Adjustment procedureWARNING
■When adjusting the seat posi-
tion
●Take care when adjusting the 
seat position to ensure that 
other passengers are not 
injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the 
seat or near the moving parts to 
avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become 
jammed in the seat mechanism.
●Make sure to leave enough 
space around the feet so they 
do not get stuck.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under 
the lap belt during a collision, do 
not recline the se at more than 
necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap 
belt may slide past the hips and 
apply restraint for ces directly to 
the abdomen, or your neck may 
contact the shoulder belt, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious 
injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made 
while driving as the seat may 
unexpectedly move and cause 
the driver to lose control of the 
vehicle.

sway) increases as speed 
increases. Exceeding speed 
limits may cause loss of con-
trol.
 Before starting out, check the 
trailer lights, tires and the 
vehicle-trailer connections. 
Recheck after driving a short 
distance.
 Practice turning, stopping and 
reversing with the trailer 
attached in an area away 
from traffic until you become 
accustomed to the feel of the 
vehicle-trailer combination.
 Reversing with a trailer 
attached is difficult and 
requires practice. Grip the 
bottom of the steering wheel 
and move your hand to the 
left to move the trailer to the 
left. Move your hand to the 
right to move the trailer to the 
right. (This is generally oppo-
site to reversing without a 
trailer attached.) Avoid sharp 
or prolonged turning. Have 
someone guide you when 
reversing to reduce the risk of 
an accident.
 As stopping distance is 
increased when towing a 
trailer, vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance should be increased. 
For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of 
speed, allow at least one 
vehicle and trailer length.
 Avoid sudden braking as you 
may skid, resulting in the  trailer jackknifing and a loss of 
vehicle control. This is espe-
cially true on wet or slippery 
surfaces.
 Avoid jerky starts or sudden 
acceleration.
 Avoid jerky steering and 
sharp turns, and slow down 
before making a turn.
 Note that when making a turn, 
the trailer wheels will be 
closer than the vehicle wheels 
to the inside of the turn. Com-
pensate by making a wider 
than normal turning radius.
 Slow down before making a 
turn, in crosswinds, on wet or 
slippery surfaces, etc. 
Increasing vehicle speed can 
destabilize the trailer.
 Take care when passing other 
vehicles. Passing requires 
considerable distance. After 
passing a vehicle, do not for-
get the length of your trailer, 
and be sure you have plenty 
of room before changing 
lanes.
 Instability happens more fre-
quently when descending 
steep or long downhill grades. 
Before descending, slow 
down and downshift. Do not 
make sudden downshifts 
while descending steep or 
long downhill grades.
 Avoid holding the brake pedal 
down too long or applying the

■Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)
Auto Trailer Detection (ATD) detects 
if a trailer is atta ched by using the 
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the 
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.
●Trailers that use TBC can be 
detected by using the 7-pin trailer 
brake connectors.
●Other types of trailers can be 
detected using the BSM sensors.
●When a trailer is detected via BSM 
or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-
abled.
●As soon as the trailer is detected, 
the detection area will be 
extended to a maximum length of 
approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from 
the rear bumper of the truck.
●If the trailer does  not have a 7-pin 
connector, or the 7-pin connector 
is not engaged, the trailer is 
detected via the  BSM sensor. In 
this case PKSB and  Intuitive park-
ing assist functio ns will not be dis-
abled.
●For trailer auto d etection without 
engagement of 7-pin connector, 
the vehicle should be moving for-
ward at speed of above 0.6 mph 
(1 km/h) for at l east 10 seconds.
●ATD function is triggered at every 
power switch on/of f cycle or if the 
vehicle is stopped in shift the shift 
lever is in P or N for more than 90 
seconds.
●Trailer detection vis BSM sensors 
may be delayed if the vehicle is in 
a crowded environment such as 
• If the surroundin
g area of a sen-
sor is scratched or dented, or 
part of them has become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear 
bumper.
●If a sensor or th e rear bumper 
needs to be removed/installed 
or replaced, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper 
any color other than an official

with trees (camping ground) or in

immediate environment that pre-

■Trailer Length Detection (TLD)
●Once a trailer is detected and if 
the trailer length in the meter is 
selected as “Auto”, the TLD func-
tion will estimate the
 trailer length 
using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-
sors. In order to estimate
 the trailer length 
with TLD function and detection 
area, make at least two 90 degree 
turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-
ally via multi-information display 
input, the detection area is also 
adjusted to exceed the length of the 
trailer.
●Depending on some trailer types 
and the dimensions of the trailer 
TMW performance may be 
degraded.
■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the dri ver of 
the presence of such vehicles v ia the indicators on the outside rear 
view mirrors.
 When not towing a trailer
Vehicles approaching in adjacen t lanes that may not be visible

*2: The outer mirror indicator warning may be delayed. The delay i ncreases 
in proportion to the speed differential with vehicles approaching in the 
adjacent lane.
*3: The system does not support trailers wider than 8.5 ft. (2.59  m) and/or 
longer than 39 ft. (12.0 m). For box trailers and certain other  trailer types 
that are up to 8.5 ft. (2.59 m)  wide and/or 39 ft. (12.0 m) lon g, the indica-
tor warning in t he outer mirror may be de layed if the vehicle in the adja-
cent lane overtakes your vehicle at a high-speed differential.
■The Blind Spot Monitor is oper-
ational when
The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-
tional when all of the following con-
ditions are met:
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift position is in a position 
other than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than 
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will 
detect a veh icle when
The Blind Spot Mon itor will detect a 
vehicle present in the detection area 
in the followin g situations:
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-
takes your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in an adja-
cent lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detec-
tion area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the 
system will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not 
designed to detect the following 
types of vehicles and/or objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, 
pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite 
direction
