■Automatic engine shut off fea-
ture
●The vehicle is equipped with a 
feature that automatically shuts off 
the engine when the shift lever is 
in P (continuously variable trans-
mission) or the parking brake is 
set (manual transmission) with the 
engine running for an extended 
period.
●The engine will automatically shut 
off after approximately 1 hour if it 
has been left running while the 
shift lever is in P (continuously 
variable transmission) or the park-
ing brake is set (manual transmis-
sion).
●The timer for the automatic engine 
shut off feature will reset if the 
brake pedal (continuously variable 
transmission) or the clutch pedal 
(manual transmission) is 
depressed, or if the shift lever is in 
a position other than P (continu-
ously variable transmission) or the 
parking brake is released (man-
ual transmission).
●After the vehicle is parked, if the 
door is locked with the door lock 
switch ( P.103) from the inside or 
the mechanical key ( P.504) from 
the outside, the automatic engine 
shut off feature will be disabled. 
The timer for the automatic engine 
shut off feature will be re-enabled 
if the driver’s door is opened.
WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an 
emergency
●If you want to stop the engine in 
an emergency while driving the 
vehicle, press and hold the 
engine switch for more than 2 
seconds, or press it briefly 3 
times or more in succession. 
(  P.464)
However, do not touch the 
engine switch while driving 
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing 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 diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you 
should pull over and stop the 
vehicle as soon as it is safe to 
do so.

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to 
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehi-
cle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable 
following distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehi-
cle-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 detected running ahea d of you, the system automatically 
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec-
essary, the system applies  the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this 
time). The system will respond to ch anges 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 suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, yo ur vehicle will also stop (vehicle is 
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the 
“+RES” switch or depressing the acce lerator pedal (start-off operation) will 
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-of f operation is not performed, system 
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.

2084-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA H/B_UWhen the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (
80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accel-
erate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification 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 vehicle is driven to a 
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from where the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle 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 overtaking lane is to the left, the 
vehicle may accelerate when the ri ght turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding 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 
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message 
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch 
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
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.  (

when the vehicle speed is approx-
imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more. 
(However, when the vehicle speed 
is set while driving at below 
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h], 
the set speed will be set to 
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
■Accelerating after setting the 
vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by oper-
ating the accelerator pedal. After 
accelerating, the set speed 
resumes. However, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control 
mode, the vehicle speed may 
decrease below the set speed in 
order to maintain the distance to the 
preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while 
follow-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while 
the vehicle ahead stops will 
resume follow-up cruising if the 
vehicle ahead starts off within 
approximately 3 seconds after the 
switch is pressed.
