2-4. Using other driving systems
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a laser radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to main- tain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
Example of 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. Example of deceleration cruising When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automati- cally decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
209
2-4. Using other driving systems
Example of follow-up cruising When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance set by the driver. Example of acceleration When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than the set speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to constant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the dis- play will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An exam- ple of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance. ■ Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will not occur: ● When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed ● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set ● At the instant the accelerator is applied

Selecting conventional constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode differs from vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain a set speed regardless of whether or not there are other vehicles in the lane ahead.
Press the ON-OFF button to activate the cruise control. Press the button again to deacti- vate the cruise control. Switch to constant speed con- trol mode. (Push the lever forward and hold for approximately one second.) Constant speed control mode indicator will come on. When in constant speed control mode, to return to vehicle-to-vehi- cle distance control mode, push the lever forward again and hold for approximately 1 second.

■Dynamic laser cruise control can be set when
●The shift lever is in the D or range 4 or higher of S has been selected. ●Vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Switching modes
The mode cannot be switched to constant speed control mode if vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode has been used. The mode also cannot be switched from constant speed control to vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. Turn the system off by pressing the ON-OFF button, and turn it on again.
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate normally. After acceleration, 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 vehicle ahead.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driving is automatically canceled in the following situations: ●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) ●VSC is activated ●The sensor cannot operate correctly because it is covered in some way.* ●The windshield wipers are operating at high or low speed.* ●The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or more after operating the front wheel drive control switch or the center differential lock switch. (4WD models) *:Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driving must be reset by pressing the ON-OFF button again.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driving is automatically canceled for any other reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.

■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control
The cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in the following sit- uations: ●Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
●Vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) ●VSC is activated ●The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or more after operating the front wheel drive control switch or the center differential lock switch. (4WD models)
■Laser radar sensor
Always keep the sensor clean to ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol operates properly. (Some obstruc- tions, such as snow, ice and plastic objects, cannot be detected by the obstruction sensor.) Dynamic laser cruise control is canceled if an obstruction is detected.
■Warning lights, messages and buzzers for dynamic laser cruise control Warning lights, messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system mal- function or to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. (P. 568)
■Certification

CAUTION
■Before using dynamic laser cruise control
Do not overly rely on vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. Be aware of the set speed. If automatic deceleration/acceleration is not appropriate, adjust the vehicle speed, as well as the distance between your vehicle and vehicles ahead by applying the brakes etc.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. ●Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic laser cruise control is only intended to help the driver in determining the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows care- less or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic laser cruise control determines whether the following dis- tance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is appropriate or not. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic laser cruise control has no capability to prevent or avoid a collision with a vehicle traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any dan- ger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
■To avoid inadvertent cruise control activation
Switch the cruise control off using the ON-OFF button when not in use.

■Situations unsuitable for dynamic laser cruise control
Do not use dynamic laser cruise control in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci- dent resulting in death or serious injury. ●In heavy traffic ●On roads with sharp bends ●On winding roads ●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow ●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to expressways ●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen- sors from functioning correctly (fog, rain, snow, sandstorm, direct sunlight, etc.)
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often ●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles are in front of you. As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning (P. 568) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious accident may result. ●The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, which means that the
placement of the reflectors is in a higher position.
●The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty. ●The vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you are flinging up water or
snow.
●Excessive exhaust gas (black smoke) is coming from the vehicle ahead or
other vehicles around you, obscuring your front view.
●There is an obstruction (protective film, sticker, etc.) on the reflectors on the vehicle ahead, or reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead or are damaged.
●Heavy luggage in the luggage compartment or rear seats is causing the
nose of your vehicle to tilt up. ●Vehicles that cut in suddenly ●Vehicles traveling at low speeds ●Vehicles that are not moving ●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.) ●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may
not function correctly Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the laser radar sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious accident may result. ●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
functioning of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the lug-
gage compartment etc.)
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow ●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable ●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly ●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
■Handling the laser radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the cruise control system can function effec- tively. Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an acci- dent. ●Keep the sensor clean at all times.
Clean the sensor with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage them.
●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area inspected and adjusted by a Toyota dealer.
●Do not disassemble the sensor. ●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, surrounding area. ●Do not modify or paint the sensor. ●Do not replace them with non-genuine parts.

The intuitive parking assist is designed to inform you of the approxi- mate distance between your vehicle and an obstruction by indicator and buzzer when parking the vehicle. This system uses sensors to detect obstructions. This system works when the engine switch is in the ON position and the shift lever is not in P. Back and rear corner sensors work only when the shift lever is in R. Front corner sensors work when: ● The shift lever is in R ● The shift lever is not in P or R and vehicle speed is approximate
6 mph (10 km/h) or less.
