4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system
●The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the head-
lights, and illuminate dimmer than the headlights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the , or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, eve n if the park-
ing brake is set again.
● For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by ope rating the
switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running ligh t system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights tur n off 30 sec-
onds after the driver’s door is opened and closed if the power switch is
turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. (The lights turn off im mediately
if on the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode, or turn the light
switch to the , or position once and then back to the
or position. The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
Air conditioning operation may also be
interrupted.

■Dynamic radar cruise control wi th full-speed range can be set when
● The shift position is in D.
● The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately
20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h], the set speed will be set to approxima tely 20 mph
[30 km/h].)
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicl e distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set spee d in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
●Pushing the lever up while the vehicle ahead stops will resume follow-up
cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds after
the lever is pushed up.
● If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 seconds after your veh icle stops, fol-
low-up cruising will be resumed.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically cance led in the fol-
lowing situations.
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Collision System, Drive-Start C ontrol)
● The parking brake is operated.
● The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
● The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes.
The shift position may automatically change to P. ( P. 252)
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically ca nceled for any
reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact your Toyota dealer.

Parking Suppor t Brake function
The system operates in the follo wing situations when an obstacle is
detected in the traveling d irection of the vehicle.
◆The vehicle is driven at low speeds and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed too late
◆The accelerator pedal is depressed too far
: If equipped
When a collision may occur with an obstacle while parking or
traveling at low speeds, when the vehicle suddenly moves for-
ward due to mistaken accelerator pedal operation, or when the
vehicle moves due to the wrong shift position being selected,
the sensors detect obstacles to the front or rear in the travel ing
direction of the vehicle, and the system operates to lessen
impact with obstacles such as walls, and reduce resulting dam-
age.

■Operation starting conditions
When the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing ( P. 3 7 8 ,
599) and all of the following conditions are met, the system op erates.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function is on.
● The vehicle speed is approxima tely 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
● There is an obstacle in the traveling direction of the vehicle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
● The system determined that a stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion was necessary to avoid a collision.
Brake control
● Hybrid system output restricti on control is being performed.
● The system determined that a n emergency brake operation was
necessary to av oid a collision.
■Operation ending conditions
In any of the following situatio ns, the system stops operating.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● The collision became a voidable with normal brake operation.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
Brake control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● Approximately 2 seconds elapsed after the vehicle was stopped
by brake control.
● The brake pedal was depressed after the vehicle was stopped by
brake control.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).

■Sensor detection range
The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function diffe rs from the
detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 362)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obst acle and pro-
vides a warning, the Parking Support Brake function may not sta rt operating.
■ System operation
When the vehicle is stopped by system operation, the Parking Support Brake
function stops and the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates.
■ System recovery
When the Parking Support Brake function is stopped by system op eration
and you would like to resume operation, either turn the Parking Support
Brake function on again ( P. 372), or turn the power switch off and then back
on. Furthermore, when the vehicle moves with an obstacle no lon ger in the
traveling direction of the vehicle, or when the traveling direc tion of the vehicle
changes (such as when switching from moving forward to backing up, and
vice versa), system operation automatically resumes.
■ Obstacles not detected by the sensors
The following obstacles may not be detected by the sensors.
●Objects such as people, cloth and snow, that are difficult for sonic waves to
reflect off of. (In particular, people may also not be detected depending on
the type of clothing they are wearing.)
● Objects not perpendicular with the ground, objects not at a rig ht angle to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, uneven objects or waving objects
● Low objects
● Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
● Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate properly
P. 365
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
P. 366
■ In the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake function m istakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake funct ion mistakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the area. Fur-
thermore, brake control is also canceled when the brake pedal i s depressed.
Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed forward and
leave the area.
■ When removing and instal ling the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight a head for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or hi gher.
