WARNING
■To prevent malfunction of the
radar sensors
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to a
radar sensor not operating prop-
erly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Keep the radar sensors and
radar sensor covers clean at all
times.
Clean the front of a radar sensor
or the front or back of a radar sen-
sor cover if it is dirty or covered
with water droplets, snow, etc.
When cleaning the radar sensor
and radar sensor cover, use a soft
cloth to remove dirt so as to not
damage them.

WARNING
●Vehicles with front side radar
sensors: Keep the surrounding
area of the front side radar sen-
sors on the front bumper clean
at all times.
●Do not attach accessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a radar sensor or radar sensor
cover and their surrounding
area.
●Do not subject a radar sensor or
its surrounding area to impact.
If a radar sensor, the front grille,
or front bumper has been sub-
jected to a impact, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not disassemble the radar
sensors.
●Do not modify or paint the radar
sensors or radar sensor cover,
or replace them with anything
other than Toyota genuine
parts.
●In the following situations, recal-
ibration of the radar sensors will
be necessary. For details, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
• When a radar sensor is removed and installed, or
replaced
• When the front bumper or the front grille has been replaced
■To prevent malfunction of the
front camera
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to the
front camera not operating prop-
erly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Always keep the windshield
clean.
• If the windshield is dirty or cov- ered with an o ily film, water
droplets, snow, etc., clean the
windshield.
• Even if a glass coating agent is applied to the windshield, it will
still be necessary to use the
windshield wipers to remove
water droplets, etc. from the
area of the windshield in front of
the front camera.
• If the inner side of the wind- shield where the front camera is
installed is dirty, contact your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach stickers (including
transparent stickers) or other
items to the area of the wind-
shield in front of the front cam-
era (shaded area in the
illustration).

the driver monitor camera may
move out of alignment and the
driver may no longer be detected
correctly. In this case, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the driver monitor camera.

camera or place anything in
front of it.
●Keep the lens of the driver mon-
itor camera free from damage.
●Do not touch the lens of the
driver monitor came ra or allow it
to become dirty.

WARNING
■For safe use
●The driver monitor is not
designed to prevent the driver
from driving carelessly or hav-
ing a poor driving posture. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●The driver monitor cannot

unable to concentrate or
drowsy, take a break and sleep
as necessary in order to ensure
safe driving.

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses sensors to detect
objects ( P.294) in the path
of the vehicle. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable
object is high, a warning
operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure
is increased to help the
driver avoid the collision. If
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.304)

relative to your vehicle, your

crosswind or the turbulence of
other nearby vehicles

3205-5. Using the driving support systems
PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.321) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully. ( P.323)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.

ing assist off

front of an approaching vehicle
●When an oncoming vehicle
approaches and passes
●When being overtaken by another
vehicle
●When driving next to another vehi-
cle or a pedestrian
●When a vehicle or pedestrian
approaches the side of your vehi-
cle
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
In situations such as the following, a
vehicle may not be detected by a
front side radar sensor and the sys-
tem may not operate properly:
●If an approaching vehicle moves
suddenly (sudden steering, accel-
eration, deceleration, etc.)
●If a vehicle is approaching from
the left or right of the front of your
vehicle diagonally
●When a vehicle is approaching
from the left or right in front of your
vehicle in the distance
●When there is an object between
your vehicle and an approaching
vehicle
●When several vehicles are
approaching with little space
between them
●Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly: P.289
●Situations in which some or all of
the functions of the system cannot
operate: P.291
 The FCTA can be
enabled/disabled through a

*: If equipped
When the front camera detects a sign or information
of a sign is available from the
navigation system, the sign
will be displayed on the dis-
play.
 Multiple signs can be dis-
played.
Depending on the specifications of
the vehicle, the number of dis-
played signs may be limited.
■Operating conditions of sign
display
Signs will be displayed when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
●The system has detected a sign
In the following situations, a dis-
played sign may stop being dis-
played:
●When a new sign has not been
detected for a certain distance
●When the system determines that
the road being driven on has
changed, such as after a left or
right turn
■Situations in which the display
function may not operate prop-
erly
In the following situations, the RSA
system may not operate properly
and may not detect signs or may
display the incorrect sign. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When a sign is dirty, faded, tilted
or bent
●When the contrast of an electronic
sign is low
●When all or part of a sign is hidden
by a tree, utility pole, etc.
●When a sign is detected by the
front camera for a short amount of
time
●When the driving state (turning,
changing lanes, etc.) is judged
incorrectly
RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system detects
specific road signs using
the front camera and/or nav-
igation system (when speed
limit information is avail-
able) and warns the driver
via displays and buzzers.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely solely upon the
RSA. The RSA assists the
driver by providing road sign
information, but it is not a
replacement for the driver’s own
vision and awareness. Driving
safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe
driving.
■Situations in which the RSA
should not be used

the system: P.284

tem may not operate properly
