are not detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are out side of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.
■Object warning function operat-
ing conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the EV system is
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been
selected, the vehicle has moved
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed
and the panoramic view monitor
screen is displayed.
●The front or rear s ensor detects a
stationary object.
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until th e vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors or side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side
cameras, but then leaves the
detection area of the side sensors
or side cameras, the system will
assume the object has not moved.
WARNING
■Side sensors and side cam-
eras
In situations such as the following,
the function may not operate cor-
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Proceed carefully.
●When starting off shortly after
the power switch is turned to
ON and a small vehicle or other
object which cannot be detected
by a front side sensor is next to
the vehicle.
In the situation s hown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on
the left will not be detected and
the object warni ng function will
not operate.
●When an object or person is in a
position which cannot be
detected by the side sensors or
side cameras.
●When, after the side sensors
have completed scanning the
areas along the sides of the
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or
other object approaches the
side of the vehicle and cannot
be detected.

*: If equipped
WARNING
●When the outside rear view mir-
ror is closed, the side sensors
or side cameras cannot detect
objects.
●If the 12-volt battery was dis-
charged or has been removed
and installed, fold and extend
the outside rear view mirrors.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sen-
sors installed behind the
rear bumper. This function
is intended to assist the
driver in checking areas
that are not easily visible
when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not
function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

Pedestrian detection icon
Displayed automatically when a
pedestrian is detected.
(Each time the power switch is
turned off then changed to ON, the
RCD function will be enabled auto-
matically.)
RCD (Rear Camera
Detection)*
When the vehicle is backing
up, the rear camera detec-
tion function can detect
pedestrians in the detec-
tion area behind the vehicle.
If a pedestrian is detected, a
buzzer will sound and an
icon will be displayed on
the multimedia display to
inform the driver of the
pedestrian.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The recognition and control capa-
bilities for this system are limited.
The driver shoul d always drive
safely by always being responsi-
ble without over relying on the
system and have a understanding
of the surrounding situations.
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Observe the follo wing, otherwise
there is the danger that could lead
to an accident.
●Always clean the camera with-
out damaging it.
●Do not install market electronic
parts (such as Illuminated
license plate, fog lamps, etc.) in
the camera vicinity.
●Do not subject the camera vicin-
ity to strong impacts. If the vicin-
ity is subjected to a strong
impact, have the vehicle
inspected at a Toyota dealer.
●Do not disassemble, remodel or
paint the camera.
●Do not attach accessories or
stickers to the camera.
●Do not install market protection
parts (bumper tr im, etc.) to the
rear bumper.
●Maintain suitable tire air pres-
sure.
●Make sure the back door is
completely closed.
■RCD function i s turned off
In the following situations the sys-
tem turns off. The RCD function
may not operate properly and
thus there is the danger that an
accident may occur.
●The contents mentioned above
are not observed
●Suspensions other than Toyota
genuine parts are installed

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system,
as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and
road conditions, weather, etc., the
system may not operate.
The detection capa bilities of sen-
sors and radars are limited.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
carefully, taking care to observe
your surroundings. The Parking
Support Brake system is
designed to provide support to
lessen the severity of collisions.
However, it may not operate in
some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake sys-
tem is not designed to stop the
vehicle completely. Additionally,
even if the system has stopped
the vehicle, it is necessary to
depress the brake pedal imme-
diately as brake control will be
canceled after approximately 2
seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to
check the system operations by
intentionally driving the vehicle
into the direction of a wall, etc.
Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking
Support Brake
In the following situations, disable
the Parking Suppor t Brake as the
system may opera te even though
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●When inspecting the vehicle
using a chassis roller, chassis
dynamo or free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport
vessel
●If the suspension has been
modified or tires of a size other
than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is
raised or lowered due to the
carried load
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed,
such as a towing eyelet, bumper
protector (an additional trim
strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow
●When using automatic car
washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in
a stable manner, such as when
the vehicle has been in an acci-
dent or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn

is no possibility of a collision
In addition to the situations in which
stationary objects around the vehi-

objects may not be detected by the
sensors in the fo llowing situations
When moving sideways, such as
when parallel parking: P. 3 3 8
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until the vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors o r side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc, is
