●In the following cases, turn off the BSD/RCTA system. The system may
not operate properly due to blocked
radar waves. • When towing the vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other item is
fitted to the rear of the vehicle • When using a chassis dynamometer
or free roller device, etc.
• When running the engine and making the wheels rotate while lifting up the
vehicle
●If the engine switch is turned to OFF,
the last known status of the system is
maintained. For example, if the engine switch is turned to OFF with the
BSD/RCTA deactivated, the
BSD/RCTA remains deactivated the next time the engine switch is turned
to ON.
The radar sensors, one on each
side of the vehicle, are mounted
inside the rear bumper.
Radar sensors
If the radar sensors require repair or replacement, or the bumper area around
the radar sensors requires repair, paint-
work or replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for assistance.
Handling of radar sensors
NOTICE
To ensure correct operation of the
BSD/RCTA, observe the following
precautions.
●Always keep the bumper surface
near the radar sensors clean.
●Do not affix any stickers or other
items on the bumper surface near
the radar sensors. For details, con- sult any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
●Do not modify the bumper near the
radar sensors.
●Do not paint the bumper near the
radar sensors.
●Do not expose the bumper near the
radar sensors to strong impacts. If a sensor becomes misaligned, a sys-
tem malfunction ma y occur, includ-
ing the inability to detect vehicles entering the detection areas. If any
strong shock is applied to the
bumper, be sure to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable

The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will operate the fol-
lowing 2 functions using 4 sonar
sensors.
Sonar Audible Alarm
The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system detects objec ts rearward and
warns the driver by warning message
on the multimedia system screen and
warning beeps.
Automatic Braking
The automatic braking detects objects
rearward and if there is a high risk of a
collision, the system decelerates the
vehicle and controls the braking to
reduce damage.
When reversing
When either strong automatic
braking or torque control is
applied to prevent collision (in
this case, short warning beeps or
continuous warning beeps will
sound)

●Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
is not a system intended to replace
the driver’s responsibility to check
their surroundings for vehicles or obstacles to avoid a collision.
●The driver is responsible for driving safely. Before revers ing, be sure to
first depress the brake pedal and
visually check the surroundings.
●There are some cases in which the
vehicle cannot avoid collision, because the system operation has
limitations. The warning sound or
automatic braking may be delayed or may not operate at all even when
an obstacle is present.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when the vehicle is
on the free roller or on the chassis dynamometer. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle may move and it may cause an
accident.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when towing the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move and it may cause an accident.
●The system is not designed to
detect people (including children),
animals or other moving objects.
●Depending on the vehicle condition
or the surrounding environment, the sonar sensor’s ability to detect
objects may become unstable.

• There is damage to the sonar sensors or the rear bumper near the sonar
sensor.
• The rear bumper is exposed to strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed.
●On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
●The system is designed to avoid colli-
sions by automatic hard braking when
the vehicle’s reversing speed is less than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
However, the system does not guar-
antee that the vehicle will be able to avoid collisions in any situation.
●If the vehicle is reversed at an extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper- ate.
●The system may not be able to detect and apply the brake with the following
objects.
• Sharp or thin objects such as poles, fences and ropes which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor. • Objects that are too close to the rear
bumper when the shift lever is set to
R. • Objects with a surface which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor such as a chain link
fence.
●Objects the system is not designed to
detect and apply brake. • Pedestrians.
• Moving objects including moving vehi-
cles. • Objects which absorbs sound waves
such as cloth or snow.
• Objects whose surface has a diagonal
angle. • Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks.
• Objects that are high above the ground such as objects hanging from
above.
• Objects that are out of range of the center of the vehicle in the horizontal
direction.
• Objects that are not in a vertical direc- tion.
• Objects which are not perpendicular
to the ground. • Objects which are not directly in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
• Objects which are uneven or wavy.
●When reversing the vehicle, the func-
tions may not be able to work properly or may cause a system malfunction if
the following conditions exist.
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby:
• Horn sound from another vehicle. • Engine sound from other vehicles.
• Sound of an air brake.
• Vehicle detection equipment or a sonar from another vehicle.
• A sound wave with a frequency similar
to the vehicle’s system is transmitted near by.
• A vehicle equipped with the same sys-
tem is reversing toward your reversing direction.
●Weather conditions:• Extremely high or extremely low tem-
peratures in which the area near the
sonar sensor becomes too hot or too cold to operate.
• The sonar sensors or the rear bumper
near the sonar sensors are exposed to heavy rain or a significant amount
of water.
• Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
• Air is moving rapidly such as when a strong wind is blowing.
