4-5. Using the driving support systems

Dynamic radar cruise control



In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically
accelerates and decelerates to match the speed changes of the pre-
ceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. In con-
stant speed control mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control on freeways and highways.

WARNING

■

Before using dynamic radar cruise control

●

Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings. 

●

The dynamic radar cruise control provides 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. 283

• Conditions  under  which  the  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  control  mode

may not function correctly: 



P. 284

●

Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.

●

Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preced-
ing  vehicle  as  detected  by  the  system  may  differ  from  the  condition
observed  by  the  driver.  Therefore,  the  driver  must  always  remain  alert,
assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying on this sys-
tem or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Switch  the  dynamic  radar  cruise  control  off  using  the  “ON-OFF”  button
when not in use.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the driving assist systems

Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The  dynamic  radar  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  radar  cruise  control  determines  whether  the  following  dis-
tance 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 has limited capability to prevent or avoid
a  collision  with a  vehicle  traveling  ahead. Therefore,  if  there  is  ever  any
danger,  the  driver  must  take  immediate  and  direct  control  of  the  vehicle
and act appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

WARNING

■

Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control

Do not use dynamic radar 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.

●

Roads where there are pedestrians, 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 prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

●

When there is rain, snow, etc. on the front surface of the radar sensor or
camera sensor

●

In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated acceleration and decel-
eration

●

When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

●

When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

276

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)

4-5. Using the driving support systems

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up  to  approximately  328  ft.  (100  m)  ahead,  determines  the  current
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit-
able following distance from the vehicle ahead.

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. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle  distance  can  also  be  set  by  operating  the  vehicle-to-vehicle  dis-
tance switch.

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
necessary, 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.

Example of 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.

Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.

●

The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle. 
When  the  vehicle  comes  within  the  following  distance  of  the
obstacle, the buzzer sounds continuously.

• Corner sensors: Approximately 1.1ft. (35 cm)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.3 ft. (50 cm)

●

When  2  or  more  obstacles  are  detected  simultaneously,  the
buzzer system responds to the nearest obstacle. If one or both
come  within  the  above  distances,  the  beep  will  repeat  a  long
tone, followed by fast beeps.

●

You can change the volume of the warning beeps. (

■

Sensor detection information

●

The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.

●

Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve

this problem.)

• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen may show an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.

• The 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 ultra-
sonic waves.

• There  is  another  vehicle  equipped  with  parking  assist  sensors  in  the

vicinity.

• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.

294

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)

4-5. Using the driving support systems

●

The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay par-
ticular 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

●

The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection

distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.

• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even

at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the
sensor’s  detection  areas  before  the  display  is  shown  and  the  buzzer
sounds.

• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when

approached, even if they have been detected once.

• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

■

If  “Clean  Parking Assist  Sensor”  is  displayed  on  the  multi-information
display

A  sensor  may  be  dirty  or  covered  with  snow  or  ice.  In  such  cases,  if  it  is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.

■

If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play

Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING

■

When using the intuitive parking assist

Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.

●

Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

●

The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially
the  sides  of  the  vehicle)  for  safety,  and  drive  slowly,  using  the  brake  to
control the vehicle’s speed.

●

Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

NOTICE

■

When using intuitive parking assist

In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.

●

A buzzer does not sound when you turn the intuitive parking assist on.

●

The intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a buzzer sounds
when no obstacles are detected.

●

If  the  area  around  a  sensor  collides  with  something,  or  is  subjected  to
strong impact.

●

If  the  bumper  collides  with  something,  except  when  the  buzzer  mute
switch has been turned on. 

●

If the display shows continuously without a beep.

●

If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

■

Notes when washing the vehicle

Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.

Advice for driving on slippery roads

●

If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the
2 range of S while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake
can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the driver to
control the driving power of 4 wheels.

●

Use the 1 range of S of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline. 

■

The center differential lock indicator light

The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.

■

The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when

●

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

●

The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h).

■

Locking/unlocking the center differential

●

When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked,  VSC  is  automatically  turned  off.  (The  center  differential  lock  and
VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)

●

If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks.
If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential,
drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.

●

If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while
the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.

■

If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks

●

If  the  low  speed  four-wheel  drive  indicator  light  continues  to  blink  when
using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move
the shift lever to N and operate the switch again.

●

If  the  shift  lever  is  moved  before  the  low  speed  four-wheel  drive  indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode  disengages  both  the  front  and  rear  driveshafts  from  the  powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to
N, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).

If  the  engine  coolant  temperature  is  too  low,  the  four-wheel  drive  control
system  may  not  be  able  to  shift.  When  the  engine  is  warmer  press  the
switch again.

If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may
be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive sys-
tem. In this case, you may not be able to shift between H4 and L4, and the
center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer immediately.

WARNING

■

While driving

Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost trac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When the vehicle is parked

If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode  disengages  both  the  front  and  rear  driveshafts  from  the  powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.

WARNING

■

When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system

Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.

●

Never  rely  solely  on  the  Multi-terrain  Monitor. As  with  unequipped  vehi-
cles, drive carefully while directly confirming the safety of your surround-
ings and the area to the rear of the vehicle. Take particular care to avoid
parked cars and other obstacles.

●

Due to the characteristics of the camera lens, the actual position and dis-
tance  of  people  and  other  obstacles  will  differ  from  those  shown  on  the
Multi-terrain Monitor screen. Directly confirm the safety of your surround-
ings before driving.

●

Do not drive while only looking at the screen. When driving, make sure to
directly confirm the safety of your surroundings, such as by visually check-
ing the area and using the vehicle’s mirrors.

●

In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the images may become
faint.
Images of moving objects in particular may distort or disappear from the
screen. Therefore, make sure to drive carefully while directly visually con-
firming the safety of your surroundings.

Using the vehicle width lines
The  relative  distance  of  obstacles  from  the  vehicle  width  lines
can be confirmed.
Example 1: When there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle 

Operate the steering wheel so that the vehicle width
line and the obstacle do not overlap.

Example 2: When parking on the shoulder

Approach the shoulder, but do not allow the vehicle
width line to overlap the curb or other obstacles.
After confirming the distance to the shoulder of the
road,  maneuvering  the  vehicle  so  that  the  vehicle
width line and the curb or other obstacle are parallel
allows the vehicle to be parked evenly.
