■Safety tips regarding the
BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator/warning buzzer
In the following cases, opera-
tion of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator and the
warning buzzer may be
delayed or the system may
fail to issue these warnings.
• When a vehicle moves to the
neighboring lane from a lane next
to the neighboring lane
• When driving on a steep incline or on repeated sharp uphill and
downhill grades
• When going beyond a pass
• When both your vehicle and a vehicle driving on a neighboring
lane are driving o n the far side of
each lane.
• When several narrowly-spaced vehicles are approaching in a row
• In low radius bends (tight bends or when making turns at an inter-
section)
• When there is a difference in height between your lane and the
neighboring lane
• Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is activated by touching
“BSD/RCTA”
• Immediately after the shift lever is shifted to R
• When extremely heavy cargo is loaded in the trunk
During reversing, operation of the BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator and the warning buzzer
may be delayed or the system
may fail to issue these warn-
ings under the following con-
ditions.
• When backing out of an angled
parking space
• When a large-sized vehicle is parked next to your vehicle (That
vehicle prevents the propagation
of radar waves.)
• When reversing on sloped roads
• When reversing at a high speed
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator may illuminate when
driving close to solid objects
on the road or road side (such
as guardrails, tunnels and
sidewalls).
When turning at an intersec-
tion in urban areas, or a multi-
lane intersection, the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor may flash.
If a building or a wall exists in
the reversing direction, the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor may flash and the warning
buzzer may sound.

To turn the BSD/RCTA system
on and off, operate the
multi-information display
( P.400) or multimedia system
screen (Refer to “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER'S MANUAL”).
When the BSD/RCTA system is
turned OFF, the BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator on the multi-infor-
mation display will illuminate.
●In the following cases, turn off the
BSD/RCTA system. The system
may not operate properly due to
blocked radar waves.
• When towing the vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other item is fitted to the rear of the vehi-
cle
• When using a chassis dynamome-
ter or free rolle r device, etc.
• When running the engine and making the wheels rotate while lift-
ing up the vehicle
●If the engine switch is turned to
OFF, the last known status of the
system is maintained. For exam-
ple, if the engine switch is turned
to OFF with the BSD/RCTA deac-
tivated, the BSD/RCTA remains
deactivated the next time the
engine switch is turned to ON.
The radar sensors, one on each
side of the vehicle, are mounted
inside the rear bumper.
Radar sensors
If the radar sensors require repair or
replacement, or the bumper area
around the radar sensors requires
repair, paintwork or replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer for assis-
tance.

NOTICE
●Always keep the bumper sur-
face near the radar sensors
clean.
●Do not affix any stickers or other
items on the bumper surface
near the radar sensors. For
details, consult your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not modify the bumper near
the radar sensors.
●Do not paint the bumper near
the radar sensors.
●Do not expose the bumper near
the radar sensors to strong
impacts. If a sensor becomes
misaligned, a system malfunc-
tion may occur, including the
inability to detect vehicles enter-
ing the detection areas. If any
strong shock is applied to the
bumper, be sure to contact your
Toyota dealer for inspection.
●Do not disassemble the radar
sensors.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system*
Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is a system designed
to help avoid collisions or
reduce collision damage
when reversing the vehicle.
If a wall or an obstacle is
detected in the reversing
direction, the system will
notify the driver with a
warning sound and may
activate the vehicle’s brakes
automatically.

enforceable request.
●Data that has been modified so
that the user and vehicle cannot
be identified is provided to a
research institution for statistical
processing or similar purposes.
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will operate the
following 2 functions using 4
sonar sensors.
Sonar Audible Alarm
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system detects objects rear-
ward and warns the driver by warn-
ing message on the multimedia
system screen an d warning beeps.
Automatic Braking
The automatic braking detects
objects rearward and if there is a
high risk of a co llision, the system
decelerates the vehicle and con-
trols the braking to reduce damage.
When reversing
When either strong automatic
braking or torque control is
applied to prevent collision (in
WARNING
●Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is not a system intended
to replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to check their surroundings
for vehicles or obstacles to
avoid a collision.
●The driver is responsible for
driving safely. Before reversing,
be sure to first depress the
brake pedal and visually check
the surroundings.
●There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system oper-
ation has limitations. The
warning sound or automatic
braking may be delayed or may
not operate at all even when an
obstacle is present.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when the vehi-
cle is on the free roller or on the
chassis dynamometer. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move and
it may cause an accident.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when towing the
vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle
may move and it may cause an
accident.
●The system is not designed to
detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.
●Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.
