t5IF3FBS$SPTT5SBGGJD"MFSUGVODUJPO BTTJTUTUIFESJWFSXIFOCBDLJOHVQ

The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling in the
Rav4’s blind spot. If a vehicle is detected, the driver will be alerted via the outside
rear view side mirror indicators.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert function:
While in reverse, when a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear of the
vehicle is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators flash.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this system before
attempting to use it.
Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bumper of
the rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor system is located
above the license plate.
To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “MENU” button and
select “Display”. Select “Camera” to adjust the screen contrast and brightness.

Intuitive Parking Assist (if equipped)
The Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automated Braking consists of the following
functions that operate when driving at a low speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a
detected object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive
action. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected
object is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.

Radar sensorCamera sensor
Sensors
TSS 2.0 combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rear view
mirror and a radar mounted in the front grille. These sensors support the driver assist
systems.
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect a
vehicle or pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that
this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use PCS
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may not operate or
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while driving on a
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle or pedestrian or bicyclist
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system may not operate properly.
Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information Display
(MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking
force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it. Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the
impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and information.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS 2.0 package
may also help to detect a pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle using the
in-vehicle camera and front grille-mounted radar. The in-vehicle camera of PCS
detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist based on size, profile, and motion of
the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However, a pedestrian or bicyclist may not
be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness
and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian or
bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

Star Safety System™
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
"/5*-0$,#3",&4:45&. "#4

Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
#3",&"44*45 #"

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can.

Floor mat installation
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.

Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
