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.
211
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

2-4. Using other driving systems
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. After the desired speed has been set, it is not possible to return to vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode. If the engine switch is turned off and then turned to the ON posi- tion again, the vehicle will auto- matically to vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode. Adjusting the speed setting: P. 208

2-4. Using other driving systems
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.

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
217
2-4. Using other driving systems
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. 480) 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

CAUTION
■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. ●If the laser radar sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.

Particular instances where this may occur are listed below. • There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. • A sensor is frozen. • A sensor is covered in any way. • The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side. • On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass. • The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain. • The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna. • A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact. • The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb. • In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather. • The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
Objects lower than the sensors or thin stakes etc. may be detected ini- tially, but as they draw closer, they may cease to be detected.
• A towing hitch is mounted to the vehicle. • A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is
installed.
• When attaching a two-way radio antenna. • When a towing eyelet is mounted on your vehicle. • When the bumper is damaged.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of their shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer than they are.

●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles: • Wires, fences, ropes, etc. • Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves • Sharply-angled objects • Low obstacles • Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle
• A person near the vehicle (depending on the type of clothes worn) • When the bumper is damaged.
■Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.

2-4. Using other driving systems BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that assists the driver to confirm safety when changing lanes. The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the outside rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of the vehi- cles existence via the outside rear view mirror indicator.
BSM main switch Pressing the switch turns the system on or off. When the switch is set to on, the switch’s indicator illuminates. Outside rear view mirror indicator When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mir- ror indicator on that side illuminates. If the turn signal lever is operated when a vehicle is in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indica- tor flashes.

CAUTION
■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 is a supplementary system which alerts the driver that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. The system cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over reliance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Accord- ing to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
■Handling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor installed inside the left and right side of the vehicle rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can function correctly.
●Keep the sensor and its surrounding
area on the bumper clean at all times.
●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper to a strong impact. If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may mal- function and vehicles that enter the detection area may not be detected. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●Do not disassemble the sensor. ●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
●Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper. ●Do not paint the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.

■ Height modes
● N mode (normal mode): For ordinary driving
Normal height
● HI mode (high mode): For driving on bumpy roads
1.2 in. (30 mm) higher than the normal height The HI mode is unavailable when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h). When the vehicle’s speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the normal height automatically.
● LO mode (low mode): For the ease of egress/ingress and load-
ing luggage 1.2 in. (30 mm) lower than the normal height The LO mode is unavailable when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 8 mph (12 km/h). When the vehicles speed exceeds 8 mph (12 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the normal height automatically.
Disabling the height control
When the height control mode select switch is pressed, the vehicle height is fixed at the cur- rent height. The height can be adjusted by pressing the height control switch. When speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the nor- mal height automatically.

■Automatic leveling function
Regardless of the number of occupants or the luggage load, vehicle height in any mode is always adjusted to a fixed height by the automatic leveling function.
■When HI mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to N mode when driving at the speeds of 18
mph (30 km/h).■When LO mode is selected
●The vehicle height will change to N mode when vehicle speed exceeds 7
mph (12 km/h).
●This mode allows for easy access to the vehicle (getting in and out) and
easy loading and unloading.
■The electronically modulated air suspension will not operate in the fol-
lowing cases: ●The underbody of the vehicle is touching the surface of the road. ●The area around the suspension is covered with ice. The height control indicators will blink, turn off and then turn on continuously to indicate that the electronically modulated air suspension is not opera- tional. To re-enable operation, turn off the engine and then restart it.
■Even if you hear an operating noise
This does not indicate a problem in the electronically modulated air suspen- sion.
■If there is a problem somewhere in the electronically modulated air
suspension The height control MAN. indicator will behave as follows: ●The indicator will not come on when the engine switch is turned on. ●The indicator will blink. Although the vehicle may be driven, have the vehicle inspected by your Toy- ota dealer.

CAUTION
■The electronically modulated air suspension must be turned off in the
following circumstances: Otherwise, the automatic leveling function may cause the vehicle’s height to change, and you may catch part of your body in the vehicle, resulting in an unexpected accident: ●When driving through water such as shallow streams (Put the vehicle height in HI mode and turn off the electronically modulated air suspension. Drive at 18 mph [30 km/h] or slower.)
●When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/wires for transportation via flat bed truck (Turn the system to the manual mode and stop the engine.)
●When the vehicle must be towed (Put the vehicle height in N mode and
turn the system to the manual mode.)
●When the vehicle gets stuck (Turn the system to the manual mode.) ●When disconnecting a trailer (Put the vehicle height in LO mode and turn
the system to the manual mode.) ■Selecting the correct height mode
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the vehicle, as well as dan- gerous handling characteristics, which may lead to fatal or injury accidents. ●Before you lower the vehicle’s height, check under the vehicle to make
sure that no one is there.
●HI mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example
when driving off-road. Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Do not select HI mode when you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
