4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era and/or 7-inch/8-inch display
navigation system (when speed
limit information is available) to pro-
vide information to the driver via the
display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing prohibited actions, etc.
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■To avoid operating the speed lim- iter by mistake
Switch the speed limiter off using the speed limiter main switch when not in use.
■Situations unsuitable for speed limiter
Do not use speed limiter in any of the following situations.Doing so may result in loss of control
and could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep hills
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency towing

Summary of function
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
• When a vehicle enters a detection
area traveling at about the same speed as your vehicle• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a
vehicle remains in the detection area • When driving up and down consecu-tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips
in the road, etc. • When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces • When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and the
vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle• When towing a trailer
• When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the vehicle that enters the detection
area • Immediately after the Blind Spot Moni-tor is turned on
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor unnecessarily detecting a vehicle
and/or object may increase in the fol- lowing situations:• When the sensor is misaligned due to
a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area• When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that enters the detection area is short• When driving up and down consecu-
tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or
when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other than the adjacent lanes enters the
detection area • When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces • When the tires are slipping or spinning• When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a following vehicle is short • When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the
vehicle
*: If equipped
■Location and types of sensors
Front corner sensors
Front center sensors
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
■Display
When the sensors detect an object,
such as a wall, a graphic is shown
on the multi-information display or
Toyota parking assist-
sensor*
The distance from your vehicle
to objects, such as a wall,
when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is
measured by the sensors and
communicated via the multi-
information display or naviga-
tion/multimedia system dis-
play (if equipped) and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding
area when using this system.

Driving
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle 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 possibil- ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-sion.
●When driving on a narrow road
●When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier (such as those used at railroad cross-
ings, toll gates and parking lots)
●When there is a rut or hole in the sur-
face of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grat-
ing), 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.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec- tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic waves are near the
vehicle
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If the orientation of a sensor has been
changed due to a collision or other impact
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb
●Driving close to columns (H-shaped steel beams, etc.) in multi-story park-ing garages, construction sites, etc.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

Driving
Toyota parking assist-sensor will be
muted simultaneously.
Mute will be canceled automatically in
the following situations:
●When the shift lever is changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a sen-sor or the system is temporarily
unavailable.
●When the operating function is dis-
abled manually.
●When the engine switch is turned off.
■Conditions under which the system
will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed to detect the following types of vehicles
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 vehi-
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehi- cle
●Vehicles approaching from the park-
ing spaces next to your vehicle*
●The distance between the sensor and approaching vehicle gets too close*: Depending on conditions, detection of
a vehicle and/or object may occur.
■Situations in which the system may
not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect vehi- cles correctly in the following situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc.,
is covering the sensor or surrounding area on the position above the rear bumper
●When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
●When multiple vehicles are approach-ing with only a small gap between each vehicle
●When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with a sharp change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp angle parking spot

and vehicles are being driven on the street
●When the distance between your vehi-cle and metal objects, such as a guardrail, wall, sigh, or parked vehicle,
which may reflect electrical waves toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
