■Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
Instances of the RCTA function unnecessary detecting a vehicle and/or object
may increase in the following situations:
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow
●When there are spinning objects near your vehicle such as the fan of an air
conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed a sprinkler
●Moving objects (flags, exhaust fumes, large rain droplets or snowflakes, rain
water on the road surface, etc.) ●When the parking space faces a street
and vehicles are being driven on the
street
●When the distance between your vehicle
and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sigh, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear
of the vehicle, is short
●When a vehicle passes by the side of
your vehicle
●When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle

■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted with the RCTA buzzer volume on the
multi-information display. (P. 112, 128)
■Muting the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by pressing
of the meter control
switches while an object detection display is shown on the multi-information
display.
■If “Rear Camera Detection Unavailable Remove the Dirt of Rear Camera”
is displayed on the multi-information display
A rear camera lens may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such cases, if
it is removed from the rear camera lens, the system should return to normal.
(It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for some time before the system
returns to normal.)
■If “Rear Camera Detection Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
●If this message is displayed after the 12-volt battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, fully turn the steering wheel to the left and then the right
on level ground.
●If this message is displayed only when the R shift position is selected, the
rear camera lens may be dirty. Clean the rear camera lens.

ing properly:

●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak-
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Parking Support Brake system
is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. How-
ever, 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

●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intentionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such
actions.

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 Toyota dealer or commercial towing service,
using a wheel-lift type truck or flatbed 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. 493, 495)
If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flatbed truck.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing 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 eye-
lets, cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit peo-
ple, and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the power switch off. There is a possibility that the steering
wheel is locked and cannot be operated.
Be sure to transport the vehicle with the
front wheels raised or with all four wheels
raised off the ground. If the vehicle is
towed with the front wheels contacting
the ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or electricity gen-
erated by the operation of the motor may
cause a fire to occur depending on the
nature of the damage or malfunction.

4947-2. 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 hybrid system warning message is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display and the vehicle does not move.
●The hybrid system warning light turns on and the vehicle does not
move.
●The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
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 power switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels
straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without 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.
■Recreational towing (behind motor home, etc.)

parking brake and turn the power switch off.
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.
