DISABLING LTA SWAY WARNING ALERT
SWS is a function of LTA and is designed to detect swaying based on the \�vehicle
location in the lane and the driver’s steering wheel operation. To he\�lp prevent
swaying, the system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning\� display in
the MID.
Continuous lane deviations from
swaying.
Gentle swaying from driver’s
inattentiveness.
Acute steering wheel operation after the
number of operations decrease due to driver’s
inattentiveness.

When Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled a\�nd
lane markers are detectable, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines \�on the road
and/or preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.\�
See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\�s in which the
system operation may be limited.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) with Lane
Centering
Press and hold the LTA switch
to deactivate Lane Tracing
Assist.
The lane centering function is linked with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Rada\�r Cruise
Control (DRCC) and provides the required assistance by operating the s\�teering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is not operating\�, the lane
centering function does not operate.

Push once: OnPush twice: Off
Intended for highway use, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
lets you drive at a preset speed. The system is designed to function between
0-110 mph* and uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, helping maintain a preset
distance from the vehicle ahead of you.*
* See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.

vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
(1) Push “” to turn DRCC system ON. The “Radar Ready” and “” indicator
will come on.
(2) Use the steering wheel controls to increase speed by pushing “+RES” or
decrease the speed by pushing “-SET”. Push and hold to make a large
adjustment or push each time to make fine adjustments (1 mph [1.6 km/h] or 1
km/h [0.6 mph] increments.)
(3) Push “Cancel” to cancel the speed control.
* The speed control may also be canceled by depressing the brake pedal.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\�ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\�le-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \�from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

(default setting) MIDDLE

Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

(1) 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-vehicle dis\�tance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising 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 automaticall\�y
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on\� at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle a\�head
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. \�A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent\� your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE (CONTINUED)
Note: 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.
(3) 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.
SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
If you are already using DRCC “”, push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

Automatic High Beams (AHB)
ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be aut\�omatically
turned on (after approximately 1 second):• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail\� lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
If any of the following conditions occur, the high beams will be automat\�ically turned off: • Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turne\�d on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
The Automatic High Beams (AHB) safety system is designed to help you s\�ee
more clearly at night. At speeds above 25 mph, AHB can detect the headli\�ghts of
oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatical\�ly toggles
between high and low beams accordingly.
See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\�s in which the
system operation may be limited.
