2084-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Canada
1 The side marker, park-
ing, tail, license plate, instru-
ment panel lights, and
daytime running lights
( P.208) turn on.
2 The headlights and all
lights listed above (except
daytime running lights) turn
on.
3 The headlights, daytime
running lights ( P.208) and
all the lights listed above turn
on and off automatically.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime runni ng light system
●Vehicles with multi-LED head-
lights and LED projector head-
lights with bulb type front turn
signal lights: The daytime running
lights illuminate u sing the same
lights as the low beam headlights
and illuminate d immer than the
low beam headlights.
●Vehicles with LED projector head-
lights with LED type front turn sig-nal lights: The daytime running
lights illuminate using the same
lights as the parking lights and illu-
minate brighter than the parking
lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers
during daytime
driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following conditions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• For the U. S. A.: The headlight
switch is in the , or
*
position
• For Canada: The headlight switch
is in the or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illumi nate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers greater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, 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 t he automatic head-
light system to malfunction.

Driving
The system can detect the fol-
lowing:
Vehicles
 Bicyclists
 Pedestrians
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, the system
applies greater braking force in
relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses a radar sensor and
front camera to detect
objects ( P.227) in front of
the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high,
a warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive
action and the potential
brake pressure is increased
to help the driver avoid the
collision. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision
with an object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the
collision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.229)

WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every
situation. Do not overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is
designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able
to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the following conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may operate even if there is
no possibility of a collision:
 P.231
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate properly:
 P.232
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the pre-collision system
yourself.
Depending on the objects used
for testing (dummies, card-
board objects imitating detect-
able objects, etc.), the system
may not operate properly, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the
operation of the pre-collision
braking function, the pre-colli-
sion braking function operation
will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain
operations are performed by the
driver. If the accelerator pedal is
being depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
pre-collision braking function
from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision brak ing function is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is
turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may
determine that t he driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly
delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable
the system, as it may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed

■Operational conditions for e ach pre-collision function
The pre-collision syst em is enabled and the system determines t hat the pos-
sibility of a frontal c ollision with a detected object is high.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
• If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected an d then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
• If the shift lever is in R
• When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a
sandstorm
• When driving through steam or
smoke
• When the surrounding area is dim, such as at dawn or dusk, or while
at night or in a t unnel, making a
detectable object appear to be
nearly the same color as its sur-
roundings
• When driving in a place where the surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance
or exit of a tunnel
• After the engine has started the
vehicle has not been driven for a
certain amount of time
• While making a left/right turn and
for a few seconds after making a
left/right turn
• While driving on a curve and for a
few seconds after driving on a
curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the front of the vehicle is raised
or lowered
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front camera
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or front camera
is misaligned
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, sufficien t braking force
may not be obtained, preventing
the system from performing prop-
erly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as
when the brake parts are
extremely cold, extremely hot, or
wet • If the vehicle is not properly main-
tained (brakes or tires are exces-
sively worn, imprope r tire inflation
pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery
surface
• When the road surface has deep wheel tracks
• When driving on a hill road
• When driving on a road that has inclines to the left or right
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.357), the
pre-collision brak e assist and pre-
collision braking functions are also
disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on
and “VSC Turned Off Pre-Colli-
sion Brake System Unavailable”
will be displayed on the multi-
information display.

2524-5. Using the driving support systems
Example of constant speed cruising
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 i n the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the ve hicle-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 performed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is ope rated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accel-
erate to help to overt ake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identifi cation of what is an overtaking lane may be deter-
mined solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left
side driver position versus righ t side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven
to a region where the overtaking lane is on a different side fr om where the
vehicle is normally driven, the v ehicle may accelerate when the turn signal
lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking l ane (e.g., if the
driver normally operates the vehicle in a region where the over taking lane is
to the right but then drives to a region where the overtaking l ane is to the
left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right 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 constan t speed cruising.

Your vehicle will also resume
follow-up cruising if the acceler-
ator pedal is depressed after the
vehicle ahead of you starts off.
1Pressing the cancel switch
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been
stopped by system control,
depressing the brake pedal does
not cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control
and returns vehicle speed to
the set speed. When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, 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.
■Warnings may not occur
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
small.
 When the speed of the pre-
ceding vehicle matches or
exceeds your vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
 Immediately after the cruise

■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 cruising will be
resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled in
the following 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 cor-
rectly because i t is covered in
some way.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates.
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, Drive-Start Control)
●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
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled for
any reasons other than the above,
there may be a malfunction in the
system. Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of con-
stant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is
automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of
time.
●W h en t he V S C o r T RA C sys te m is
turned off.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates.
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, Drive-Start Control)
If constant speed control mode is
automatically canceled for any rea-
sons other than the above, there
may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be
heard and the brake pedal response
may change, but these are not mal-
functions.
■Warning messages and buzzers
for dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunc-
tion or to inform the driver of the
need for caution while driving. If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
(  P.225, 633)
■When the sensor may not be
correctly detecting the vehicle
ahead
In the case of the following and
depending on the conditions, oper-
ate the brake pedal when decelera-

2584-5. Using the driving support systems
tion of the system is insufficient or
operate the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect these types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning
( P.255) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in
the same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends
(trailers with no load on board,
etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same
lane
●When water or snow thrown up by
the surrounding vehicles hinders
the detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load
in the luggage compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an
extremely high ground clearance
■Conditions under which the
vehicle-to-vehic le distance con-
trol mode may not function cor-
rectly
In the case of the following condi-
tions, operate the brake pedal (or
accelerator pedal, depending on the
situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead, the
system may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the
lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or
your position in the lane is unsta-
ble
●When the vehicle ahead of you
decelerates suddenly
●When driving on a road sur-
rounded by a structure, such as in
a tunnel or on a bridge
●While the vehicle speed is
decreasing to the set speed after
the vehicle accelerates by

Driving
●Initialization may not have been
performed after a battery terminal
was disconnected and recon-
nected. Initialize the system.
(  P.273)
If this message continues to be
displayed even after initialization,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
■If a battery terminal has been
disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the
vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds
or more at a speed of approximately
22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the
object and other factors, the
detection distance may shorten,
or detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static objects draw too close to the
sensor.
• There will be a short delay
between static object detection
and display (warning buzzer
sounds). Even at low speeds,
there is a possibilit y that the object
will come within 11. 9 in. (30 cm)
before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the
buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the
buzzers of other systems.
■Objects which the system may
not properly detect
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attention to the fol-
lowing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Part icular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen-
sor. (Cleaning th e sensors will
resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is froz en. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnor-
mally, or objects, such as a wall,
may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of ot her vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle.
