While the direction indicators are on and for a few seconds after switching them off, the system considers that any change of trajectory is voluntary and no correction is triggered during this period.
WARNI NG
If the system detects that the driver is not holding the wheel firmly enough during an automatic correction of trajectory, it interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered to encourage the driver to take back control of the vehicle.
Driving situations and related alerts
The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.These alerts are not displayed sequentially.

Lane marking detection.Speed above 65 km/h (40 mph).
ON



(orange)/(green)
The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).
ON




(orange)/(green)"Hold the wheel"
– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system detects that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to the driver.– If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they must provide additional trajectory adjustment.The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.This message may also be displayed if you have your hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in the following cases:– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
– speed below 65 km/h (40 mph) or greater than 180 km/h (112 mph),– electrical connection of a trailer,– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected (as detection is not immediate, deactivation of the system is recommended),
– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the brake or accelerator pedal,– driving where there are no lane markings,– activation of the direction indicators,– crossing the inside line on a bend,– driving in a tight corner,

– inactivity by the driver detected during correction.
NOTIC E
During a correction, if the driver is inactive (not holding the steering wheel for 10 seconds), a warning message appears.If the driver remains inactive (not holding the steering wheel for 2 more seconds), the
correction is interrupted.
WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– insufficient contrast between the road surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),– running close to the vehicle in front (the lane markings may not be detected),– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the following driving situations:
– driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery (ice) road surfaces,– unfavourable weather conditions,– driving on a speed circuit,
– driving on a rolling road.
Deactivation / Activation


► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the system at any time. Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of the indicator lamp in the button and this warning lamp in the instrument panel.The system is automatically reactivated every time the ignition is switched on.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, these warning lamps come on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and an audible signal.Have the system checked by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
Blind Spot Monitoring
System
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system includes sensors, placed on the sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of the potentially dangerous presence of another vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field of vision).

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question:– fixed, immediately, when being overtaken;

140
– flashing, after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when the direction indicator is used.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
NOTIC E
The system state remains in memory when the ignition is switched off.
NOTIC E
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by TOYOTA.
Conditions for operation
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction and in adjacent lanes.– The speed of your vehicle must be between 12 and 140 km/h (7 and 87 mph).– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 10 km/h (6 mph).– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 25 km/h (16 mph).– Traffic is flowing normally.– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in the blind spot.
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan, etc.
Operating limits


No alert is triggered in the following conditions:– In the presence of non-moving objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).– Oncoming traffic.– Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner.– When overtaking or being overtaken by a very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected in the rear blind spot but is also present in the driver’s front field of vision.– When overtaking quickly.– In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object.

Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
NOTIC E
The system may suffer temporary interference
in certain weather conditions (rain, hail, etc.).In particular, driving on a wet surface or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper correct operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door mirror on the side in question, a correction of trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a lane marking with the direction indicators on, to help you avoid a collision.This system is the combination of the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System.These two functions must be activated and in operation.The speed of the vehicle must be between 65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph) inclusive.These functions are especially suitable for driving on motorways and main roads.For more information on the Active Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding sections.
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least every 2 hours.Depending on version, the function consists of just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this combined with the "Driver Attention Warning" system.
WARNI NG
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.The state of the system stays in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

142
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects that the driver has not taken a break after two hours of driving at a speed above 65 km/h (40 mph).This alert is issued via the display of a message encouraging you to take a break, accompanied by an audible signal.If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.The system resets itself if one of the following conditions is met:– engine running, the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes,– the ignition has been switched off for a few minutes,– the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their door is opened.
NOTIC E
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 65 km/h (40 mph), the system goes into standby.The driving time is counted again once the speed is above 65 km/h (40 mph).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert" system is combined with the "Driver Attention Warning" system.

Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen, the system assesses the driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by identifying variations in trajectory compared to the lane markings.This system is particularly suited to fast roads (speed higher than 65 km/h (40 mph)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the “Take care!” message, accompanied by an audible signal.After three first-level alerts, the system triggers a further alert with the message "Dangerous driving: take a break", accompanied by a more pronounced audible signal.
WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the road, falling snow, heavy rain, dense fog, etc.);– dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);– windscreen area located in front of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected);– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
NOTIC E
In certain driving conditions (poor road surface or strong winds), the system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.

WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected),– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Using sensors located in the bumper, this system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.The system is switched off when disengaging reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles which are both within the sensors’ detection zone and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of the steering wheel.

Depending on version, in the example shown, only the obstacles present in the shaded area will be signalled by the audible assistance.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about 30 cm (0 ft 11"), the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
NOTIC E
Adjusting the audible signalWith TOYOTA Connect Radio or TOYOTA Connect Nav, pressing this button opens the window for adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

It supplements the audible assistance, without taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by displaying bars on the screen that represent the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (white: more distant obstacles, orange: close obstacles, red: very close obstacles).

144
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 10 km/h (6 mph).The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTIC E
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or behind.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system records the position of fixed obstacles during the manoeuvre and signals them when they are located by the sides of the vehicle.
WARNI NG
Only fixed obstacles are signalled correctly. Moving obstacles detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre may be signalled mistakenly, while moving obstacles which appear at the sides of the vehicle and which were not previously recorded will not be signalled.
WARNI NG
The objects memorised during the manoeuvre will no longer be stored after switching off the ignition.
