As an added safety feature, your ve- hicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS– tire pressure warning system) that il- luminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under−inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pres- sure warning illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under−inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under−inflation also re- duces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s han- dling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pres- sure warning system) is not a substi- tute for proper tire maintenance, and it to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under−inflation has not reached the level illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).

(cid:1) Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down.

Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down gradient, within the limits of engine performance. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.

CAUTION

(cid:1) To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slip- pery (rainy, icy or snow−covered) or winding roads.

176

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON To operate the cruise control, press the “ON−OFF” button. This turns the system on. The indicator light in the instrument cluster shows that you can now set your desired cruising speed. Another push will turn the system completely off. When the ignition switch is turned off, the system automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again, press the “ON− OFF” button again to turn it on.

CAUTION

the To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, keep the “ON−OFF” button off when not using the cruise control.

If you need acceleration—for example, when passing—depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED You can cancel the preset speed by: a. Pulling

Dynamic laser cruise control— Dynamic laser cruise control allows you to drive at a selected cruising speed over about 45 km/h (28 mph) with your foot off the accelerator pedal, maintain- ing an appropriate vehicle−to−vehicle distance.

CAUTION

Do not rely excessively on dynamic laser cruise control in order to avoid serious injury or death, or to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use cruise control except in ap- propriate road and traffic conditions. Always drive carefully and attentively. Before using dynamic laser cruise control, read and understand the fol- lowing instructions.

(cid:1) Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con- trol mode for cruising at preset speeds You can change the mode by using the control lever. The two cruise control modes function dif- ferently. If you use dynamic laser cruise control, always confirm which mode is se- lected. For the vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode, see “—Vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode” on page 180. For the con- ventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, see “—Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode” on page 191.

—Vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode The laser radar sensor in this system primarily detects the reflectors of the vehicle ahead of you to determine the presence of the vehicle ahead as well as measuring the vehicle−to−vehicle dis- tance. The detection range of the sen- sor is about 120 m (400 ft.) ahead.

CAUTION

Dynamic laser cruise control is not a collision−avoidance system and will not prevent accidents. Dynamic laser cruise control is a vehicle speed con- trol device that is intended for use only on freeways or roads where the traffic is light or moderate. To avoid serious injury, you must use caution and be attentive to road and traffic conditions while using dynamic laser cruise control.

DYNAMIC LASER CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS The dynamic laser cruise control func- tion operates automatically and depend- ing on whether a vehicle is detected ahead may change the speed of your vehicle as follows. If no vehicle is running ahead of you— 1. Cruising at a fixed speed: If there is your no cruising speed the preset speed from about 45 km/h (28
mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph). The preset speed the display. For the vehicle speed setting, see “SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED” on page 185.

If a vehicle is detected ahead of you— 2. Deceleration cruising function: If a is detected slower moving vehicle ahead of you, your vehicle cruising speed decreases within the range of about 40 km/h (25 mph) to about 135
km/h (85 mph). The display shows the preset speed, the detected vehicle ahead and selected vehicle−to−vehicle distance. If your vehicle gets closer to the vehicle ahead because of insuffi- cient automatic deceleration, then the alarm warns you to also manually ap- ply brakes.

3. Follow−up cruising function: After de- celeration, your vehicle cruising speed changes in proportion to the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain an ap- propriate distance from your vehicle to the vehicle ahead. The vehicle−to−ve- hicle distance can be changed. For de- tails, see “CHANGING VEHICLE−TO− VEHICLE DISTANCE” on page 187.

4. Acceleration cruising function: If the vehicle ahead changes lanes, your ve- hicle cruising speed will be gradually increased up to the preset speed, and your fixed−speed cruising.

CAUTION

To avoid accidents, always keep the laser radar sensor glass clean and never allow to be covered with icicle or any substance, so it can de- tect the vehicle in front. (See “LASER RADAR SENSOR” on page 189.)

it

Do not rely excessively on dynamic laser cruise control. Observe the fol- lowing precautions in order to avoid serious injury or death: (cid:1) Under certain conditions where the vehicle in front slows drastically, or is stopped, the dynamic laser cruise control will neither warn you nor decelerate. You must depress the brake pedal to slow down, ensuring collision avoidance or that suffi- cient vehicle−to−vehicle distance is maintained.

(cid:1) Do not use dynamic

laser cruise control in the following conditions: In bad weather (such as rain, fog, snow, sandstorms or direct sun- light, or when raindrops or snow- flakes get on the laser radar sensor glass), the vehicle−to−vehicle dis- tance will not be measured accura- tely. When using the windshield wipers at high or low speeds the dynamic laser radar cruise control turns off.

roads with heavy

On traffic or sharp bends, an appropriate speed cannot be maintained and an acci- dent may occur. On slippery road surfaces (icy or snow−covered road surfaces), the tires will race and you will be un- able to control the vehicle. When there is no vehicle detected ahead on steep downhill slopes, the preset speed will be easily exceed- ed because of inefficient engine braking. this case, automatic braking will not work.) If there is a vehicle detected ahead, the delay in deceleration timing could cause se- rious injury or death. When the alarm sounds frequently (because acceleration or decelera- tion was repeated or sufficient ve- hicle−to−vehicle distance was not maintained), an appropriate vehicle speed cannot be attained and an accident may occur.

(In

On roads with steep and short in- clines and declines, failure to de- tect the vehicle ahead will shorten the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead and an acci- dent may occur.

(cid:1) Deceleration cruising function and approach warning do not operate when the vehicle ahead is at a stop or driving very slowly.

(cid:1) If the vehicle ahead of you deceler- ates abruptly or if another vehicle cuts in ahead of you, your vehicle may collide with the vehicle ahead unless you manually depress the brake pedal to slow down your ve- hicle.

(cid:1) Depending on the road configura- tion (curved, left and right continu- ous curved, the start or end of a curve, or narrow driving lanes due to road construction) or your ve- hicle condition (steering wheel ma- neuvering, position in the lane, or unstable driving because of an acci- dent or breakdown), vehicles in oth- er lanes or surrounding objects may be detected, resulting in a con- trol failure or the approach warning activation. This may also result in a very close distance between vehi- cles due to a failure to detect the vehicle ahead.

183

Dynamic laser cruise control should not be used in circumstances which are inap- propriate for any cruise control, such as entering free way on−ramps or off−ramps.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Do not use dynamic

laser cruise control when exiting from or when entering or merging onto a freeway. When you are following a slower moving vehicle and exiting, the sen- sor does not detect the vehicle and will accelerate to the preset speed.

(cid:1) If other vehicles are driving outside of the laser radar detection range, a delay in the detection of the ve- hicle cutting in at short range or failure to detect a motorcycle run- ning on the side of the same lane will occur. In this case, the dynamic laser cruise control system will not function properly.

(cid:1) When a slower vehicle in front of you leaves the lane, the dynamic laser cruise control will no longer detect a vehicle ahead and will at- tempt to accelerate the vehicle to the faster preset speed.

If cancelled by a. or b., the “READY” indicator comes on and the dynamic laser cruise control enters the ready mode. If one of the warning codes “C1”, “C2” or “E3” appears on the display, the preset speed automatically cancels out. See “VEHICLE−TO−VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING” on page 190. If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the above reasons, do not operate the dynamic laser cruise con- trol. Although there is no problem to con- tinue driving, please contact your Toyota dealer.

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction and hold it. The displayed speed will in- crease in increments of 5 mph. Release the lever when the desired speed is attai- ned. The vehicle speed will gradually in- crease to the display speed.

CAUTION

When the vehicle−to−vehicle distance control is on, your cruising speed is regulated in proportion to the speed of the vehicle ahead, so increasing the preset speed using the control lever does not accelerate the vehicle. However, if the vehicle ahead leaves the lane, your cruising speed will in- crease to the preset speed because the preset speed has been set higher using the control lever. Confirm the setting on the display.

If “E3” appears on the display, a system malfunction has been detected. If this code appears, stop your vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition off, and then restart it to reset the system. If the setting still cannot be made or the same code appears again, the system might have malfunctioned. Although there is no problem to continue driving, please con- tact your Toyota dealer.

—Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode This mode allows you to cruise at a desired speed over about 40 km/h (25
mph) with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.

CAUTION

(cid:1) In

the conventional

(fixed speed) cruise control mode, the approach warning does not activate and no alarm will sound even if you are too close to the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle−to−vehicle distance is detected. Pay special attention to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Always confirm the setting in the display.

(cid:1) Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) mode in the following condi- tions, or serious injury or death could result: To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use conven- tional cruise control mode when us- ing dynamic laser cruise control while driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow−covered) or winding roads. increasing Avoid when driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the the conventional preset speed cruise control mode, cancel the conventional cruise control mode and then downshift the transmis- sion to use engine braking to slow down.

However, once the vehicle−to−vehicle dis- tance control mode activates and is used, it cannot be changed to the conventional cruise control mode using the above op- eration. To change the mode, press the “ON−OFF” button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on. Next push the lever in the “MODE” direction for longer than about 1 second. To change to the vehicle−to−vehicle dis- tance control mode from the conventional cruise control mode, push the lever in the “MODE” direction for longer than about 1
second.

CAUTION

the To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, keep the “ON−OFF” button off when not using dynamic laser cruise control.

SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED The transmission must be in the “D” posi- tion, “5” (fifth range) or “4” (fourth range) in “S” mode before you set the cruise control speed in the conventional cruise control mode. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the “− SET” direc- tion and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed and the display shows the preset speed. You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON To operate conventional cruise control mode, press the “ON−OFF” button. This turns the system on. The “CRUISE” and “READY” indicator lights in the instrument cluster comes on. Push the lever in the “MODE” direction for longer than 1 second to change to conventional cruise control mode. The instrument cluster is as shown. You can now set your desired cruising speed. Pressing the “ON−OFF” button again will turn the sys- tem completely off.

In the following cases, the preset speed automatically cancels out: a. When vehicle speed falls below about

40km/h (25 mph).

b. When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10

mph) below the preset speed.

c. When vehicle stability control is acti-

vated.

If cancelled by b., the preset speed data is cleared and you must set the speed from the beginning. If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the above reasons, do not operate the cruise control. Although it is no problem to continue driving, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal- er at the earliest opportunity.

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can be increased 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES” direction quickly within 0.6 seconds. However, a faster way to reset is to ac- celerate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the “− SET” direction. RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED Push the lever down in the “− SET” direc- tion and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can be lowered 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pushing the lever down in the “− SET” direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.

TONE AND BALANCE For details about your system’s tone and balance controls, see the description of your own system. Type 1 and type 2 audio systems utilize FOCUS(cid:3) and TruBass(cid:3) audio enhance- ment from SRS Labs, Inc., in all mode except AM radio mode. Tone How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble, midrange (type 3 only), and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of mu- sic and vocal programs usually sound bet- ter with different mixes of treble, midrange and bass. Balance A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important. Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the vol- ume of one group of sounds while de- creasing the volume of another.

YOUR RADIO ANTENNA Your vehicle has an antenna printed on the inside of the rear window.

NOTICE

Putting a film (especially a conductive or metallic film) on the rear window will noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the radio.
