to vehicle speed.
Selecting shift ranges using “S” mode restricts the upper limit of\
the possible gear
ranges, controls engine braking forces and prevents unnecessary upshifti\

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
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.
(1) (2) (3)
(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.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
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.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push button again to turn the system off
first, then push and hold button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
(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.

AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime while reducing glare for oncoming drivers. When enabled, AHB u\
ses an
in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and\
tail lights
of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low \
beams
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB \
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, turn the headlight swi\
tch to
“
” or “AUTO” (if equipped) position.
(2) Push lever away from you.
(3) Press the “
” switch.

The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automat\
ically
to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off. To turn switch to “
” position and the manual
high beam indicator “
” turns on.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned 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 street lights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automaticall\
y turn off
high beams: • 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.
