NOTICE
●Under the conditions listed below, it
will become more difficult for the
system to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians
and obstacles on the road, and lane
markers. Also, EyeSight may tem- porarily stop operating. However,
the temporary stop will be canceled
once these conditions have
improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of time.
• Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In par- ticular, the system is more likely to
temporarily stop operating when
there is an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has
been applied, or poorly performing
wipers are used.
• Strong light is coming from the front
(sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming traffic, etc.).
• The windshield washer is in use.
• Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on
the windshield are not wiped off suf- ficiently.
• The windshield has become fogged, scratched or smeared, or
snow, dirt ,dust or frost has adhered
to it, or it is otherwise affected. These will reduce the stereo cam-
era’s field of view. Also, light is
reflecting off the dirt, etc.
• The vehicle is tilted at an extreme
angle due to loaded cargo or other factors.
• Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind,
or the front vision is obscured due
to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in
front or oncoming traffic.
• The stereo camera’s field of view is
obstructed.
• Through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• The rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for
example a low bed trailer, etc.).
• The obstacle is a fence, a wall or a
shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern
(a striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front.
• The obstacle is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front.
• Driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does
not have its taillights on
• Driving through a banner or flag,
low branches on a tree or thick/tall
vegetation
• On steep uphill or downhill grades
• The stereo camera is obstructed by
a hand, etc. (If even one of the
lenses is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
• It is completely dark and no objects are detected.
• The area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when com-
pletely covered in snow, etc.).
• Accurate detection is not possible
due to reflections in the windshield.
●Under the conditions listed below,
EyeSight may temporarily stop
operating. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the
conditions improve.
• The temperature inside the vehicle
is high, such as after the vehicle was left in bright sunshine, or the
temperature inside the vehicle is
low, such as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environ-
ment.
• Immediately after the engine starts

NOTICE
●The stereo camera lenses are pre-
cision components. Always observe
the following precautions espe- cially when handling them.
• Never touch the stereo camera
lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or clean the lenses. Doing so could
damage or soil the lens, and lead to
improper system performance. If
you ever touch a lens for any rea- son, be sure to contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer capable of EyeSight ser-
vice. Replacement and service
works of EyeSight components will be necessary.
• When cleaning the windshield, cover the front of the camera casing
with paper that does not collect
dust, such as copy paper. Affix the paper to prevent glass cleaner from
getting on the camera lenses. At
this point, make sure that the tape’s adhesive surface does not come in
contact with the windshield or the
lens. Be sure to remove the paper after cleaning.
• When having the inside of wind- shield cleaned at a service station,
etc., be sure to request that the
attendant covers the camera covers before washing the vehicle.
• Do not subject the stereo camera to a strong impact.
• Do not remove or disassemble the stereo camera.
• Do not change the positions where the stereo camera is installed or
modify any of the surrounding
structures.
●In case of replacement or repair, to
continue to use EyeSight function- ality, do not install an interior rear-
view mirror other than a genuine
Toyota interior rearview mirror or a third party interior rearview mirror
that matches the size (and contour)
of genuine Toyota interior rearview mirrors. A wider interior rearview
mirror can affect the stereo cam-
era’s field of view and EyeSight functionality may not operate prop-
erly. Toyota and Toyota dealer(s)
are not liable for any damage that may be caused by the use of parts
other than genuine Toyota parts.

●Do not install any accessories other than the ones designated by Toyota
on the prohibited areas shown in
the illustrations (grey zones). Even if some accessories are
installed on the outside of the pro-
hibited areas, abnormal operation of EyeSight may occur due to the
reflection of the light or any objects.
In this situation, move the accesso- ries. For details, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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.

■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.

■BSD/RCTA approach warning
buzzer (only when reversing)
A warning buzzer sounds along
with flashing of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator to warn the
driver of dangers. The setting of the
warning buzzer volume can be
changed by operating the multime-
dia system screen. ( P.377)
■Safety tips regarding the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor/warning buzzer
In the following cases, operation
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

●Do not wipe the camera with alcohol,
benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discolora tion 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 careful 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 coating to help prevent scratches. However,
when washing the vehicle or cleaning
the camera lens, be careful not to
scratch the camera 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 mal-
function.
●The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a malfunction on the multi-media system screen, refer to “Multi-
media owner’s manual”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is attached
to the trunk lid. When the
engine switch is in ON and the
shift lever is set to R, the rear
view camera automatically dis-
plays the rear view image
behind the vehicle on the mul-
timedia system screen.
WA R N I N G
●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 surrounding area with your eyes and mirrors, and
move backward 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 cam-
era immediately.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer 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 condensation, mal-
function, fire or electric shock.
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction, fire or electric shock may occur.
