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 n ot 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 shown 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 vehic le and cannot
be detected.
●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.

If a vehicle approaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle
is detected, the RCTA icon
( P.273) for the detected side will
be displayed on the multimedia dis-
play. This illustration shows an

RCTA buzzer
If a vehicle approaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle
is detected, a buzzer will sound.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Aler t)*
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 o bserve your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA functi on is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver tha t 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.

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 should 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 following, 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.

may be dirty. Clean the rear cam-
era lens.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●Some pedestrians, such as the
following, may not be detected by
the rear camera detection func-
tion, preventing the function from
operating properly:
• Pedestrians who are bending for-
ward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skate-
board, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long
skirt, etc., making their silhouette
obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is par-
tially hidden by an object, such as
a cart or umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured
by darkness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the
following, pedestrians may not be
detected by the rear camera
detection function, preventing the
function from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are
attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of
another vehicle, shines directly
into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness
changes suddenly, such as at the
entrance or exit of a garage or
underground parking lot
• When backing up i n a dim envi-
ronment such as during dusk or in
an underground parking lot
• When the camera position and
direction are deviated
• When a towing hook is attached • When water droplets are flowing
on the camera lens
• When the vehicle height is
extremely changed (nose up,
nose down).
• When tire chains or an emergency
tire puncture repair kit is used
• If the suspension has been modi- fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate or rear
fog light, is insta lled near the rear
camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an
additional trim strip, is installed to
the rear bumper
■Situations in which the system
may operate unexpectedly
●Even though there are no pedes-
trians in the detection area, some
objects, such as the following,
may be detected, possibly caus-
ing the rear cam era detection
function to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle
• Objects moving to ward your vehi-
cle when backing up, such as
flags or puddles (or airborne mat-
ter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or
snow)
• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram
rails, road repai rs, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen
leaves on the road
• Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches
• Objects reflected in a puddle or on
a wet road surface
• Shadows on the road
●In some situations, such as the
following, the rea r camera detec-
tion function may operate even
though there are no pedestrians in
the detection area.
• When backing up toward the road- side or a bump on the road
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
