●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact
■ If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates unnecessar ily such
as at a railroad crossing
Even in the event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad crossing, brake control will be canceled
after approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the
area, Brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brak e pedal.
Depressing the accelerator pedal again will allow you to procee d forward and
leave the area.
■ Situations in which the Intell igent Clearance Sonar Brake funct ion may
not operate properly
In some situations such as the following, this function may not operate prop-
erly.
● Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system
will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sands torm
● Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
• When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing

3304-5. Using the driving support systems
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices
which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wir eless antenna
is installed near a sensor
● Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact
■ If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconne cted
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more
at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■ If “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display and
the ICS OFF indicator is flashing
● A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow,
dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a war ning mes-
sage may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object.
Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message continues to be displayed even after cleaning the sensor, or
is displayed even though the sensor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
● Initialization may not have been performed after a 12-volt batt ery terminal
was disconnected and reconnected. Initialize the system. (P. 330)

WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an ac cident.
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak-
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearanc e Sonar
system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions.
However, it may not operate in some situations.
● The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the ve hicle, it is
necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake contr ol will be
canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
■ To ensure the Intelligent Clearan ce Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 322). Failure
to do so may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may ca use an
accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong imp act.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors ( P. 300).
Failure to do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate proper ly, and may
cause an accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a stro ng impact.
● Do not damage the radar sensors, and always keep the radar sens ors and
their surrounding area on the bumper clean.
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli nation of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause
the system to not operate or operate unnecessarily.

■Re-enabling the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function
To re-enable the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function when it is disabled
while it is operating, either enable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
again ( P. 322), or turn the power switch off and then back to ON mode.
When the function is disabled, the ICS OFF indicator will illum inate. (P. 99)
If there is no longer a vehicle approaching from the right or l eft at the rear of
the vehicle when backing up, or if the traveling direction of the vehicle
changes (such as changing from backing up to moving forward), t he system
will be re-enabled automatically. When the function is re-enabl ed, the ICS
OFF indicator will turn off.
■ Conditions under which the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function will
not detect a vehicle
The Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function is not designed to d etect the fol-
lowing 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 stationar y objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehic le
*
*
: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or obj ect may
occur.
■ RCTA function buzzer
Regardless of whether the RCTA function is enabled or not ( P. 298), if the
Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function is enabled and brake con trol is per-
formed, a buzzer will sound to notify the driver. ● Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions
● Vehicles which suddenly accelerate or
decelerate near your vehicle

3384-5. Using the driving support systems
■Situations in which the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function may not
operate properly
In some situations such as the following, this function may not operate prop-
erly.
● Objects and vehicles which the radar sensors are not designed t o detect
• Stationary objects
• Vehicles which are moving away from your vehicle
• Pedestrians, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.
*
• Objects which are extremely close to a radar sensor
• Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the r ear of the
vehicle at a traveling speed of less than approximately 5 mph ( 8 km/h)
• Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the r ear of the
vehicle at a traveling speed of more than approximately 15 mph (24 km/h)
*: Depending on conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
● Situations in which the radar sensors may not be able to detect an object
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
• If the rear bumper is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• If heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• When the detection area of a radar sensor is obstructed by an adjacent
vehicle
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such a s a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wir eless antenna
is installed near a radar sensor
• If the orientation of a radar sensor has been changed due to a collision or
other impact or removal and installation
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between each vehicle
• When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
● Situations in which the radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
• When a vehicle approaches from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle
while you are turning while backing
up
• When turning while backing up
