Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the cruise control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, cruise control does not resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
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.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, war nings may not occur even when th e
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
● When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
● When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● When depressing the accelerator pedal

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.
■ When the sensor may not be correctly detect ing the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, o perate the
brake pedal when deceleration 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 o f vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 284) may not be activated.

The shape of an object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following:
• 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 direction of
your vehicle
• People, animals and other moving objects
• People wearing certain types of clothing
● The following situations may occur when using the intuitive parking assist.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the de tection dis-
tance may be shortened, or detection may not be possible.
• Objects may not be detected if they are too close to a sensor.
• There will be a short delay between the detection of an object and display
of the detection. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility t hat the object
will come within a sensor’s detection area before the display i s shown
and a warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than a sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of the a udio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be d riven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle ( especially
the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using t he brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyot a dealer.
● The intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a beep sounds
when no obstacles are detected.
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
● If the bumper collides with something.
● If the display shows continuously without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■ Notes when washing the vehicle

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor function is a supplementary function whi ch alerts the
driver that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not over ly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor function. The function cannot judge if it is safe to change
lanes, therefore over reliance could cause an accident resultin g in death or
serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
