cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control
and returns vehicle speed to
the set speed.
However, cruise control does not
resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or
less.
When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi- cient automatic deceleration via
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the
driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front
of you while you are following a
vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

*: If equippedWhen the front camera recog-
nizes a sign, the sign will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
 When the driving support sys-
tem information is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be
displayed. ( P.86)
 When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation is selected, only a rec-
ognized speed limit sign or do
not enter sign (when notifica-
tion is necessary) will be dis-
played. ( P.86)
If signs other than speed limit signs
are recognized, they will be dis-
played in an overlapping stack
under the current speed limit sign.
RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using
the front camera to provide
information to the driver via
the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over
the speed limit, performing
prohibited actions, etc. in
relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the
driver using a warning dis-
play and warning buzzer.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA
system. RSA is a system which
supports the driver by providing
information, but it is not a replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.
Indication on the
multi-information display

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA_U
The following types of road
signs, including electronic signs
and blinking signs, are recog-
nized.
A non-official or a recently intro-
duced traffic sign may not be recog-
nized.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will alert the driver.
When the vehicle speed
exceeds the speed warning
threshold of the speed limit
sign displayed, the sign dis-
play will be emphasized and a
buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recog-
nizes a do not enter sign and
determines that your vehicle
has entered a no-entry area, the displayed sign will flash
and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, traf-
fic environment (traffic direction,
speed unit) may be detected
incorrectly and a warning dis-
play may not operate properly.
■Setting procedure
1 Press or of the meter
control switches and select
2 Press or of the meter

right turn, etc.
In the following situations, do not
enter, stop and yield signs will stop
being displayed automatically:
●The system determines that your
vehicle has passed the sign.
●The road changes due to a left or
right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the func-
tion may not operate or detect
correctly
In the following situations, RSA
does not operate normally and may
not recognize signs, display the
incorrect sign, etc. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned
due to a strong impact being

ally, the sensors may not operate
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. A lways drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or is approaching rapidly
from behind into a blind spot. Do
not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. As the function cannot
judge if it is safe to change lanes,
over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.

installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message ( P.236) will
be displayed. In this situation,
clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation con-
ditions of the BSM function
(  P.240) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by

WARNING
■When using the rear view
monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing up.
When backing up, be sure to visu-
ally check all around the vehicle
both directly and using the mirrors
before proceeding. Observe the
following precautions to avoid an
accident that could result in death
or serious injuries.
●Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ
from the actual state. Use cau-
tion, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly,
depressing the brake pedal to
control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only
guide lines. When and how
much to turn the steering wheel
will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before
using the rear view monitor sys-
tem.
●When parking, be sure to check
that the parking space will
accommodate your vehicle
before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view moni-
tor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the trunk is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the fixed guide lines
displayed on the screen may
change.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.243)
NOTICE
■How to use the camera
●The rear view monitor system
may not operate properly in the
following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
