*: Automatic buzzer mute function is enabled. ( P.319)
■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
 The buzzer beeps faster as
the vehicle approaches an
object.
When the vehicle comes
within approximately 1.0 ft.
(30 cm) of the object, the
buzzer sounds continuously.
 When 2 or more sensors
simultaneously detect a static
object, the buzzer sounds for
the nearest object.
 Even when the sensors are
operating, the buzzer will be
muted in some situations.
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)
■Adjusting the buzzer vol-
ume
The buzzer volume can be
adjusted on the multi-informa- tion display.
Use the meter control switches
to change settings. (

■Muting a buzzer temporarily
When an object is detected, the
temporary mute switch is displayed
on the multimedia display system.
Select to mute a buzzer of the
intuitive parking assist-sensor,
RCTA and RCD all together.
Mute will be canceled automatically
in the followin g situations:
●When the shift position is
changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds
a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a
sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.
●When the operating function is
disabled manually.
●When the power 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 vehi-
cles 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
vehicles and similar stationary
objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.
*
●Vehicles moving away from your
vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the
parking spaces nex
t to your vehi-
cle
*
●The distance between the sensor
and approaching vehicle gets too
close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a v ehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following
situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned
due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker,
etc.,is covering the sensor or sur-
rounding 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
approaching 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 pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle car rier, or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with
a sharp change in grade

RCD (Rear Camera
Detection)*
When the vehicle is backing
up, the rear camera detec-
tion function can detect
pedestrians in the detec-
tion area behind the vehicle.
If a pedestrian is detected, a
buzzer will sound and an
icon will be displayed on
the multimedia display to
inform the driver of the
pedestrian.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The recognition and control capa-
bilities for this system are limited.
The driver shoul d always drive
safely by always being responsi-
ble without over relying on the
system and have a understanding
of the surrounding situations.
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Observe the follo wing, otherwise
there is the danger that could lead
to an accident.
●Always clean the camera with-
out damaging it.
●Do not install market electronic
parts (such as Illuminated
license plate, fog lamps, etc.) in
the camera vicinity.
●Do not subject the camera vicin-
ity to strong impacts. If the vicin-
ity is subjected to a strong
impact, have the vehicle
inspected at a Toyota dealer.
●Do not disassemble, remodel or
paint the camera.
●Do not attach accessories or
stickers to the camera.
●Do not install market protection
parts (bumper tr im, etc.) to the
rear bumper.
●Maintain suitable tire air pres-
sure.
●Make sure the back door is
completely closed.
■RCD function i s turned off
In the following situations the sys-
tem turns off. The RCD function
may not operate properly and
thus there is the danger that an
accident may occur.
●The contents mentioned above
are not observed
●Suspensions other than Toyota
genuine parts are installed

If the EV system output restriction
control or brake control operates, a
buzzer will sound and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and multimedia sys-
tem screen, to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, EV
system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration
or restrict output as much as possi-
ble.

■If the Parking Support Brake
has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parki ng Support Brake,
the Parking Suppor t Brake will be
disabled and the driving assist infor- mation indicator will illuminate. If the
Parking Support Brake operates
unnecessarily, brake control can be
canceled by depre

pedal or waiting for approximately 2
seconds for it to automatically be
canceled. Then, the vehicle can be
operated by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal.

port Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support
Brake when it has been disabled
due to operation of the Parking Sup-
port Brake, either enable the system
again ( P.333), or turn the power
switch off and then back to ON.
Additionally, if a ny of the following
conditions are m et, the system will
be re-enabled automatically and the
driving assist inf ormation indicator
