RCTA (Rear Crossing
Traffic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sensors
installed behind the rear
bumper. This function is
intended to assist the driver in
checking areas that are not
easily visible when backing
up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-ing care to observe your surround-
ings.
The RCTA function is only a supple- mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. As the RCTA function may
not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting death or serious injury.

The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-infor-
mation display. All of the Parking
Support Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehicles)
are enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches to

WARNING
■Limitations of the Parking Sup- port Brake system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the vehi- cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors
and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro-
vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi- cator is on
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the engine switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your sur-
roundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before the system returns to
normal. (If the system does not return to normal after driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surround-
ing area on the bumpers.)

request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or
pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle
pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-
ally higher than normal (→P.86, 90)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment
or repair.

vals.
●When the engine is new, for example
directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing (vehicles with towing packages), or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through heavy traffic

inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be taken to avoid pro-longed and repeated contact. To
remove used engine oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil- ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground.
Call any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, service station
or auto parts store for information concerning recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine dam-age
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
■When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
●Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
●Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.

The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir when the engine is
cold.
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line,
add coolant up to the “F” line. ( →P.405)
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool-
ant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 35°C [-31°F])
For more details about coolant, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a
short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain
cock and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser clear
away any foreign objects. If either
of the above parts is extremely dirty
or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, have your vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
Checking the coolant
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap.
The cooling system may be under
pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor
straight antifreeze. The correct mix- ture of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication,
corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
