Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit- able following distance from the vehicle ahead.

Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.

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 control. Example of deceleration cruising When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automati- cally decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

307

SIENNA_OM_OM45483U_(U)

2-4. Using other driving systems

Example of follow-up cruising When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance set by the driver. Example of acceleration When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than the set speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to constant speed cruising.

Approach warning

When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the dis- play will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An exam- ple of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance. ■ Warnings may not occur when

In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will not occur: ● When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your

vehicle speed

● When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed ● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set ● At the instant the accelerator is applied

Selecting conventional constant speed control mode

Constant speed control mode differs from vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain a set speed regardless of whether or not there are other vehicles in the lane ahead.

Press the “ON-OFF” button to activate the cruise control. Dynamic radar cruise control indi- cator will come on. Press the button again to deacti- vate the cruise control. Switch to constant speed con- trol mode. (Push the lever forward and hold for approximately one second) Constant speed control mode indicator will come on. When in constant speed control mode, to return to vehicle-to-vehi- cle distance control mode, push the lever forward again and hold for approximately 1 second. After the desired speed has been set, it is not possible to return to vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode.

CAUTION

■Before using dynamic radar cruise control

Do not overly rely on vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. Be aware of the set speed. If automatic deceleration/acceleration is not appropriate, adjust the vehicle speed, as well as the distance between your vehicle and vehicles ahead by applying the brakes, etc.

■Caution regarding the driving assist systems

Observe the following precautions. 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 travelling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows careless 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.

●Assist 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 travelling ahead is appropriate or not. 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 possibility of danger in any given situation.

●Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle

The dynamic radar cruise control has no capability to prevent or avoid a collision with a vehicle travelling 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.

■To avoid inadvertent cruise control activation

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

CAUTION

■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead

Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles are in front of you. As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning (P. 308) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious accident may result. ●Vehicles that cut in suddenly ●Vehicles traveling at low speeds ●Vehicles that are not moving ●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.) ●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may

not function correctly Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sen- sor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious accident may result: ●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the

functioning of the sensor

●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the lug-

gage compartment, etc.)

●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow ●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable ●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly

2-4. Using other driving systems Driving assist systems

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys- tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle. ■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

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

■ Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation

■ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road surfaces

■ Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS. Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road surfaces by controlling steering performance.

■ TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin- ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads

■ Hill-start assist control (if equipped)

P. 337

■ EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel

switch has not been pressed TRAC and hill-start assist control (if equipped) cannot be operated. Contact your Toyota dealer.

■Sounds and vibrations caused by ABS, brake assist, Enhanced VSC

and TRAC ●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment 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 systems 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 after the vehicle comes to a stop. • The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after ABS is activated.

■EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■Reactivation of the TRAC and VSC systems after turning off the engine Turning off the engine after turning off the TRAC and VSC systems will auto- matically reactivate them.

■Reactivation of the TRAC system linked to vehicle speed

When only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC system will turn on when vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRAC and VSC sys- tems are turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.

■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system

The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering 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.

CAUTION

■ABS does not operate effectively when

●The limits of tire gripping performance 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 ABS is operating may exceed that of normal

conditions The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol- lowing situations. ●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 roads with uneven surfaces

■TRAC may not operate effectively when

Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip- pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating. Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.

CAUTION

■When Enhanced VSC is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.

■When TRAC and VSC systems are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn the TRAC and VSC systems off unless necessary.

■Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the specified size and of the same brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire pressure level. The ABS and Enhanced VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle. Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.

■Handling of tires and suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause the system to malfunction.

2-4. Using other driving systems PCS (Pre-Collision System)

When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the pre-collision system such as the brakes and seat belts are auto- matically engaged to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage. ■ Pre-collision seat belts (front seat belts only)

If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-collision system will retract the seat belt before the colli- sion occurs. The same will happen if the driver makes an emer- gency braking or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 132) However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in the event of skidding.

■ Pre-collision brake assist

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

■ Pre-collision braking

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the driver using a warning light and buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are auto- matically applied to reduce the collision speed. Pre-collision braking can be disabled using the pre-collision braking off switch.

■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of

a collision ●When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve ●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve ●When driving over a narrow iron bridge ●When there is a metal object on the road surface ●When driving on an uneven road surface ●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn ●When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front ●When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure

appears to be directly in the vehicle’s line of travel

●When climbing a steep hill or going down a downhill slope causes an overhead billboard or other metallic structure to appear directly in the vehicle’s line of travel

●When there are excessive changes in the vehicle height (when it tilts for-

wards or backwards)

●When passing through an electronic toll collection gate (only in countries

with electronic toll collection)

●When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment ●When passing through the overpass When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be applied with a force greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.

■Obstacles not detected

The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may also be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, ani- mals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.

343

SIENNA_OM_OM45483U_(U)

2-4. Using other driving systems

■Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly

The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following: ●On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces ●If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an inter-

section

●If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtak-

ing

●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms ●When your vehicle is skidding such as the VSC system off ●When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs ●When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment

■Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system

When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision possibility.

■When there is a malfunction in the system

Warning lights and warning messages will turn on or flash. (P. 743)

CAUTION

■Limitations of the pre-collision system

Do not overly rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards. Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system

By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-collision system is intended to assist the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK- JUDGE-ACT. There are limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind the following important points. ●Assisting the driver in watching the road

The pre-collision system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings. ●Assisting the driver in making correct judgment

When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data available to the pre-collision system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possi- bility of collision in any given situation.

●Assisting the driver in taking action

The pre-collision system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce the severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a collision is unavoidable. This system by itself is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision or bringing the vehicle to a stop safety. For this reason, when encountering a dangerous situation the driver must take direct and immediate action in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the lug-

gage compartment etc.)

●Vehicles that cut in suddenly ●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.) ●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
