■Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)
Auto Trailer Detect ion (ATD) detects
if a trailer is attached by using the
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.
●Trailers that use TBC can be
detected by using the 7-pin trailer
brake connectors.
●Other types of trailers can be
detected using the BSM sensors.
●When a trailer is detected via BSM
or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-
abled.
●As soon as the tra iler is detected,
the detectio n area will be
extended to a maximum length of
approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from
the rear bumper of the truck.
●If the trailer does not have a 7-pin
connector, or the 7-pin connector
is not engaged, the trailer is
detected via the BSM sensor. In
this case PKSB and Intuitive park-
ing assist functi ons will not be dis-
abled.
●For trailer auto detection without engagement of 7-pin connector,
the vehicle should be moving for-
ward at speed of above 0.6 mph
(1 km/h) for at l
east 10 seconds.
●ATD function is triggered at every
power switch on/of f cycle or if the
vehicle is stopped in shift the shift
lever is in P or N for more than 90
seconds.
●Trailer detection vis BSM sensors
may be delayed if the vehicle is in
a crowded environment such as
busy parking lot, area surrounded
with trees (camping ground) or in
an environment with objects in the
immediate environment that pre-
vent sensors from sufficiently
detecting the trailer.
■Trailer Length Detection (TLD)
●Once a trailer is detected and if
the trailer length in the meter is
selected as “Auto”, the TLD func-
tion will estimate the trailer length
using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-
sors.
In order to estimate the trailer length
with TLD function and detection
area, make at least two 90 degree
turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-
ally via multi-information display
input, the detection area is also
adjusted to exceed the length of the
trailer.
●Depending on some trailer types
and the dimensions of the trailer
TMW performance may be
degraded.
■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the dri ver of
the presence of such vehicles v ia the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.

operate when
The function will op erate when the
PKSB OFF indicator is not illumi-
nated or flashing ( P.89, 504) and
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●Hybrid system output restriction
control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is a static object in the trav- eling direction of the vehicle and
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m)
away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger-than-nor-
mal brake operation is necessary
to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an immediate brake
operation is necessary to avoid a
collision.
WARNING
●Do not subject the surrounding
area of the sensor to a strong
impact. If subjected to an
impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer. If the fr ont or rear
bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate
cover.
●Keep your tires properly
inflated.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclina-
tion of the vehicle may prevent
the sensors from detecting
objects correctly or cause the sys-
tem to not operate or operate
unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as
at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects)
operates unnecessarily, such as

trol will be cancele d after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to
proceed forward and leave the
area, brake control can also be
canceled by depressing the brake
pedal. Depressing the accelera-
tor pedal after brake control is
canceled will allow you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
