Operating fault
Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...).In particular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine Toyota towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.If the towbar is not fitted by a Toyota dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
