Driving
●Instances of the RCTA function unnecessarily detecting a vehicl e and/or
object may increase in the following situations:
• When a vehicle passes by the side of your vehicle
• When the distance between your vehicle and metal objects, such as a
guardrail, wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may reflect electrical waves
toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
● When there are spinning objects near your vehicle such as the f an of an air
conditioning unit
■ Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 91, 492)
• When the parking space faces a
street and vehicles are being driven
on the street

2654-5. Using the driving support systems

Driving
●In some situations, such as the following, the rear camera dete ction function
may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area.
• When a three dimensional object, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehicle, is detected
• When a moving object, such as a car or motorcycle is detected
• When backing up toward moving objects such as flags or puddles , or air-
borne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow
• When there is a pattern on the road, due to the road being mad e of cob-
blestone or gravel or having tram rails, traces of repair, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the surface
• When backing up on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for
drainage ditches
• When backing up toward the roadside or a bump in the road
• When an object is reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surfa ce
• When there are shadows on the road
• When backing up over a bump in the road
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted, such as when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are installed
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate or rear fog
light, is installed near the rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper
• If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed due to a collision
or other impact, or removal and installation
• If a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are at tached) or
scratched
• When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
• If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as th e emergency
flashers of another vehicle
■ Situations in which the rear cam era detection function may be difficult to
notice
● If buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy, the volume
of the audio system volume is high, the air conditioning system is being
used, etc.
● If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the a udio system
screen may not operate correctly.

2704-5. Using the driving support systems
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Front center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Toyota parking assist monitor or pan-
oramic view monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appea r in the upper
part of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the d etection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the buzze r sounds.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed
on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such case s, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a mal function dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sens or thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ Certification
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB-001 du Canada.
■ Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 91, 492)

2924-5. Using the driving support systems
■Situations in which the system m ay operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake
function may operate even though there is no possibility of a c ollision.
● When there are spinning objects near your vehicle such as the f an of an air
conditioning unit
● When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from a
sprinkler
●
When the parking space faces a street
and vehicles are being driven on the
street
● When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle
● When a vehicle passes by the side of
your vehicle
● When the distance between your vehicle
and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear
of the vehicle, is short

Eco drive mode
Use Eco drive mode to help achieve low fuel consumption during
trips that involve frequent accelerating.
When the “ECO” switch is pressed, the “ECO MODE” indicator comes on
in the multi-information display.
Sport mode
• SPORT S mode
Controls the transmission and eng ine to provide quick, powerful
acceleration. This mode is suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driving on roads with many
curves.
When not in SPORT S mode, if the “SPORT S/S+” switch is pressed ,
the “SPORT S” indicator will come on in the multi-information d isplay.
• SPORT S+ mode
Helps to ensure steering perfo rmance and driving stability by
simultaneously controlling the steering and suspension in addi-
tion to the transmission and engi ne. Suitable for sportier driving.
When in SPORT S mode, if the “SPORT S/S+” switch is pressed, th e
“SPORT S+” indicator will come on in the multi-information disp lay.

conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■ Automatic deactivation of sport mode and custom mode
If the engine switch is turned off after driving in sport mode or custom mode,
the drive mode will be changed to normal mode.
