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.

■

Vehicle sway warning function

When the system determines that

the vehicle is swaying while the

vehicle sway warning function is

operating, a buzzer sounds and a

warning message urging the driver

to rest and the symbol shown in the

illustration are simultaneously dis-

played on the multi-information dis-

play.

Depending on the vehicle and road

conditions, the warning may not

operate.

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.

●

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.

●

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

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

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-

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.

■

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 pay-

ing careful attention to your sur-

roundings.

●

The dynamic radar cruise con-

trol 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.

• Conditions under which the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode may not function cor-

rectly:

P.223

●

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 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.

●

Assisting the driver to measure

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control

is only intended to help the driver

in determining the following dis-

tance between the driver’s own

vehicle and a designated vehicle

traveling ahead. It is not a mecha-

nism that allows careless or inat-

tentive 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 vehi-

cle’s surroundings.

216

COROLLA H/B_U

WARNING

●

Assisting the driver to judge

proper following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control

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 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

gradients

Vehicle speed may exceed the

set speed when driving down a

steep hill.

●

At entrances to freeways and

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

■

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.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)

Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface

■

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation

■

VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)

Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.

■

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.

■

Secondary Collision Brake

When the airbag sensor detects
a collision, the brakes and stop
lights are automatically con-
trolled to reduce the vehicle
speed and that helps reduce the
possibility of further damage
due to a secondary collision.

■

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads

■

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

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

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
