ing.

automatically cancelled and a warning
code appears on the display. (See

However, if the glass sensor is covered
with icicle or any substance, dirt may
not be detected.
Before driving in the vehicle- to-vehicle
distance control mode, make sure the
radar sensor glass is clean.
This product is a class I laser product

control will function properly while
driving, observe the following:
 Always keep the laser radar sensor
glass clean. When cleaning, use a
soft cloth and be careful not to
damage the sensor.
 Avoid strong impacts around the la-
ser radar sensor. An incorrect laser
radar sensor alignment will result in
system malfunction. A special de-
vice is required to adjust the laser
radar sensor alignment. Be sure to
have the sensor adjusted by your
Toyota dealer.
 Do not affix a sticker (including a
transparent sticker) or attach an ac-
cessory around the laser radar sen-

VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE DISTANCE

pear on the display. Dynamic laser cruise
control is automatically cancelled.
If “E3” appears on the display, the
“CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument
cluster also flashes.
