■ Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this do es not indicate a
malfunction.
● The front camera is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
● Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the front camera.
● In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms.
● Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front camera.
● The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.
● The contrast of electronic sign is low.
● All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
● The sign is only visible to the front camera for a short amount of time.
● The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
● If a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, but the sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the front camera) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front camera) while traveling on a round about.
● The front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
● The surrounding brightness is not sufficient or changes suddenly.
● When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is recognized.
● The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
● The navigation system map data is outdated. (vehicles with navigation sys-
tem)
● The navigation system is not operating. (vehicles with navigation system)
● The speed information displayed on the meter and on the navigation system
(if equipped) may be different due to the navigation system usi ng map data.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings.
● The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range provides driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are li mitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahe ad:
P. 425
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly: P. 426
● Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
● Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the condi tion
observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always remai n alert,
assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying s olely on this
system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off,
using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.

■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
● The shift lever is in D.
● The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approxi-
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approxima tely 30 km/h
[20 mph].)
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicl e distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set spee d in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
● Pushing the lever up while the vehicle ahead stops will resume follow-up
cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds after
the lever is pushed up.
● If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 seconds after your vehicle stops, fol-
low-up cruising will be resumed.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically cance led in the fol-
lowing situations:
● VSC is activated.
● TRC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● The parking brake is operated.
● The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
● The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically ca nceled for any
reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized rep airer, or any
reliable repairer.

■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, o perate the
brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types o f vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 420) may not be activated.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
● When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
● When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
● Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

■ Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake peda l (or accelera-
tor pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahea d, the system
may not operate properly.
● When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
● When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
a bridge
● While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
accelerates by depressing the accelerator pedal
● When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
● When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the rear bumper on the left and right side
to assist the driver in confirming safety when changing lanes.
Outside rear view mirror indicators
When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors
or approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot, the outsi de rear view
mirror indicator on the detected side will illuminate. If the t urn signal lever
is operated toward the detected side, the outside rear view mir ror indicator
flashes.
BSM OFF indicator
Illuminates when the Blind Spot Monitor is disabled.
: If equipped

■ The outside rear view mirror indicators visibility
When under strong sunlight, the out side rear view mirror indicator may be dif-
ficult to see.
■ When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavailable.” is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
Water, snow mud, etc., may be built up in the vicinity of the s ensor area of
bumper ( P. 450).
Removing the water, snow, mud, etc., from the vicinity of the s ensor area
bumper should return it to normal.
Also, the sensor may not function normally when used in extreme ly hot or
cold weather.
■ When “Blind Spot Monitor System Malfunction. Visit Your Dealer.” is
shown on the multi-information display
There may be a sensor malfunction or misaligned. Have the vehic le
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorize d repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
■ Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 788)
