*: If equipped
BSD/RCTA consists of the following
functions.
To detect a vehicle in a blind spot
on an adjacent lane or a vehicle
approaching at high speed while
driving the vehicle (Blind Spot
Detection)
To detect a vehicle approaching
from the right or left while revers-
ing the vehicle (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors for
the following features.
The BSD/RCTA radar sensor is approved under the radio wave related
laws of each country. For details, refer to
P.398.
■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 indicator(s) on the out-
side mirror(s).
If the driver operates the turn sig-
nal lever in the direction where
the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor is illuminating, the system
warns the driver of dangers by
flashing the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator.
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 vehicles to the rear
and draw attention to the
driver when changing a lane or
when driving in reverse.
WA R N I N G
The driver is responsible for driving
safely. Always be sure to check the
surroundings with your eyes when changing lanes or reversing the vehi-
cle.
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 acci-
dent and lead to serious injury or death. Since the system operation
has various limitations, the flashing 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 paying attention to the rear and side areas of
the vehicle.

■Lane Change Assist (LCA)
The system notifies the driver of
vehicles approaching at a high
speed in the neighboring lanes.
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in
the neighboring lanes, it warns
the driver of dan gers by illumi-
nating the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator(s) on the outside mir-
ror(s).
If the driver operates the turn sig-
nal lever in the direction where
the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor is illuminati ng, the system
warns the driver of dangers by
flashing the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator.
Operating range
■Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)
The system notifies the driver of
another vehicle approaching from
either side when driving in reverse.
This feature helps the driver check
the rear and side areas of the vehi-
cle when moving backward.
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching from either side while
moving backward, it warns the
driver of dangers in the following
way.
The BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor(s) on the outside mirror(s)
flashes.
A warning buzzer sounds.
An icon appears on the multime-
dia system screen.

• When the radar sensor becomes sig- nificantly misaligned (If the orientation
of the radar sensor is shifted for any
reason, readjustment is required. Have the sensor adjusted at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.)
• When a large amount of snow or ice
sticks to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors
• When the vehicle is driven on a
snow-covered road or in an environ- ment in which there are no objects
around (such as in a desert) for a pro-
longed period of time • When the temperature around the
radar sensors increases excessively
due to long driving on uphill grades in the summer, etc.
• When the temperature around the
radar sensors becomes extremely low • When the vehicle battery voltage low-
ers
• When the vehicle voltage exceeds the battery voltage rating
●The BSD/RCTA will resume operation once these conditions are corrected,
and the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will
disappear. However, if the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator appears for a prolonged
period of time, have the system
inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer as soon as
possible.
●The detectability of the radar sensors
is restricted. The BSD/RCTA detec- tion may be impair ed and the system
may not operate properly under the
following conditions.
• When the rear bumper around the radar sensors is distorted
• When ice, snow or mud adheres to
the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors
• When stickers, etc. are affixed on the
areas of the radar sensors on the rear bumper
• During adverse weather conditions
such as rain, snow or fog
• When driving on wet roads such as
snow-covered roads and through pud- dles
●The radar sensors may not detect or may have difficulty detecting the fol-
lowing vehicles and objects.
• Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri- ans, stationary objects on the road or
road side, etc.
• Vehicles with body shapes that the radar may not reflect (vehicles with
lower body height such as a trailer
with no cargo and sports cars) • Vehicles that are not approaching
your vehicle even though they are in
the detection area (either on a neigh- boring lane to the rear or beside your
vehicle when revers ing) (The system
determines the presence of approach- ing vehicles based on data detected
by the radar sensors.)
• Vehicles traveling at significantly dif- ferent speeds
• Vehicles driving in parallel at almost
the same speed as your vehicle for a prolonged time
• Oncoming vehicles
• Vehicles in a lane beyond the neigh- boring lane
• Vehicles travelling at a significantly
lower speed that you are trying to overtake
●On a road with extremely narrow lanes, the system may detect vehicles
driving in a lane next to the neighbor-
ing lane.

of the BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator and the warning buzzer
may be delayed or the system
may fail to issue these warnings.
• When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
• When driving on a steep incline or on
repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
• When going beyond a pass
• When both your vehicle and a vehicle
driving on a neighboring lane are
driving on the far side of each lane.
• When several narrowly-spaced vehi-
cles are approaching in a row
