■Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying within
a lane, the warning buzzer will
sound and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.
■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the
lane centering function does not oper-
ate.
In situations where the white (yellow)
lane lines are difficult to see or are not
visible, such as when in a traffic jam,
this function will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring the
position of the preceding vehicle.

cally restored. ( P.226)
●If the operation conditions (P.226) are no longer met while the lane cen-
tering function is operating, the steer- ing wheel may vibrate and the buzzer may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled. However, if the alert types customiza-tion setting is set to steering wheel
vibration, the system will notify the driver by vibrating the steering wheel instead of sounding the buzzer.
■Steering assist function/lane cen-
tering function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, lane
departure situation, road conditions, etc., the driver may not feel the func-tion is operating or the function may
not operate at all.
●The steering control of the function is
overridden by the driver’s steering wheel operation.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the steering assist function.
■Lane departure alert function
●The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio play-back, etc. Also, it may be difficult to
feel steering wheel vibrations due to the road conditions, etc.
●If the edge of the course* is not clear
or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.
●Vehicle with BSM: It may not be possi-
ble for the system to determine if there is a danger of a collision with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the lane departure alert function.*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning message urging the driver to hold the steering wheel and the symbol shown in
the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display to warn the driver. The warning stops when the sys-tem determines that the driver holds the
steering wheel. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when using this system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that the driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the system is operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and
the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
●When the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from the lane while driving around a curve while the
lane centering function is operating.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than
during straight-lane driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.

authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not
operate properly when (if equipped)
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly in conditions in which RSA may not operate or detect correctly
( P.247), when using this function, make sure to check the speed limit sign displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed may not be changed to the recognized speed limit by pressing and holding the
“+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail-
able
●When the recognized speed limit is
the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is
outside of the speed range that the dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver of the need for cau-tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis- play, read the message and follow the instructions. ( P.207, 383)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend- ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning ( P.237) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the
surrounding vehicles hinders the detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage compartment, etc.)

●A sign resembling a system compati-
ble sign is recognized.
●Side road speed signs may be
detected and displayed (if positioned in sight of the front camera) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if
positioned in sight of the front camera) while traveling on a roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not suf-ficient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks, etc., is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.

●The 7-inch/8-inch display navigation system is not operating.
●The speed information displayed on the meter and on the 7-inch/8-inch display navigation system may be dif-
ferent due to the 7-inch/8-inch display navigation system using map data.
■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned off
while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi-information display, the same sign displays again when the
power switch is turned to ON.
■If “RSA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is shown
The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. (Customizable features: P.431)

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

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
