The RCTA functions when your vehicle is in reverse. It can detect
other vehicles approaching from the right or left rear of the v ehicle. It
uses radar sensors to alert the driver of the other vehicle’s existence
through flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and so unding
a buzzer.
■RCTA icon displa y (if equipped)
When a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear o f the
vehicle is detected, the following will be displayed on the aud io sys-
tem screen.

■Conditions under which the RCTA function may not function corre ctly
● 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 se nsor 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 on the r oad, etc.
• Directly after the RCTA function is turned on
• Directly after the hybrid system is started with the RCTA func tion 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 vehicl e 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 of the indicators on the outside rear view mirro rs and
the volume of the RCTA buzzer can be changed on (4.2-inch dis-
play) or (7-inch display) ( P. 113, 129) of the multi-information
display.
• Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect because of obstacles
• When the parking space faces a street and vehicles are being driven
on the street

: 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 displays and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding ar ea when using this system.

■Muting the buzzer sound
●To mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by pressing of the meter c on-
trol switches while an obstacle detection display is shown on t he multi-infor-
mation display.
● To cancel the mute
Mute will be automatically cancelled in the following situation s.
• When the shift position is changed
• When the vehicle speed has reached or exceeded approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) with the shift lever in D
• When the intuitive parking assist is turned off once and turned on again
• When the power switch is turned off once and turned to ON mode again
• When a sensor is malfunctioning

●Front corner sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Front center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:

■ Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Toyota parking assist monitor or pan-
oramic view monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appea r in the upper
part of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the d etection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the buzze r sounds.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ If “Parking Assist Unavailable Please Clean Parking Assist Sens or” is
displayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such case s, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a mal function dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sens or thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ Certification
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB-001 du Canada.
WARNING
■ When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be d riven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● 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 t he brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

WARNING
■Sensors
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctl y detect an obstacle. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors w ill resolve
this problem.)
● The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this probl em.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen ma y show an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.
● The sensor is covered in any way.
● The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on gra ss.
● The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, moto rcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises pro ducing ultra-
sonic waves.
● There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors i n the vicin-
ity.
● The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● The sensor is drenched with water on a flooded road.
● The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
● Towing eyelets are installed.
● The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
● The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
● The detection range is reduced due to an object such as a sign.
● In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
● The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
● If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is i nstalled.
● A backlit license plate is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which , because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
