4-5. Using the driving support systems

In vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle auto-
matically accelerates, deceler-
ates and stops to match the
speed changes of the preceding
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 with full-speed range on
freeways and highways.

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.

WARNING

• Conditions under which the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode may not function cor-

rectly:



P.266

●

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 serious injury.

●

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.

258

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

●

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

●

When your vehicles is towing a

trailer or another vehicle, except

when the following condition is

met.

• When the other vehicle is a

trailer properly attached and

connected to Toyota’s official

TBC ECU. (



P.181)

●

When an approach warning

buzzer is heard often

●

When the vehicle is lifted up,

except in the following cases.

• When using a Toyota official lift

kit up to 4 in. (101 mm), includ-

ing tire height. Aftermarket lift

kits may degrade system perfor-

mance.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

ing

This mode employs a radar 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 suitable fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-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.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accel-
erate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side
driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from where the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal lever
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver
normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the
right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the left, the
vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).

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.

Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.

Dynamic radar cruise control indi-

cator will come on and a message

will be displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display. Press the switch

again to deactivate the cruise con-

trol.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-

tor)

The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver for
lane changing decision.

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.

Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)

Auto Trailer Detection (ATD) detects

if a trailer is attached by using the

Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.

●

Trailers that use TBC can be

detected by using the 7-pin trailer

brake connectors.

●

Other types of trailers can be

detected using the BSM sensors.

●

When a trailer is detected via BSM

or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-

abled.

●

As soon as the trailer is detected,

the detection area will be

extended to a maximum length of

approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from

the rear bumper of the truck.

●

If the trailer does not have a 7-pin

connector, or the 7-pin connector

is not engaged, the trailer is

detected via the BSM sensor. In

this case PKSB and Intuitive park-

ing assist functions will not be dis-

abled.

●

For trailer auto detection without

engagement of 7-pin connector,

the vehicle should be moving for-

ward at speed of above 0.6 mph

(1 km/h) for at least 10 seconds.

●

ATD function is triggered at every

power switch on/off cycle or if the

vehicle is stopped in shift the shift

lever is in P or N for more than 90

seconds.

●

Trailer detection vis BSM sensors

may be delayed if the vehicle is in

a crowded environment such as

busy parking lot, area surrounded

with trees (camping ground) or in

an environment with objects in the

immediate environment that pre-

vent sensors from sufficiently

detecting the trailer.

■

Trailer Length Detection (TLD)

●

Once a trailer is detected and if

the trailer length in the meter is

selected as “Auto”, the TLD func-

tion will estimate the trailer length

using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-

sors.

In order to estimate the trailer length

with TLD function and detection

area, make at least two 90 degree

turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-

ally via multi-information display

input, the detection area is also

adjusted to exceed the length of the

trailer.

●

Depending on some trailer types

and the dimensions of the trailer

TMW performance may be

degraded.

■

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.
