■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display 
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations. 
● A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance. 
● The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc. 
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly 
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec- 
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a 
malfunction. 
● The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to 
the sensor, etc. 
● Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the camera sensor. 
● In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms 
● Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the camera sensor. 
● The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast 
is poor. 
● All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc. 
● The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time. 
● The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly. 
● Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign 
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before 
merging. 
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle. 
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized. 
● The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic. 
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight 
of the camera sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road. 
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi- 
tioned in sight of the camera sensor) while traveling on a roundabout. 
● The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the 
navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the navigation sys-
tem using map data.

Example of constant speed cruising 
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to- 
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis- 
tance switch.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising 
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed 
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically 
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is 
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle 
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. 
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. 
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is 
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pushing the
cruise control lever up or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume fol- 
low-up cruising.
Example of acceleration  
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower 
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then 
returns to constant speed cruising.

WARNING
■When the Stop & Start system is operating 
● Keep the shift lever in N and depress the brake pedal or apply the parking 
brake while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system (while the 
Stop & Start indicator is on). 
● Do not allow anyone to leave the vehicle while the engine is stopped by 
the Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on).  
An accident may occur due to the automatic engine start function. 
● Ensure that the engine is not stopped by the Stop & Start system while the 
vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area. The engine may restart due to the 
automatic engine start function, causing exhaust gases to collect and 
enter the vehicle, possibly resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the system operates correctly 
If any of the following situations occur, the Stop & Start system may not 
operate correctly. Have your vehicle checked by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● While the driver’s seat belt is fastened, the driver’s and front passenger’s 
seat belt reminder light flashes. 
● Even though the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, the driver’s and front 
passenger’s seat belt reminder light does not illuminate. 
● Even though the driver’s door is closed, the open door warning is dis- 
played on the multi-information display or the interior light is illuminated 
when the interior light switch is in the door position. 
● Even though the driver’s door is open, the open door warning is not dis- 
played on the multi-information display  or the interior light does not illumi- 
nate when the interior light switch is in the door position. 
■ When the engine stalled 
If the system is operational, the engine can restart by pressing the clutch 
pedal immediately.

■Exceeding the set speed 
In the following situations, the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed and dis- 
play characters will be highlighted: 
■ Automatic speed limiter cancelation 
The speed limiter is automatically canceled in any of the following situations: 
● Cruise control is activated. 
● When the VSC system and/or TRC system is turned off by pressing the 
VSC off switch. 
■ If the “Check speed limiter system” is displayed on the multi-information 
display 
Stop in a safe place, turn the engine switch off and back on again, and then 
set the speed limiter. If the speed limiter cannot be set, the system may be
malfunctioning. Even though the vehicle can be driven normally, have the 
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● When fully depressing the accelerator 
pedal 
● When driving down a slope (a buzzer 
also sounds)

■The outside rear view mirror indicators visibility 
When under strong sunlight, the outside rear  view mirror indicator may be dif- 
ficult to see. 
■ Hearing the RCTA buzzer 
The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to hear over loud noises, such as if the 
audio system volume is high. 
■ When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavailable.” is shown on the multi-informa- 
tion display 
Water, snow mud, etc., may be built up in the vicinity of the sensor area of 
bumper ( P. 397). 
Removing the water, snow, mud, etc., from the vicinity of the sensor area
bumper should return it to normal. 
Also, the sensor may not function normally when used in extremely hot or 
cold weather. 
■ When “Blind Spot Monitor System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer.” is 
shown on the multi-information display 
There may be a sensor malfunction or misaligned. Have the vehicle 
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■Handling the radar sensor 
One Blind Spot Monitor sensor is installed inside the left and right side of 
the vehicle rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the 
Blind Spot Monitor can function correctly. 
If the warning message does not disappear, have the vehicle inspected 
by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- 
able repairer. 
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper to a 
strong impact. 
If a sensor is moved even slightly off position, the system may malfunction 
and vehicles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have your vehicle inspected by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact. 
• If the surrounding area of a sensor  is scratched or dented, or part of 
them has become disconnected. 
● Do not disassemble the sensor. 
● Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on 
the bumper. 
● Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper. 
● Do not paint the rear bumper any color other than an official Toyota color.
●Keep the sensor and its surrounding 
area on the bumper clean at all times. If 
a sensor or its surrounding area on the
rear bumper is dirty or covered with 
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not 
operate and a warning message 
( P. 394) will be displayed.  
In this situation, clear off the dirt or 
snow and drive the vehicle with the
operation conditions of the BSM func- 
tion ( P. 400) satisfied for approxi- 
mately 10 minutes.
