■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.
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

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.

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.
