When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 12 km/h (7 mph).
After the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 12 km/h (7 mph), the
image will continue to be displayed for a short time.
If the vehicle speed returns to below 12 km/h (7 mph) before the image
extinguishes, the image will continue to be displayed.

Multi-terrain Monitor cameras
In the following cases, it may be difficult to see images on the screen even
when the system is functioning correctly:
The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at night.
The temperature near the lens is extremely high or low.
Water droplets are on the camera lens or humidity is high, such as when
it rains.
Foreign matter, such as snow and mud, adheres to the camera lens.
The camera has scratches or dirt on it.
The sun or headlights are shining directly into the camera lens.
The camera lens is damaged by flying stones.

Smear effect
Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
Display settings
Refer to the “Navigation System Owner’s Manual”
If the battery is disconnected
If a bright light, such as sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect
* characteristic to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effectA phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked up
by the camera; when transmitted by
the camera, the light source will
appear to have streaks of light emanat-
ing from it. The streaks will also appear
when the light source is in the vehicle
icon area.
If the battery is disconnected and con-
nected again, the guidelines will not be
displayed and the message will be shown
on the screen.
Drive for a short period of time while
keeping the steering wheel straight.

CAUTION
When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries:
Never depend solely on the monitor system.
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the hood or doors are open.
Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has
been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
Situations unsuitable for Multi-terrain Monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains

CAUTION
Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
If the tires are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may be incorrect. When changing the tires, consult any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (number of passengers,
amount of luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to check visually behind and all around the
vehicle before proceeding.
Depending on the overall length of the vehicle (if a frontal protection sys-
tem is installed or the bumper has been replaced, etc.), the position of the
distance guidelines displayed on the front monitor may change. Be sure to
check visually behind and all around the vehicle before proceeding.
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunction-
ing.
NOTICE
When using the Multi-terrain Monitor
Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the
steering wheel further in the direction the vehicle is turning until the vehicle
has moved completely past the obstacle. If the steering wheel is turned to
full lock, the vehicle will turn in the smallest possible turning circle, and
may collide with the obstacle.
It may be difficult to judge distance with the image from the front camera
due to the characteristics of the lens. Drive carefully while checking the
actual distance to the obstacles displayed on the screen. Also, give your
full attention to sudden bumps in the road.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-
road conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud).
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
Active TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
Hill-start assist control
Helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.
KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) (if equipped)
KDSS helps to ensure ride comfort and handling response by using a
hydraulic control system to control the suspension stabilizer bars in
response to road surface and driving conditions during cornering or off-
road driving.
VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) (if equipped)
Helps to adjust the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle
speed and steering wheel movement.
Pre-Crash Safety (if equipped)
