WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the
windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, result-ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump
may be caused if the lever is pulled toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

■When to disable the pre-colli- sion system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-erly, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the hybrid system on and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-
ter, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed

truck or guardrail • When driving near a TV tower, broad-casting station, electric power plant,
radar equipped vehicles, etc., or other location where strong radio waves or electrical noise may be present
• When there are many things which can reflect the radio waves of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels, truss
bridges, gravel roads, snow covered road that have tracks, etc.)• While making a right/left turn, when an
oncoming vehicle or a crossing pedestrian has already exited the path of your vehicle
• While making a right/left turn, closely in front of an oncoming vehicle or a crossing pedestrian
• While making a right/left turn, when an oncoming vehicle or a crossing pedestrian stops before entering the
path of your vehicle • While making a right/left turn, when an oncoming vehicle turns right/left in
front of your vehicle
• While steering into the direction of
oncoming traffic
■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, an object may not be detected by the radar sensor and front camera,
preventing the system from operating properly:• When a detectable object is
approaching your vehicle • When your vehicle or a detectable object is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving, acceleration or deceleration)
• When your vehicle approaches a
detectable object rapidly • When a detectable object is not directly in front of your vehicle
• When a detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover,
vehicle, steel plate on the road, etc. • When a detectable object is under a structure
• When part of a detectable object is hidden by an object, such as large baggage, an umbrella, or guardrail
• When there are many things which can reflect the radio waves of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels, truss
bridges, gravel roads, snow covered road that have tracks, etc.)• When there is an effect on the radio
waves to the radar that is installed on another vehicle• When multiple detectable objects are
close together • If the sun or other light is shining directly on a detectable object
• When a detectable object is a shade of white and looks extremely bright• When a detectable object appears to
be nearly the same color or brightness as its surroundings• If a detectable object cuts or suddenly
emerges in front of your vehicle • When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.
• When a very bright light ahead, such as the sun or the headlights of oncom-ing traffic, shines directly into the front
camera • When approaching the side or front of a vehicle ahead
• If a vehicle ahead is a motorcycle • If a vehicle ahead is narrow, such as a personal mobility vehicle
• If a preceding vehicle has a small rear

■Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the func- tions may not operate properly and the vehicle may depart from its lane.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to your surroundings and operate the steering wheel to correct
the path of the vehicle without relying solely on the functions.
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.225) and the preceding vehicle changes lanes.
(Your vehicle may follow the pre- ceding vehicle and also change lanes.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.225) and the
preceding vehicle is swaying. (Your vehicle may sway accordingly and depart from the lane.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis-play is displayed ( P.225) and the
preceding vehicle departs from its lane. (Your vehicle may follow the preceding vehicle and depart from
the lane.)

play is displayed ( P.225) and the preceding vehicle is being driven extremely close to the left/right lane
line. (Your vehicle may follow the preceding vehicle and depart from the lane.)
●Vehicle is being driven around a sharp curve.
●Objects or patterns that could be mistaken for white (yellow) lines are
present on the side of the road (guardrails, reflective poles, etc.).

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high- ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or
front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer (vehicles with towing pack-ages) or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

*: 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

■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.
