WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
There is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is always
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’ surroundings and
driving safely.
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●Do not damage the sensors,
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install
an electronic component, such
as a backlit license plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender pole or wireless
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding
area of the sensor to a strong
impact. If subjected to an
impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer. If the fr ont or rear
bumper needs to be
emoved/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate
cover.
●Keep your tires properly
inflated.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable
the function as it may operate
even though there is no possibility
of a collision.
●Failing to observe the warnings
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.

2884-5. Using the driving support systems
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of other vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpen-
dicular to the gr ound, not perpen-
dicular to the v ehicle traveling
direction, uneven, or waving are in
the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing.
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
●When an object that cannot be
detected is betw een the vehicle
and a detected object.
●If an object such as a vehicle,
motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
cuts in front of the vehicle or runs
out from the side of the vehicle.
●If the orientation of a sensor has
been changed due t o a collision or
other impact.
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow.
●If the front of the v ehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning.
●When a tire chains, compact
spare tire or an emergency tire
puncture repair kit is used.
■Situations in which the system
may operate even if there is no
possibility of a collision
In some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the system may operate
even though there is no possibility of
a collision.
●When driving on a narrow road.
●When driving towa rd a banner,
flag, low-hanging branch or boom
barrier (such as those used at rail-
road crossings, toll gates and
parking lots).
●When there is a ru t or hole in the
surface of the road.
●When driving on a metal cover
(grating), such as those used for
drainage ditches.
●When driving up or down a steep
slope.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount
of water, such as when driving on
a flooded road.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or
ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the
sensors will resolve this problem.)

■Cautions regarding the use of
the function
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-

approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

Example:
■The RCTA function is opera-
tional when
The RCTA function operates when
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●The engine swit ch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift lever is in R.
●The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8
km/h) and 18 mph (28 km/h).
■Conditions under which the
system will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed
to detect the following types of vehi-
cles and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking space next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot
detect due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked
vehicles and similar stationary
objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your
vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the
parking spaces nex
t to your vehi-
cle
*
●The distance between the sensor
and approaching vehicle gets too
close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a v ehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following
situations:
