Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert" system is combined with the "Driver Attention Alert" system.
The system assesses the driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by identifying variations in trajectory compared to the lane markings.To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on the upper part of the windscreen.This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 70 km/h (43 mph)).At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the “Take care!” message, accompanied by an audible signal.After three first-level alerts, the system triggers a further alert with the message "Dangerous driving: take a break", accompanied by a more pronounced audible signal.
WARNI NG
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:– poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the road, falling snow, heavy rain, dense fog, etc.);– dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);– windscreen area located in front of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings not detected);– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
NOTIC E
In certain driving conditions (poor road surface or strong winds), the system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.

Parking sensors
WARNI NG
Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in their field of detection.
180
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system (confirmed by an audible signal).The system is switched off when reverse gear is disengaged.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles which are both within the sensors’ detection zone and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of the steering wheel.
Depending on version, in the example shown, only the obstacles present in the shaded area will be signalled by the audible assistance.The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than about 30 cm (0 ft 11"), the audible signal becomes continuous.The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
NOTIC E
Adjusting the audible signalWith TOYOTA Connect Radio or TOYOTA Connect Nav, pressing this button opens the window for adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible assistance, without taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by displaying bars on the screen that represent the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (white: more distant obstacles, orange: close obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 10 km/h (6 mph).The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
NOTIC E
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or behind.
