■Operation of the RCTA func-
tion
The RCTA function uses radar sen-
sors to detect vehicles approaching
from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle and alerts the driver of
the presence of such vehicles by
flashing the outside rear view mirror
indicators and sounding a buzzer.

The buzzer can alert for faster vehi-
cles approaching from farther away.
Example:
■The RCTA function is operational when
The RCTA function operates when all of the following conditions are met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift position is in R.
●The vehicle speed is less than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph).
●The approaching vehicle speed is between approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) and 56 km/h (34 mph).
■Adjusting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information display.
The volume of the RCTA buzzer can be
adjust on of the multi-information
display. ( P.340)
■Muting a buzzer temporarily
When an object is detected, the tempo-
rary mute switch is displayed on the
multimedia display system.
Select to mute a buzzer of the
Toyota parking assist-sensor, RCTA and
RCD all together.
Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations:
●When the shift position is changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a sen-sor or the system is temporarily unavailable.

■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect vehi-
cles correctly in the following situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned due to
a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc.,is covering the sensor or surrounding area on the position above the rear
bumper
●When driving on a road surface that is
wet with standing water during bad weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
●When multiple vehicles are approach-ing with only a small gap between
each vehicle
●When a vehicle is approaching at high
speed
●When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,
or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with a
sharp change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp angle parking spot
●Immediately after the RCTA function is turned on
●Immediately after the EV system is started with the RCTA function on
●When the sensors cannot detect a vehicle due to obstructions
●When towing a trailer
●When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the vehicle that enters the detection
area
●When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the suspension has been modified
or tires of a size other than specified are installed

*: If equipped
RCD (Rear Camera
Detection)*
When the vehicle is backing
up, the rear camera detection
function can detect pedestri-
ans in the detection area
behind the vehicle. If a pedes-
trian is detected, a buzzer will
sound and an icon will be dis-
played on the multimedia dis-
play to inform the driver of the
pedestrian.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The recognition and control capabili- ties for this system are limited.
The driver should always drive safely
by always being responsible without over relying on the system and have a understanding of the surrounding situ-
ations.
■To ensure the system can oper-
ate properly
Observe the following, otherwise there is the danger that could lead to
an accident.
●Always clean the camera without
damaging it.
●Do not install market electronic
parts (such as Illuminated license plate, fog lamps, etc.) in the camera vicinity.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the 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.
●It is extremely dangerous to check
the system operations by intention- ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never
attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup- port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
■Precautions for the suspension
Do not modify the suspension of the vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehi-cle is changed, the sensors may not
be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate cor-rectly, possibly leading to an accident.

The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-infor-
mation display. All of the Parking
Support Brake functions (static
objects front and rear of the vehicle,
moving vehicles rear of the vehicle,
pedestrians rear of the vehicle and
static objects around the vehicle)
are enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches to
enable/disable the parking support
brake. ( P.176)
1 Press or to select .
2 Press or to select “
PKSB” and then press .
When the Parking Support Brake is dis- abled, the driving assist information
indicator ( P.169) illuminates.
To re-enable the system when it was
disabled, select on the multi-infor-
mation display, select “ PKSB” and
then On. If disabled using this method,
the system will not be re-enabled by
turning the power switch off and then to
ON.
If the EV system output restriction con-
trol or brake control operates, a buzzer
will sound and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display
and multimedia system screen, to alert
the driver.
Depending on the situation, EV system
output restriction control will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict out-
put as much as possible.

■If the Parking Support Brake has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-ing Support Brake will be disabled and
the driving assist information indicator will illuminate. If the Parking Support Brake operates unnecessarily, brake
control can be canceled by depressing the brake pedal or waiting for approxi-mately 2 seconds for it to automatically
be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be operated by depressing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support
Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake when it has been disabled due to opera-
tion of the Parking Support Brake, either
enable the system again ( P.354), or turn the power switch off and then back to ON.
Additionally, if any of the following condi- tions are met, the system will be re-enabled automatically and the driving
assist information indicator will turn off:
●The P shift position is selected
●The object is no longer detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle
●The traveling direction of the vehicle
changes*
*: Except when the Pedestrian Rear of
the Vehicle operated.
■Toyota parking assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park- ing assist-sensor buzzer is enabled or
not, if the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is enabled, the front or rear sensors detect a static object and
brake control is performed, the Toyota parking assist-sensor buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate
distance to the object.
■If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and recon-nected
The system needs to be initialized. To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at
a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or more.
