■If a warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
A system may be temporarily
unavailable or there may be a mal-
function in the system.
●In the following situations, perform
the actions specif ied in the table.
When the normal operating condi-
tions are detecte d, the message
will disappear and the system will
become operational.
If the message does not disappear,
contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationActions
When the area
around a sensor
is covered with
dirt, moisture
(fogged up, cov-
ered with con-
densation, ice,
etc.), or other
foreign matter
To clean the part
of the wind-
shield in front of
the front camera,
use the wind-
shield wipers or
the windshield
defogger of the
air conditioning
system ( P.505,
512).When the tem-
perature around
the front camera
is outside of the
operational
range, such as
when the vehi-
cle is in the sun
or in an
extremely cold
environment
If the front cam-
era is hot, such
as after the vehi-
cle had been
parked in the
sun, use the air
conditioning sys-
tem to decrease
the temperature
around the front
camera.
If a sunshade
was used when
the vehicle was
parked, depend-
ing on its type,
the sunlight
reflected from
the surface of
the sunshade
may cause the
temperature of
the front camera
to become
excessively high.
If the front cam-
era is cold, such
as after the vehi-
cle is parked in
an extremely
cold environ-
ment, use the air
conditioning sys-
tem to increase
the temperature
around the front
camera.
SituationActions

2304-5. Using the driving support systems
●In the following situations, if the
situation has changed (or the
vehicle has been driven for some
time) and the normal operating
conditions are detected, the mes-
sage will disappea r and the sys-
tem will become o perational.
If the message does not disappear,
contact your Toyota dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the
operational range, such as when
the vehicle is in the sun or in an
extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot
detect objects in front of the vehi-
cle, such as when driving in the
dark, snow, or fog, or when bright
lights are shinin g into the front
camera
The system can detect the fol-
lowing:
 Vehicles
 Bicyclists
 Pedestrians
The area in front
of the front cam-
era is
obstructed, such
as when the
hood is open or
a sticker is
attached to the
part of the wind-
shield in front of
the front camera.
Close the hood,
remove the
sticker, etc. to
clear the
obstruction.
SituationActionsPCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses a radar sensor and
front camera to detect
objects ( P.229) in front of
the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high,
a warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive
action and the potential
brake pressure is increased
to help the driver avoid the
collision. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision
with an object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the
collision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.232)

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
When driving on highways
and freeways with white
(yellow) lane lines, this
function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might
depart from its lane or
course
* and provides assis-
tance by operating the
steering wheel to keep the
vehicle in its lane or
course
*. Furthermore, the
system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operat-
ing to keep the vehicle in its
lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) lane lines or a
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects
preceding vehicles using
the front camera and radar.

RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using
the front camera to provide
information to the driver via
the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over
the speed limit, performing
prohibited actions, etc. in
relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the
driver using a warning dis-
play and warning buzzer.
WA R N I N G
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA
system. RSA is a system which
supports the driver by providing
information, but it is not a replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.
