3885-5. Using the driving support systems
■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.

3985-5. Using the driving support systems
may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice
melts, the system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even
if the sensor is clean, there may be a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is
displayed on the multi-information
display (vehicles with PKSB)
Water may be continuously flowing over
the sensor surface, such as in a heavy
rain. When the system determines that it
is normal, the system will return to nor-
mal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are lim-
ited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may
be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static
objects draw too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
static object detection and display
(warning buzzer sounds). Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within 25 cm (9.8 in.)
before the display is shown and the
warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer
due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning
system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of
other systems.
■Objects which the system may not
properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
■Situations in which the system may
not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area
will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor
is frozen the sensor display may be
displayed abnormally, or objects, such
as a wall, may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-

4707-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the
vehicle, such as on the floor, on the rear seats, in the DC/DC Converter air intake vent, junction box or in
the luggage compartment. ( P.99) Doing so may cause the DC/DC Converter, electrical components,
etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. ( P.40) An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:Do not let the wireless charger
( P.456) get wet. Failure to do so may cause the charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause
electric shock resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of
detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gaso-line, alkaline or acidic solutions,
dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco-
hol
●Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other interior part’s painted surface
may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces

The rear passengers’ seat belt warning buzzer sounds to alert the rear passen-
ger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. If the seat belt is unfastened, the
buzzer sounds intermittently for a certain period of time after the vehicle reaches
a certain speed.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be
heard because of noisy place or an audio sound.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front pas-
senger seat, the front passenger detection sensor may cause the warn-ing light to flash and the warning
buzzer to sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank becomes com-pletely empty. If the fuel tank is empty,
refuel the vehicle immediately. The mal- function indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)

tion: Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch off.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start the
hybrid system of your vehicle by
turning the power switch to ON.
8 Make sure the “READY” indica-
tor comes on. If the indicator
light does not come on, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or

9 Once the hybrid system has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were con-
nected.
10 Close the exclusive jump start-
ing terminal cover, and reinstall
the fuse box cover to its original
position.
Once the hybrid system starts,
have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio
system while the hybrid system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the 12-volt battery is
depleted, have the vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●Some systems may require initializa-
tion. ( P.609)
■When removing the 12-volt battery terminals
