CAMRY_U (01999-06122)■Conditions under which the RCTA function may not function correctly
●The RCTA function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following condi-
tions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When ice or mud etc. is attached to the rear bumper
• During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.
• When multiple vehicles approach continuously
• Shallow angle parking
• When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
• When parking on a steep incline, such as hills, a dip in the road, etc.
• Directly after the RCTA function is turned on
• Directly after the engine is started with the RCTA function on.
• When items such as a bicycle carrier are installed on the rear of the vehi-
cle
●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
The brightness for outside rear view mirror indicator can be changed
on (4.2-inch display) or (7-inch display) (→P. 94, 105) of the
multi-information display.

CAMRY_U (01999-06122)■Situations in which the system may not operate properly

• Pedestrians who are squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• Pedestrians riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing unusual clothing, such as a costume
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hidden by a cart or other object
• Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the following, pedestrians may not be detected
by the Rear Camera Detection function, preventing the function from operat-
ing properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or
scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another
vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground
parking lot
●In some situations, such as the following, the Rear Camera Detection func-
tion may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection
area.
• When a three dimensional object, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle, is detected
• When a moving object, such as a car or motorcycle is detected
• When backing up toward moving objects such as flags or puddles, or air-
borne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow
• When there is a pattern on the road, due to the road being made of cob-
blestone or gravel or having tram rails, traces of repair, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the surface
• When backing up on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for
drainage ditches
• When backing up toward the roadside or a bump in the road
• When an object is reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
• When there are shadows on the road
• When backing up over a bump in the road
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted, such as when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
