ECO mode TOYOTA RAV4 2019 (in English) Owner's Guide

2544-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to- vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicl e
distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, t he vehicle-to-vehicle distance may
become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
●When weather conditions are
bad enough that they may pre-
vent the sensors from detecting
correctly (fog, snow, sand-
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc.
on the front surface of the radar
or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require
frequent repeated acceleration
and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency tow-
ing
●When an approach warning
buzzer is heard often

Driving
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
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 runni ng ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is nec-
essary, 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 suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you st ops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). Afte r the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not pe rformed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t o a left lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h ) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
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 constan t speed cruising.
1Press 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 cont rol main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds
or more, the syste m turns on in constant speed control mode.

when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set
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 w ill be set to
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
■Accelerating after setting the
vehicle speed
The vehicle can a ccelerate by oper-
ating the accelera tor pedal. After
accelerating, the set speed
resumes. However, during vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode,
the vehicle speed may decrease
below the set speed in order to
maintain the distance to the preced-
ing 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.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off
within 3 seconds after your vehicle
stops, follow-up c ruising will be
resumed.
