WARNING
■When using the Toyota parking
assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check
the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
●The area directly under the bum-pers is not detected.Thin posts or objects lower than the
sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected before.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-sion.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole, wireless antenna or fog
lights.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in ON.
●Toyota parking assist-sensor function
is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about
10 km/h (6 mph).
●A shift lever other than P is selected.
●Steering wheel is turned approxi- mately 90° or more (Front side sen-
sors, rear side sensors) (if equipped)
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from
the sensor to return the system to nor- mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at
low temperatures, a warning message may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
The following situations may occur
during use.
●The sensors may be able to only
detect objects near the front and rear bumpers.
●Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-tance may shorten, or detection may
be impossible.
●If an object is extremely close to a
sensor, it may not be detected.
WARNING
●The front or rear bumper or a sen- sor receives a strong impact.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is
installed.
●Towing eyelets are installed.
●A backlit license plate is installed.
■When using Toyota parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●The Toyota parking assist-sensor operation display flashes or shows continuously, and a beep sounds
when no objects are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to strong impact.
●If the bumper or grille collides with something.
●If the display flashes or is displayed continuously and a buzzer does not sound, except when the mute func-
tion has been turned on.
●If a display error occurs, first check
the sensor. If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sen-
sor, it is likely that the sensor is mal- functioning.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
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 malfunc- tion.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.

●There will be a short delay between
object detection and display. Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the dis- play is shown and the warning beep 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 buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sound-ing.
■Conditions under which the func-
tion may not function correctly
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, water drops 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.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●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.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due
to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic
waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped
with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a
flooded road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■Objects which may not be properly detected
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.

The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sensors
installed behind the rear
bumper. This function is
intended to assist the driver in
checking areas that are not
easily visible when backing
up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-ing care to observe your surround-
ings.
The RCTA function is only a supple- mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. As the RCTA function may
not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
