mation display will illuminate.
●In the following cases, turn off the
BSD/RCTA system. The system
may not operate properly due to
blocked radar waves.
• When towing the vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other item is fitted to the rear of the vehi-
cle
• When using a chassis dynamome-
ter or free rolle r device, etc.
• When running the engine and making the wheels rotate while lift-

The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will operate the
following 2 functions using 4
sonar sensors.
Sonar Audible Alarm
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system detects objects rear-
ward and warns the driver by warn-
ing message on the multimedia
system screen an d warning beeps.
Automatic Braking
The automatic braking detects
objects rearward and if there is a
high risk of a co llision, the system
decelerates the vehicle and con-
trols the braking to reduce damage.
When reversing

WARNING
●Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is not a system intended
to replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to check their surroundings
for vehicles or obstacles to
avoid a collision.
●The driver is responsible for
driving safely. Before reversing,
be sure to first depress the
brake pedal and visually check
the surroundings.
●There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system oper-
ation has limitations. The
warning sound or automatic
braking may be delayed or may
not operate at all even when an
obstacle is present.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when the vehi-
cle is on the free roller or on the
chassis dynamometer. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move and
it may cause an accident.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when towing the
vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle
may move and it may cause an
accident.
●The system is not designed to
detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.
●Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.

●Conventional Cruise Control
enables you to maintain a con-
stant vehicle speed without hold-
ing your foot on the accelerator
pedal and it is operative when the
vehicle speed is 20 mph (30 km/h)
or more.
●Make sure the Conventional

Conventional Cruise
Control (vehicles with-
out the EyeSight)
Conventional Cruise Con-
trol is a driving support sys-
tem intended to allow more
comfortable driving on
expressways, freeways and
interstate highways. It can
be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining
the vehicle speed set by the
driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed
posted speed limits.
WARNING
●Do not use the Conventional
Cruise Control under any of the
following conditions. These may
cause loss of vehicle control.
• In heavy traffic
• On roads with sharp bends
• On winding roads
• On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or
snow
• On steep hills
• Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when d riving down a
steep hill.
• During emergency towing
●When using the Conventional
Cruise Control, always set the
speed appropriately according
to the speed limit, traffic flow,
road conditions, and other con-
ditions.

When trouble arises
7-2.Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle needs
to be towed
If towing is necessary, we
recommend having your
vehicle towed by your Toy-
ota dealer or commercial
towing service, using a
wheel-lift type truck or flat-
bed truck.
Use a safety chain system
for all towing, and abide by
all state/provincial and local
laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck from
the front, the vehicle's rear
wheels and axles must be in
good conditions. ( P.342)
If they are damaged, use a
towing dolly or flatbed
truck.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transp ort the vehicle
with all four wheels raised off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed
with the tires co ntacting the
ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or an acci-
dent may occur due to a change
in direction of the vehicle.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on
the towing eyelets, cables or
chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become
damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious dam-
age.
●Do not turn the engine switch
off.
There is a possibility that the
steering wheel is locked and
cannot be operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to
the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing
eyelets may come loose during
towing.
3427-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a
problem with your transmission.
Contact your Toyota dealer or
commercial towing service
before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnor-
mal sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
From the rear
WARNING
■After towing
Make sure to remove the towing
eyelet.
If not removed, the SRS airbags
may not deploy correctly if the
vehicle is involved in a frontal col-
lision, or the fuel pump shutoff
system may not operate correctly
if involved in a rear collision.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle when towing using a
wheel-lift type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear when the engine switch is
off. The steering lock mecha-
nism is not strong enough to
hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle,
ensure adequate ground clear-
ance for towing at the opposite
end of the raised vehicle. With-
out adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while
being towed.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle when towing with a
sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck,
either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle during emergency
towing
Do not secure cables or chains to
the suspension components.
■When towing down a long
slope
Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed
truck.
If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck
is not used, the brakes may over-
heat, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.

essary to contact dealers

When trouble arises
Use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire
strapping belts. Refer to the
owner’s manual of the flat-bed
truck for the tire strapping
method.
In order to suppress vehicle
movement during transporta-
tion, set the parking brake and
turn the engine switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using
cables or chains secured to the
emergency towing eyelets. This
should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most
19 miles (30 km) at under 18
mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train,
axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.
For vehicles with an automatic
transmission, only the front tow-
ing eyelets may be used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eye-
let must be installed to your
vehicle. Install the towing eyelet
using the following procedure.
1
Take out the wheel nut
wrench, flathead screwdriver
and towing eyelet. ( P.359)
2 Remove the eyelet cover
using a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the b odywork, place a
rag between the screwdriver and
the vehicle body as shown in the
