  unavailable  or  there  may  be  a  malfu nction  in
the system.
● In  the  following  situations,  perform  the  actions  specified  in  t he  table.  When
the  normal  operating  conditions  are  detected,  the  message  will  disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.
● In  the  following  situations,  if  the  situation  has  changed  (or  the  vehicle  has
been  driven  for  some  time)  and  the  normal  operating  conditions  are
detected,  the  message  will  disappear  and  the  system  will  become  opera-
tional.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.
• When  the  temperature  around  the  radar  sensor  is  outside  of  the  opera- tional  range,  such  as  when  the  vehicle  is  in  the  sun  or  in  an  e xtremely
cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the ve hicle, such
as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
SituationAction
When  the  area  around  a  sensor  is
covered  with  dirt,  moisture  (fogged
up,  covered  with  condensation,  ice,
etc.), or other foreign matterTo clean the part of the windshield in
front  of  the  front  camera,  use  the
windshield  wipers  or  the  windshield
defogger  of  the  air  conditioning  sys-
tem ( P. 361, 367).
When  the  temperature  around  the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle  is  in  the  sun  or  in  an  extremely
cold environmentIf  the  front  camera  is  hot,  such  as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem  to  decrease  the  temperature
around the front camera.
If  a  sunshade  was  used  when  the
vehicle  was  parked,  depending  on
its  type,  the  sunlight  reflected  from
the  surface  of  the  sunshade  may
cause  the  temperature  of  the  front
camera to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold  environment,  use  the  air  condi-
tioning  system  to  increase  the  tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is  obstructed,  such  as  when  the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to  the  part  of  the  windshield  in  front
of the front camera. Close  the  hood,  remove  the  sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up  to  approximately  328  ft.  (100  m)  ahead,  determines  the  curre nt
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain  a suit-
able following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note  that  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  will  close  in  when  traveling  on  long
downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no  vehicles ahead
The  vehicle  travels  at  the  speed  set  by  the  driver. The  desired   vehicle-to-
vehicle  distance  can  also  be  set  by  operating  the  vehicle-to-ve hicle  dis-
tance switch.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When  a  preceding  vehicle  driving  slower  than  the  set  speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates  your  vehicle.  When  a  greater  reduction  in  vehicle  s peed  is
necessary,  the  system  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 vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach  warning  warns  you  when  the  system  cannot  decelerate  su ffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle fr om 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  will  resume  follow-up
cruising.
