cator.Operating range
■Lane Change Assist (LCA)
The system notifies the driver of
vehicles approaching at a high
speed in the neighboring lanes.
 If the system detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed
in the neighboring lanes, it
warns the driver of dangers
by illuminating the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator(s) on the
outside mirror(s).
 If the driver operates the turn
signal lever in the direction
where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator is illumi-
nating, the system warns the
driver of dangers by flashing
the BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator. Operating range
■Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)
The system notifies the driver of
another vehicle approaching
from either side when driving in
reverse. This feature helps the
driver check the rear and side
areas of the vehicle when mov-
ing backward.
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching from either side
while moving backward, it warns
the driver of dangers in the fol-
lowing way.
 The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator(s) on the outside
mirror(s) flashes.
 A warning buzzer sounds.
 An icon appears on the multi-
media system screen.

Driving
The vehicle speed is below 6
mph (10 km/h) even when the
BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
does not appear (except
when reversing).
●In the following cases, the
BSD/RCTA will stop operating and
the BSD/RCTA warning light will
appear.
• When a malfunction occurs in the system, including the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator
●If the BSD/RCTA warning light
appears, exercise proper caution.
( P.238)
●In the following cases, the
BSD/RCTA will temporarily stop
operating (or may stop operating)
and the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
will appear.
• When the radar sensor becomes significantly misaligned (If the ori-
entation of the r adar sensor is
shifted for any reason, readjust-
ment is required. Have the sensor
adjusted at a Toyota dealer.)
• When a large amount of snow or ice sticks to the rear bumper sur-
face around the radar sensors
• When the vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road or in an envi-
ronment in which there are no
objects around (such as in a des-
ert) for a prolonged period of time
• When the temperature around the
radar sensors increases exces-
sively due to long driving on uphill
grades in the summer, etc.
• When the temperature around the radar sensors becomes extremely
low
• When the vehicle battery voltage lowers
• When the vehicle voltage exceeds
the battery voltage rating
●The BSD/RCTA will resume oper-
ation once these conditions are
corrected, and the BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator will disappear. How-
ever, if the BSD/RCTA OFF indi- cator appears for a prolonged
period of time, have the system
inspected at a Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
●The detectability o
f the radar sen-
sors is restricted. The BSD/RCTA
detection may be impaired and
the system may not operate prop-
erly under the following condi-
tions.
• When the rear bumper around the
radar sensors is distorted
• When ice, snow or mud adheres to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors
• When stickers, etc . are affixed on
the areas of the radar sensors on
the rear bumper
• During adverse weather condi- tions such as ra in, snow or fog
• When driving on wet roads such as snow-covered roads and
through puddles
●The radar sensors may not detect
or may have difficulty detecting
the following vehicles and objects.
• Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, stationary objects on
the road or ro ad side, etc.
• Vehicles with body shapes that the radar may not reflect (vehicles
with lower body height such as a
trailer with no cargo and sports
cars)
• Vehicles that are not approaching
your vehicle even though they are
in the detection area (either on a
neighboring lane to the rear or
beside your vehicle when revers-
ing) (The system determines the
presence of approaching vehicles
based on data detected by the
radar sensors.)
• Vehicles traveling at significantly
different speeds
• Vehicles driving in parallel at almost the same speed as your
vehicle for a prolonged time
• Oncoming vehicles
• Vehicles in a lane beyond the neighboring lane
• Vehicles travelling at a signifi- cantly lower speed that you are

trying to overtake
●On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect
vehicles driving in a lane next to
the neighboring lane.
While the BSD/RCTA is active,
the following item(s) will operate
to alert the driver:
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator (when there are
vehicles in the neighboring
lanes).
 The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator and warning buzzer
(when a vehicle is approach-
ing from the left or right side
while your vehicle is revers-
ing)
■BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator
It is mounted on each side of the
outside mirrors.
The indicator will illuminate
when a vehicle approaching
from behind is detected.
The indicator will flash to warn
the driver of dangers under the
following conditions.
 While the indicator is illumi-
nating, if the turn signal lever
is operated toward the side in
which this indicator turned on
 When reversing the vehicle

BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor dimming function
When the headlights are turned
on, the brightness of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
will be reduced.
●You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
under the following conditions.
• When sunlight shi nes directly on it
• When the headlight beams from a vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
●While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward
position, even if the headlights are
turned on, the brightness of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator will
not be reduced. For details about
the illumination bri ghtness control
dial, refer to P.91.
■BSD/RCTA approach warn-
ing buzzer (only when
reversing)

■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.

2384-6. Using other driving systems
In the following cases, the
system may detect a vehicle
driving two lanes away from
your vehicle.
• When your vehicle drives on the
near side of its l ane from the cor-
responding vehicle
• When the vehicle driving two lanes away drives on the near
side of its lane fr om your vehicle
■System temporary stops
This display appears when the
system is used at extremely
high or low temperatures or
when abnormal voltage exists.
Once these conditions are cor-
rected, the system will recover
from the temporary stop condi-
tion and the indicator will disap-
pear.
If the indicator remains dis-
played for a prolonged time,
have the system inspected at a
Toyota dealer.

due to reduced radar sensi-
tivity
This display appears when the
detectability of the radar sen-
sors is reduced. Once the condi-
tion is corrected, the system will
recover from the temporary stop
condition and the indicator will
disappear.
If the indicator remains dis-
played for a prolonged time,
have the system inspected at a
Toyota dealer.

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.

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.
