cle (Blind Spot Detection)
To detect a vehicle approach-
ing from the right or left while
reversing the vehicle (Rear
Cross Traffic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors
for the following features.
The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has
been certified by the radio wave
related laws of the U.S. and other
FCC compliant countries and Can-
ada. When drivi ng in other coun-
tries, certification of the country
where the vehicle is driven must be
obtained. For certif ication in the U.S.
and other FCC comp liant countries
and Canada, refer to P.440.
■Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
The system notifies the driver of
the presence of vehicles in its
blind spot.
If the system detects a vehicle
in its blind spot, it warns the
driver by illuminating the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor(s) on the outside mirror(s).
If the driver operates the turn
signal lever in the direction
where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator is illumi-
nating, the system warns the
BSD/RCTA*
The BSD/RCTA consists of
rear corner radars with
Blind Spot Detection, Lane
Change Assist and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions of
BSD/RCTA are the systems
that detect objects and vehi-
cles to the rear and draw
attention to the driver when
changing a lane or when
driving in reverse.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for driv-
ing safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings with your
eyes when changing lanes or
reversing the vehicle.
The system is designed to assist
the driver in changing lanes or
reversing safely by monitoring the
rear and side areas of the vehicle.
However, you cannot rely on this
system alone in assuring the
safety during a lane change or
reversing. Overconfidence in this
system could result in an accident
and lead to serious injury or
death. Since the system operation
has various limitations, the flash-
ing or illumination of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
may be delayed or it may not
operate at all even when a vehicle
is present in a neighboring lane or
approaching from either side.
The driver is responsible for pay-
ing attention to t he rear and side
areas of the vehicle.

●Do not wipe the camera with alco-
hol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may
occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth
moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent. Then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be care-
ful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with
the camera, moisten a clean cloth
with a diluted neutral detergent to
remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coat-
ing to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehi-
cle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the cam-
era lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens.
The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera
lens may develop vertical lines
around the light source. This is not
a malfunction.
●Under the fluorescent light, the
display may flicker. However, this
is not a malfunction.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era may be slightly different from
the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a mal function on the

UAL”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is
attached to the trunk lid.
When the ignition switch is
in the ON position and the
shift lever is set to R, the
rear view camera automati-
cally displays the rear view
image behind the vehicle on
the multimedia system
screen.
WARNING
●Since the rear view camera
uses a wide-angle lens, the
image on the monitor is different
from the actual view in terms of
distance.
●Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, always
check the rear view and the sur-
rounding area with your eyes
and mirrors, and move back-
ward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the
rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to touch the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.
2504-6. Using other driving systems
When the shift lever is set to R,
the rear view camera automati-
cally displays the rear view
image from the vehicle. When
the lever is set to other posi-
tions, the image before setting
to R is displayed.
1Set the ignition switch to ON.
2 Set the shift lever to R.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era is horizontally reversed as is
the case with the vehicle inside mirror or the outside mirror.
●When “Rear Camera Delay Con-
trol” is on, the r
ear view image
from the r ear view camera will be
displayed on the multimedia sys-
tem screen for a certain amount of
time after the shift lever is shifted
from R to another position. When
any of the following conditions are
met, the rear view image will be
canceled:
• The shift lever is shifted to P (vehi- cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
• The vehicle speed becomes approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
• The parking brake is engaged
• 9 seconds have elapsed since the shift lever was shifted from R to
another position
To turn the function on and off, refer
to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
●It may be difficult to see the image
of the rear view camera in the fol-
lowing cases. This is not a mal-
function of the camera.
• The vehicle is in a dark place (at night, in a tunnel, etc.).
• The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
• An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera
sticks to the lens of the camera.
• Strong light is shining directly on the camera lens ( occasionally,
there are vertical lines on the
screen).
The area from the rear end of
the bumper can be viewed.
Areas at both ends of the
bumper and areas just under the
bumper cannot be viewed.
NOTICE
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, mal-
function, fire or electric shock
may occur.
●If mud or snow sticks to or is fro-
zen on the camera, you must be
very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the cam-
era may cause a fire or electric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to
remove mud and ice, and wipe
it with a soft, dry cloth.
●Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wirin g. Otherwise,
damage or fire may occur.
●When replacing the fuse, be
sure to use a fuse with the spec-
ified rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
●If you use the rear view camera
for a long time while the engine
is not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.
