●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to
remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The front sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights
or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights that are either switched off,
dirty, are changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks, etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a
truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty, or are not aimed properly.
• The vehicle is listing or titling due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between in
an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

RSA recognizes specific road signs using the front sensor and pro-
vides information to the driver via the multi-information 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 display and warning
buzzer
*.
*: This setting needs to be customized.

After the front sensor recognizes a sign, it is displayed on the multi-
information display when the vehicle passes the sign.
●When the driving assist system
information is selected, a maxi-
mum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. (P. 107)
●When other than the driving
assist system information is
selected, a speed limit sign or
an all canceled sign can be dis-
played. (P. 107)
A no overtaking sign and a speed
limit sign with supplemental mark
are not displayed. However, if
signs other than speed limit signs
are recognized, they are men-
tioned in a stack under the current
speed limit sign.

UK AURIS_HB_EE (OM12K97E)■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
●The front sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the front sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front sensor.
●The sign is small, dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the
contrast is poor.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
●Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the front sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
●The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
Navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the Navigation sys-
tem using map data.

Types of sensors
Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
Vehicles without a navigation/multimedia system:
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Vehicles with a navigation/multimedia system:
Refer to the “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s man-
ual”.

on the meter control switches to select .
Press on the meter con-
trol switches to enable/dis-
able the system.
When enabled, the Toyota

tor will illuminate.
When the sensors detect an obstacle, a graphic is shown on the multi
information display depending on the position and distance to the
obstacle.

■The Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
●Front sensors:
• Vehicles with a Multidrive:
The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• Vehicles with a manual transmission:
The parking brake is not applied.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
(At any speed when the shift lever is in R)
●Rear sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
■Sensor detection information
●Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be
closer than they are.
