    Crawl Control

    It is a useful option...but that awful noise is disturbing. So is it your belief that the sound I am describing is NORMAL?

    Crawl Control

    So that awful noise is normal!! Hard to believe but the members of this forum seem to be very knowledgeable. Why does not the manual discuss this noise when using crawl to alert the owner? Not nice of Toyota.
