■Situations in which the curve speed
reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the
curve speed reduction function may not
operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven
around a gentle curve
●When the accelerator pedal is being
depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven
around an extremely short curve
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not
operate properly when (vehicles
with RSA)
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate
properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly
(P.367), when using this function,
make sure to check the speed limit sign
displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not be changed to the recognized
speed limit by pressing and holding the
“+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail-
able
●When the recognized speed limit is
the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is
outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system
can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard
and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. (P.341, 544)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.

*: If equipped
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that has 2 functions:
 The BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
function
Assists the driver in making a
decision when changing lanes
 The RCTA (Rear Crossing
Traffic Alert) function
Assists the driver when backing
up
These functions use the same
sensors.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the BSM function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-ing care to observe your surround-
ings. The BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot.
Do not overly rely on the BSM func- tion. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

The BSM function and the RCTA
function can be enabled/disabled
on the screen of the multi-infor-
mation display. ( P.206, 217)
The BSM function/RCTA function will
be enabled each time the power switch
is turned to ON.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the RCTA function
There is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for pay-ing attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and driving safely.

■Outside rear view mirror indicators visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■Hearing the RCTA buzzer
The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to
hear over loud noises such as high audio volume.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavail-able” or “RCTA Unavailable” is
shown on the multi-information display
The sensor voltage has become abnor-
mal, or water, snow, mud, etc., may be built up in the vicinity of the sensor area of the rear bumper. ( P.388)
Removing the water, snow, mud, etc., from the vicinity of the sensor area should return it to normal.
Also, the sensor may not function nor- mally when used in extremely hot or cold weather.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” or “RCTA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is shown on the multi-information
display
There may be a sensor malfunction or misaligned. Have the vehicle inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P.206, 217)
WARNING
■To ensure the system can oper- ate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are installed inside the left and right sides of the rear bumper respectively.
Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can function cor-rectly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-rounding areas on the rear bumper
clean at all times. If a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not operate and a warning message ( P.388) will be
displayed. In this situation, clear off the dirt or snow and drive the vehi-cle with the operation conditions of
the BSM function ( P.390) satis- fied for approximately 10 minutes. If the warning message does not dis-
appear, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
