■The RCTA function is operational when
The RCTA function operates when all of the following conditions are met:
● The BSM system is set to on. (P. 336)
● The shift lever is in R.
● Vehicle speed is less than approximately 8 km/h (5 mph).
● Approaching vehicle speed is between approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) and
28 km/h (18 mph).
■ Conditions under which the RCTA function will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed to detect the following types of vehicles
and/or objects:
● Vehicles approaching from directly behind
● Vehicles backing up in a parking space next to your vehicle
● Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehicle*
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
● Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions

■ Conditions under which the RCTA function may not function correctly
● The RCTA function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situa-
tions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is covering the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between
each vehicle
• When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
• When backing up on a slope with a
sharp change in grade
• When backing out of a shallow angle
parking spot

• Immediately after the RCTA function is set to on
• Immediately after the hybrid system is started with the RCTA function is
set to on
● Instances of the RCTA function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase in the following situations:
• When a vehicle passes by the side of your vehicle
• When the distance between your vehicle and metal objects, such as a
guardrail, wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may reflect electrical waves
toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
• When the sensors cannot detect a
vehicle due to obstructions
• When the parking space faces a
street and vehicles are being driven
on the street

Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.

This system can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display.
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select .
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select .
Press on the meter con-
trol switches to enable/dis-
able the system.
When enabled, the Toyota
parking assist-sensor indica-
tor will illuminate.
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain OFF until it is
turned ON again via the screen of the multi-information display. (The
system will not automatically turn ON even when the hybrid system is
restarted.)
When the sensors detect an obstacle, a graphic is shown on the multi
information display depending on the position and distance to the
obstacle.

When a sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approxi-
mate distance to the obstacle are displayed and the buzzer sounds.
The volume and timing of the buzzer can be changed. ( P. 679)
