■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.
Operating range
Limitations of the detectability of
RCTA
Since the detectability of RCTA is
limited, the RCTA may not operate
properly in angled parking.

The system may detect that a vehicle
is passing in front of your vehicle.
Always be sure to check the
surroundings with your eyes when reversing the vehicle.
■Operating conditions
The BSD/RCTA will operate when
all of the following conditions are
met.
The engine switch is in ON.
The BSD/RCTA warning light
and BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
are turned off.
The vehicle is driven at speeds
above 12 km/h (7 mph) (except
when reversing).
The shift lever is in R. (RCTA
only)
The BSD/RCTA will not operate in
the following situations.
The BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
appears.
The vehicle speed is below 10
km/h (6 mph) even when the
BSD/RCTA OFF indicator does
not appear (except when revers-
ing).
●In the following cases, the BSD/RCTA
will stop operating and the BSD/RCTA warning light will appear.
• When a malfunction occurs in the sys-
tem, including the BSD/RCTA approach indicator
●If the BSD/RCTA warning light appears, exercise proper caution.
( P.232)
●In the following cases, the BSD/RCTA
will temporarily stop operating (or may
stop operating) and the BSD/RCTA

When the headlights are turned on,
the brightness of the BSD/RCTA
approach indi cator will be reduced.
●You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator under
the following conditions.
• When sunlight shines directly on it • When the headlight beams from a
vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
●While the illumination brightness con-
trol dial is in the fully upward position, even if the headlights are turned on,
the brightness of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator will not be reduced. For details about the illumi-
nation brightness control dial, refer to
P. 9 1 .
■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

Driving
• In low radius bends (tight bends or
when making turns at an intersection)
• When there is a difference in height
between your lane and the neighbor-
ing lane
• Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is
activated by touching “BSD/RCTA”
• Immediately after the shift lever is
shifted to R
• When extremely heavy cargo is
loaded in the trunk
During reversing, operation of
the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor and the warning buzzer may
be delayed or the system may
fail to issue these warnings
under the following conditions.
• When backing out of an angled park-
ing space
• When a large-sized vehicle is parked
next to your vehicle (That vehicle pre-
vents the propagation of radar
waves.)
• When reversing on sloped roads
• When reversing at a high speed
The BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor may illuminate when driving
close to solid objects on the road
or road side (such as guardrails,
tunnels and sidewalls).
When turning at an intersection
in urban areas, or a multilane
intersection, the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator may flash.
If a building or a wall exists in the
reversing direction, the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
may flash and the warning
buzzer may sound.
In the following cases, the sys-
tem may detect a vehicle driving
two lanes away from your vehi-
cle.
• When your vehicle drives on the near
side of its lane from the correspond-
ing vehicle
• When the vehicle driving two lanes
away drives on the near side of its
lane from your vehicle
■System temporary stops
This display appears when the sys-
tem is used at extremely high or
low temperatures or when abnor-
mal voltage exists. Once these con-
ditions are correc ted, the system
will recover from the temporary
stop condition and the indicator will
disappear.
If the indicator remains displayed
for a prolonged time, have the sys-
tem inspected at any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

The Sonar Audible Alarm and Automatic
Braking are different in operation condi-
tions. Therefore there are cases in which only one of these functions will
activate.
■After the vehicle is stopped by
the system
After the brake pedal is depressed,
the RAB OFF indicator will illumi-
nate and the syst em will temporar-
ily stop operating. The RAB OFF
indicator will turn off when the shift
lever is shifted to a position other
than R.
The system will operate again the
next time the shift le ver is shifted to
R.
●The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system will be disabled in the
following situations.
• When 3 seconds pass after the vehi- cle is stopped
• When any door is opened
• When the RAB warning light is illumi- nated
• When the RAB OFF indicator is illumi-
nated
●The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system may stop operating temporarily in the following cases and
the RAB OFF indicator will illuminate.
• Ice, snow or mud is adhered to the sonar sensors or the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor
• Objects are too close to the rear bumper when the shift lever is set to R
• The system detects sounds of a simi-
lar frequency to the RAB sonar • When the TRC and VSC mode are
turned off
• When in TRACK mode and the Pre-Collision Braking System has
been turned off
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system can be temporarily
canceled by any of the following
operation.
While the vehicle is stopped by
WA R N I N G
Depress the brake pedal immediately after the system stops the vehicle by
automatic braking. Depending on the
conditions of the road surface and
tires, the vehicle may not remain stopped, possibly leading to an acci-
