Using this system, a desired
speed and a distance to a vehi-
cle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering
wheel.
The system maintains the
desired speed on clear roads.
For this purpose, the vehicle
accelerates or brakes automati-
cally.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of
you, the system adjusts the
speed of your vehicle so that the
set distance to the vehicle
ahead is maintained. The speed
is adjusted as far as the given
situation allows.

A radar sensor is located in the
front bumper and a camera on
the interior mirror to detect vehi-
cles driving ahead of you.
Depending on the vehicle set-
tings, the characteristics of the
Cruise Control may change.
The distance can be adjusted in
several steps. For safety rea-
sons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you

brakes to a halt, and then pro-
ceeds to drive again within a
brief period, the system is able
to detect this within the given
system limits.

The system does not decelerate
in the following situations:



For pedestrians or similarly
slow-moving road users.



For red traffic lights.



For cross traffic.



For oncoming traffic.

A vehicle driving in front of you
is not detected until it is com-
pletely within the same lane as
your vehicle.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you
suddenly swerves into your
lane, the system may not be
able to automatically restore the
selected distance. It may not be
possible to restore the selected
distance in certain situations,
including if you are driving sig-
nificantly faster than vehicles
driving ahead of you, for
instance when rapidly approach-
ing a truck. When a vehicle driv-
ing ahead of you is reliably
detected, the system requests

that the driver intervene by brak-
ing and carrying out evasive
maneuvers, if needed.

When the desired speed is too
high for a curve, the speed is
reduced slightly. Because
curves may not be anticipated in
advance, drive into a curve at an
appropriate speed.
The system has a limited detec-
tion range. Situations can arise
in tight curves where a vehicle
driving ahead will not be
detected or will be detected very
late.

When you approach a curve the
system may briefly report vehi-
cles in the next lane due to the
bend of the curve. If the system
decelerates you may compen-

pendently.

In some situations, the vehicle
cannot drive off automatically;
for example:



On steep uphill grades.



From bumps in the road.

In these cases, step on the
accelerator pedal.

The following restrictions can
occur under unfavorable
weather or light conditions:



Poorer vehicle recognition.



Short-term interruptions for
vehicles that are already rec-
ognized.

Examples of unfavorable
weather or light conditions:



Wet conditions.



Snowfall.



Slush.



Fog.



Glare.

Drive attentively, and react to
the current traffic situation. If
necessary, intervene actively,
for instance by braking, steering
or evading.

The desired speed is also main-
tained downhill. The speed may
not be maintained on uphill
grades if the engine power is
insufficient.

The system cannot be activated
if the radar sensor is not aligned
correctly. This may be caused
by damage incurred, for
instance during parking.
A vehicle message is displayed
if the system fails.
Have the system checked by
your Toyota dealer.
The system may be impaired
when the detection range of the
radar sensor is partially covered
such as by the license plate
holder.

The function for detecting and
responding when approaching
stationary vehicles may be lim-
ited in the following situations:

General information

An intermittent tone indicates
when the vehicle is approaching
an object. For instance, if an
object is detected to the left rear
of the vehicle, a signal tone
sounds from the left rear
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the
object, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected
object is less than approx. 8
in/20 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
If there are objects in front of
and behind the vehicle at the
same time, with a distance
smaller than approx. 8 in/20 cm,
an alternating constant tone will
sound.
The intermittent tone and con-
stant tone are switched off if the
selector lever position P is
engaged.
The intermittent tone is switched
off after a short time when the
vehicle is stationary.

fog, even if it is daytime, turn the
low beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
other vehicles, etc. Drive with
caution at a low speed, using
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle,
etc., as guide.

When the vehicle is being blown
by crosswinds, drive at a lower
speed and grip the steering
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-
ceptible to crosswinds when
exiting a tunnel or underpass,
when driving on a bridge or
embankment, or when passing
or being passed by a truck or
other large vehicle.

Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.

On wet or slushy roads, a
wedge of water can form
between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to
as hydroplaning. It is character-
ized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately
undermining your ability to steer
and brake the vehicle.

When driving through water, fol-
low the following:



Deactivate Auto Start/Stop
function.



Drive through calm water

only.



Drive through water only if it is
not deeper than maximum 9.8
inches/25 cm.



Drive through water no faster
than walking speed, up to 3
mph/5 km/h.

The vehicle is equipped with an
Antilock Braking System ABS as

perforated brake discs can emit

functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.

When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against

General information

Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.

■

Safety information

Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:



Low mileage.



Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.

Objects in the area around
the pedals

WARNING

Objects in the driver's floor area

can limit the pedal distance or

block a depressed pedal. There is

a risk of an accident. Stow objects

in the vehicle such that they are

secured and cannot enter into the

driver's floor area. Use floor mats

that are suitable for the vehicle

and can be safely attached to the

floor. Do not use loose floor mats

and do not layer several floor

mats. Make sure that there is suf-

ficient clearance for the pedals.

Ensure that the floor mats are

securely fastened again after they

were removed, for instance for

cleaning.

Driving in wet conditions

Hills

WARNING

Light but consistent brake pres-

sure can lead to high tempera-

tures, brakes wearing out and

possibly even brake failure. There

is a risk of an accident. Avoid

placing excessive stress on the

brake system.

WARNING

In idle state or with the engine

switched off, safety functions, for

instance engine braking effect,

braking assistance and steering

assistance, may not be available.

There is a risk of accident. Do not

attempt to drive in idle state or

with the engine switched off.

IVING TIPS



Infrequent use of the brakes.



Aggressive, acidic, or alka-
line cleaning agents.

Corrosion buildup on the brake
discs will cause a pulsating
effect on the brakes in their
response - generally this cannot
be corrected.

When using the automatic air
conditioning, condensation
water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.

Higher mechanical and thermal
loads during racetrack operation
lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not
designed for use in motor sports
competition.
Have vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer before and after
driving on a racetrack.

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.

The vehicle contains advanced
technologies for the reduction of
consumption and emission val-
ues.
Fuel consumption depends on a
number of different factors.
Carrying out certain measures,
such as a moderate driving style
and regular maintenance, can
influence fuel consumption and
the environmental impact.

Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.

Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.

Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.

Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.

Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.

Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.

Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.

Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 146.

When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
For going downhill take your foot

vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted
while coasting.

Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic
lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.

The Auto Start/Stop function of
the vehicle automatically
switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.

Functions such as seat heating
and the rear window defroster

require a lot of energy and
increase fuel consumption,
especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they
are not needed.

Have the vehicle maintained
regularly to achieve optimal
vehicle efficiency and service
life. Toyota recommends that
maintenance work be performed
by Toyota.

nance System, refer to page

Depending on the region, many
gas stations sell fuel that has
been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is
available in winter,for instance
helps make a cold start easier.

For the best fuel efficiency, the
gasoline should be sulfur-free or
very low in sulfur content.
Fuels that are marked on the
gas pump as containing metal

must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 25 %, i. e. E10 or
E25, may be used for refueling.
Ethanol should meet the follow-
ing quality standards:
US: ASTM 4806–xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511–xx
xx: comply with the current stan-
dard in each case.

WARNING

The use of poor-quality fuels may

result in harmful engine deposits

or damage. Additionally, problems

relating to drivability, starting and

stalling, especially under certain

environmental conditions such as

high ambient temperature and

high altitude, may occur.
If drivability problems are encoun-

tered, we recommend switching

to a high quality gasoline brand

and a higher octane grade - AKI

number - for a few tank fills. To

avoid harmful engine deposits, it

is highly recommended to pur-

chase gasoline from Top Tier

retailers.
Failure to comply with these rec-

ommendations may result in the

need for unscheduled mainte-

nance.
