Hands off steering wheel warn-

ing

In the following situations, a warning 

message urging the driver to hold 

the steering wheel and the symbol 

shown in the illustration are dis-

played on the multi-information dis-

play to warn the driver. The warning 

stops when the system determines 

that the driver holds the steering 

wheel. Always keep your hands on 

the steering wheel when using this 

system, regardless of warnings.

●

When the system determines that 

the driver is driving without hold-

ing the steering wheel while the 

system is operating

If the driver continues to keep their 

hands off of the steering wheel, the 

buzzer sounds, the driver is warned 

and the function is temporarily can-

celed. This warning also operates in 

the same way when the driver con-

tinuously operates the steering 

wheel only a small amount.

●

When the system determines that 

the vehicle may not turn and 

instead depart from its lane while 

driving around a curve

Depending on the vehicle condition 

and road conditions, the warning 

may not operate. Also, if the system 

determines that the vehicle is driv-

ing around a curve, warnings will 

occur earlier than during 

straight-lane driving.

●

When the system determines that 

the driver is driving without hold-

ing the steering wheel while the 

steering wheel assist of the steer-

ing assist function is operating.

If the driver continues to keep their 

hands off of the steering wheel and 

the steering wheel assist is operat-

ing, the buzzer sounds and the 

driver is warned. Each time the 

buzzer sounds, the continuing time 

of the buzzer becomes longer.

WARNING

■

Before using LDA system

●

Do not rely solely upon the LDA 

system. The LDA system does 

not automatically drive the vehi-

cle or reduce the amount of 

attention that must be paid to 

the area in front of the vehicle. 

The driver must always assume 

full responsibility for driving 

safely by paying careful atten-

tion to the surrounding condi-

tions and operating the steering 

wheel to correct the path of the 

vehicle. Also, the driver must 

take adequate breaks when 

fatigued, such as from driving 

for a long period of time.

●

Failure to perform appropriate 

driving operations and pay care-

ful attention may lead to an 

accident, resulting in death or 

serious injury.

●

When not using the LDA sys-

tem, use the LDA switch to turn 

the system off.

■

Situations unsuitable for LDA

WARNING

■

Before using dynamic radar 

cruise control with full-speed 

range

●

Driving safely is the sole 

responsibility of the driver. Do 

not rely solely on the system, 

and drive safely by always pay-

ing careful attention to your sur-

roundings.

●

The dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range pro-

vides driving assistance to 

reduce the driver’s burden. 

However, there are limitations to 

the assistance provided.

Read the following conditions 

carefully. Do not overly rely on 

this system and always drive 

carefully.

• When the sensor may not be 

correctly detecting the vehicle 

ahead:

P.213

• Conditions under which the 

vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode may not function cor-

rectly: 



P.213

●

Set the speed appropriately 

depending on the speed limit, 

traffic flow, road conditions, 

weather conditions, etc. The 

driver is responsible for check-

ing the set speed.

●

Even when the system is func-

tioning normally, the condition of 

the preceding vehicle as 

detected by the system may dif-

fer from the condition observed 

by the driver. Therefore, the 

driver must always remain alert, 

assess the danger of each situ-

ation and drive safely. Relying 

solely on this system or assum-

ing the system ensures safety 

while driving can lead to an 

accident, resulting in death or 

serious injury.

●

Switch the dynamic radar cruise 

control with full-speed range 

setting to off, using the cruise 

control main switch when not in 

use.

■

Cautions regarding the driv-

ing assist systems

Observe the following precau-

tions, as there are limitations to 

the assistance provided by the 

system.

Failure to do so may cause an 

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

WARNING

●

Assisting the driver to measure 

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control 

with full-speed range 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 careless or inattentive driv-

ing, 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 vehi-

cle’s surroundings.

●

Assisting the driver to judge 

proper following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control 

with full-speed range determines 

whether the following distance 

between the driver’s own vehicle 

and a designated vehicle traveling 

ahead is within a set range. 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 radar cruise control 

with full-speed range does not 

include functions which will pre-

vent or avoid collisions with vehi-

cles ahead of your vehicle. 

Therefore, if there is ever any 

possibility of danger, the driver 

must take immediate and direct 

control of the vehicle and act 

appropriately in order to ensure 

the safety of all involved.

■

Situations unsuitable for 

dynamic radar cruise control 

with full-speed range

Do not use dynamic radar cruise 

control with full-speed range in 

any of the following situations. 

Doing so may result in inappropri-

ate speed control and could 

cause an accident resulting in 

death or serious injury.

●

Roads where there are pedes-

trians, cyclists, etc.

●

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 freeways and 

highways

●

When weather conditions are 

bad enough that they may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting 

correctly (fog, snow, sand-

storm, heavy rain, etc.)

●

When there is rain, snow, etc. 

on the front surface of the radar 

or front camera

●

In traffic conditions that require 

frequent repeated acceleration 

and deceleration

●

During emergency towing

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to 
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehi-
cle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable 
following distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance switch.

When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may 
become shorter.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

Example of 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 automatically 
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this 
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle 
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. 
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is 
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the 
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will 
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not performed, system 
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.

vehicle and a designated vehicle 

traveling ahead is within a set 

range. It is not capable of making 

any other type of judgement. 

Therefore, it is absolutely neces-

sary for the driver to remain vigi-

lant 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 radar cruise control 

does not include functions which 

will prevent or avoid collisions 

with vehicles ahead of your vehi-

cle. Therefore, if there is ever any 

possibility of danger, the driver 

must take immediate and direct 

control of the vehicle and act 

appropriately in order to ensure 

the safety of all involved.

■

Situations unsuitable for 

dynamic radar cruise control

Do not use dynamic radar cruise 

control in any of the following situ-

ations. 

Doing so may result in inappropri-

ate speed control and could 

cause an accident resulting in 

death or serious injury.

●

Roads where there are pedes-

trians, cyclists, etc.

●

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 freeways and 

highways

●

When weather conditions are 

bad enough that they may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting 

correctly (fog, snow, sand-

storm, heavy rain, etc.)

●

When there is rain, snow, etc. 

on the front surface of the radar 

or front camera

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to 
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehi-
cle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable 
following distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance switch.

When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may 
become shorter.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

Example of 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 automatically 
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this 
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle 
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. 
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane 
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing 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 sur-

roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-

plementary function which alerts 

the driver that a vehicle is in a 

blind spot of the outside rear view 

mirrors or is approaching rapidly 

from behind into a blind spot. Do 

not overly rely on the Blind Spot 

Monitor. As the function cannot 

judge if it is safe to change lanes, 

over reliance could lead to an 

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.
As the system may not function 

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual con-

firmation of safety is necessary.

WARNING

■

Handling the rear side radar 

sensor

Blind Spot Monitor sensors are 

installed behind the left and right 

sides of the rear bumper respec-

tively. Observe the following to 

ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can 

operate correctly.

●

Keep the sensors and the sur-

rounding areas on the rear 

bumper clean at all times.

If a sensor or its surrounding area 
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot 
Monitor may not operate and a 
warning message (



P.227) will 

be displayed. In this situation, 
clear off the dirt or snow and drive 
the vehicle with the operation con-
ditions of the BSM function

Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor

The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of 
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear 
view mirrors.

Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the 
outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that 
are not visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)

■

The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas

The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.

The range of each detection area is:

Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of

WARNING

■

When using the rear view 

monitor system

The rear view monitor system is a 

supplemental device intended to 

assist the driver when backing up. 

When backing up, be sure to visu-

ally check all around the vehicle 

both directly and using the mirrors 

before proceeding. Observe the 

following precautions to avoid an 

accident that could result in death 

or serious injuries.

●

Never depend on the rear view 

monitor system entirely when 

backing up. The image and the 

position of the guide lines dis-

played on the screen may differ 

from the actual state. Use cau-

tion, just as you would when 

backing up any vehicle.

●

Be sure to back up slowly, 

depressing the brake pedal to 

control vehicle speed.

●

The instructions given are only 

guide lines. When and how 

much to turn the steering wheel 

will vary according to traffic con-

ditions, road surface condi-

tions, vehicle condition, etc. 

when parking. It is necessary to 

be fully aware of this before 

using the rear view monitor sys-

tem.

●

When parking, be sure to check 

that the parking space will 

accommodate your vehicle 

before maneuvering into it.

●

Do not use the rear view moni-

tor system in the following 

cases:

• On icy or slick road surfaces, or 

in snow

• When using tire chains or emer-

gency tires

• When the back door is not 

closed completely

• On roads that are not flat or 

straight, such as curves or 

slopes

●

In low temperatures, the screen 

may darken or the image may 

become faint. The image could 

distort when the vehicle is mov-

ing, or you may become unable 

to see the image on the screen. 

Be sure to visually check all 

around the vehicle both directly 

and using the mirrors before 

proceeding.

●

If the tire sizes are changed, the 

position of the fixed guide lines 

displayed on the screen may 

change.

How to use the camera

●

The rear view monitor system 

may not operate properly in the 

following cases.

• If the back of the vehicle is hit, 

the position and mounting angle 

of the camera may change.

• As the camera has a water 

proof construction, do not 

detach, disassemble or modify 

it. This may cause incorrect 

operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens, 

flush the camera with a large 

quantity of water and wipe it 

with a soft and wet cloth. 

Strongly rubbing the camera 

lens may cause the camera lens 

to be scratched and unable to 

transmit a clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent, 

car wax, window cleaner or 

glass coating to adhere to the 

camera. If this happens, wipe it 

off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rap-

idly, such as when hot water is 

poured on the vehicle in cold 

weather, the system may not 

operate normally.

• When washing the vehicle, do 

not apply intensive bursts of 

water to the camera or camera 

area. Doing so may result in the 

camera malfunctioning.

●

Do not expose the camera to 

strong impact as this could 

cause a malfunction. If this hap-

pens, have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

as soon as possible.

able transmission: The shift lever 

is in a position other than P or N 

(when starting off forward/back-

ward on an upward incline).

●

Vehicles with a manual transmis-

sion: The shift lever is in a position 

other than R when starting off for-

ward on an upward incline, or the 

shift lever is in R when starting off

■

Automatic system cancelation 

of hill-start assist control

The hill-start assist control will turn 

off in any of the following situations:

●

Vehicles with a continuously vari-

able transmission: The shift lever 

is shifted to P or N.

●

Vehicles with a manual transmis-

sion: The shift lever is shifted to R 

when starting off forward on an 

upward incline, or the shift lever is 

shifted to other than R when start-

ing off backward on an upward 

incline.

●

The accelerator pedal is 

depressed

●

The parking brake is engaged

●

2 seconds at maximum elapsed 

after the brake pedal is released

■

Sounds and vibrations caused 

by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, 

TRAC and hill-start assist con-

trol systems

●

A sound may be heard from the 

engine compartment when the 

brake pedal is depressed repeat-

edly, when the engine is started or 

just after the vehicle begins to 

move. This sound does not indi-

cate that a malfunction has 

occurred in any of these systems.

●

Any of the following conditions 

may occur when the above sys-

tems are operating. None of these 

indicates that a malfunction has 

occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the 

vehicle body and steering.

• A motor sound may be heard also 

after the vehicle comes to a stop.

• The brake pedal may pulsate 

slightly after the ABS is activated.

• The brake pedal may move down 

slightly after the ABS is activated.

■

Active Cornering Assist opera-

tion sounds and vibrations

When the Active Cornering Assist is 

operated, operation sounds and 

vibrations may be generated from 

the brake system, but this is not a 

malfunction.

■

EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is oper-

ated, a motor sound (whirring 

sound) may be heard. This does not 

indicate a malfunction.

■

Automatic reactivation of TRAC 

and VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC 

systems off, the systems will be 

automatically re-enabled in the fol-

lowing situations:

●

When the engine switch is turned 

off

●

If only the TRAC system is turned 

off, the TRAC will turn on when 

vehicle speed increases

If both the TRAC and VSC sys-

tems are turned off, automatic 

re-enabling will not occur when 

vehicle speed increases.

■

Operating conditions of Active 

Cornering Assist

The system operates when the fol-

lowing occurs.

●

TRAC/VSC can operate

●

The driver is attempting to accel-

erate while turning

●

The system detects that the vehi-

cle is drifting to the outer side

●

The brake pedal is released

■

Reduced effectiveness of the 

EPS system

The effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem is reduced to prevent the sys-

tem from overheating when there is 

frequent steering input over an 

extended period of time. The steer-

ing wheel may feel heavy as a 

result. Should this occur, refrain 

from excessive steering input or 

stop the vehicle and turn the engine 

off. The EPS system should return 

to normal within 10 minutes.

Secondary Collision Brake 

operating conditions

The vehicle speed is approximately 

6 mph (10 km/h) or more and the 

airbag sensor detects a collision. 

(The Secondary Collision Brake will 

not operate when the vehicle speed 

is below approximately 6 mph [10 

km/h].)

■

Secondary Collision Brake 

automatic cancellation

The Secondary Collision Brake is 

automatically canceled in the follow-

ing situations:

●

The vehicle speed drops below 

approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)

●

A certain amount of time elapses 

during operation

●

The accelerator pedal is 

depressed a large amount

WARNING

■

The ABS does not operate 

effectively when

●

The limits of tire gripping perfor-

mance have been exceeded 

(such as excessively worn tires 

on a snow covered road).

●

The vehicle hydroplanes while 

driving at high speed on wet or 

slick roads.

■

Stopping distance when the 

ABS is operating may exceed 

that of normal conditions

The ABS is not designed to 

shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-

tance. Always maintain a safe dis-

tance from the vehicle in front of 

you, especially in the following sit-

uations:

●

When driving on dirt, gravel or 

snow-covered roads

●

When driving with tire chains

●

When driving over bumps in the 

road

●

When driving over roads with 

potholes or uneven surfaces

■

TRAC/VSC may not operate 

effectively when

Directional control and power may 

not be achievable while driving on 

slippery road surfaces, even if the 

TRAC/VSC system is operating. 

Drive the vehicle carefully in con-

ditions where stability and power 

may be lost.

■

Active Cornering Assist does 

not operate effectively when

●

Do not overly rely on Active 

Cornering Assist. Active Corner-

ing Assist may not operate 

effectively when accelerating 

down slopes or driving on slip-

pery road surfaces.

●

When Active Cornering Assist 

frequently operates, Active Cor-

nering Assist may temporarily 

stop operating to ensure proper 

operation of the brakes, TRAC 

and VSC.

■

Hill-start assist control does 

not operate effectively when

●

Do not overly rely on hill-start 

assist control. Hill-start assist 

control may not operate effec-

tively on steep inclines and 

roads covered with ice.

●

Unlike the parking brake, 

hill-start assist control is not 

intended to hold the vehicle sta-

tionary for an extended period 

of time. Do not attempt to use 

hill-start assist control to hold 

the vehicle on an incline, as 

doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.

WARNING

■

When the TRAC/VSC is acti-

vated

The slip indicator light flashes. 

Always drive carefully. Reckless 

driving may cause an accident. 

Exercise particular care when the 

indicator light flashes.

■

When the TRAC/VSC systems

are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at 

a speed appropriate to the road 

conditions. As these are the sys-

tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-

ity and driving force, do not turn 

the TRAC/VSC systems off 

unless necessary.

■

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not overly rely on the Second-

ary Collision Brake. This system 

is designed to help reduce the 

possibility of further damage due 

to a secondary collision, however, 

that effect changes according to 

various conditions. Overly relying 

on the system may result in death 

or serious injury.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the 

specified size, brand, tread pat-

tern and total load capacity. In 

addition, make sure that the tires 

are inflated to the recommended 

tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-

tems will not function correctly if 

different tires are installed on the 

vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-

ther information when replacing 

tires or wheels.

■

Handling of tires and the sus-

pension

Using tires with any kind of prob-

lem or modifying the suspension 

will affect the driving assist sys-

tems, and may cause a system to 

malfunction.

level of air pressure.

●

Do not drive in excess of 75

mph (120 km/h), regardless of

the type of snow tires being

used.

●

Use snow tires on all, not just

some wheels.

■

Driving with tire chains

Observe the following precautions 

to reduce the risk of accidents.

Failure to do so may result in the 

vehicle being unable to be driven 

safely, and may cause death or

chains being used, or 30 mph

(50 km/h), whichever is lower.

●

Avoid driving on bumpy road

surfaces or over potholes.

●

Avoid sudden acceleration,

abrupt steering, sudden brak-

ing and shifting operations that

cause sudden engine braking.

●

NOTICE

■

Repairing or replacing snow

tires

Request repairs or replacement of 

snow tires from Toyota dealers or 

legitimate tire retailers.

This is because the removal and 

attachment of snow tires affects 

the operation of the tire pressure 

warning valves and transmitters.

Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:



Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.



To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.



Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.



Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.



Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift lever to P (continuously 

variable transmission), or 1 or 
R (manual  transmission) 
without setting the parking 
brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from 
being released. If the vehicle 
is parked without setting the 
parking brake, make sure to 
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause 
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an 
accident.



Vehicles with a continuously 
variable transmission: If the 
vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, con-
firm that the shift lever cannot 
be moved out of P

*

.

*

: The shift lever will be locked if it is 

attempted to be shifted from P to 
any other position without 
depressing the brake pedal. If the 
shift lever can be shifted from P, 
there may be a problem with the 
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer immediately.

Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each 
tire size.
