BSD/RCTA warning light
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.

If the Reverse Automatic Brak-
ing (RAB) system malfunctions,

est Toyota dealer for details.
The 4 sonar sensors are located
in the rear bumper. To ensure
the proper operation of the
Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system, observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
Do not affix any stickers or
other items on the sonar sen-
sor or the bumper surface
near the sonar sensors.
Always keep the sonar sensor and the rear bumper surface
near the sonar sensors clean.
Do not modify rear bumper.
Do not paint the bumper near
the sonar sensors.
Do not apply high pressure
water to the sonar sensors
with a high pressure
car-washing machine.
Do not apply strong impacts
to the rear bumper near the
sonar sensors. If a sensor
becomes misaligned, a sys-
tem malfunction may occur,
including inability to detect
objects in the reversing direc-
tion. If any strong impact is
applied to the rear bumper,
contact a Toyota dealer to
have the system inspected.
Do not disassemble the sonar
sensors.
If the sonar sensors require repair or
replacement, or if the area of the
rear bumper near the sonar sensors
requires repair, paintwork or
replacement, contact your Toyota
dealer for assistance.

●Do not wipe the camera with alco-
hol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may
occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth
moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent. Then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be care-
ful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with
the camera, moisten a clean cloth
with a diluted neutral detergent to
remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coat-
ing to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehi-
cle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the cam-
era lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens.
The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical lines
around the light source. This is not
a malfunction.
●Under the fluore
scent light, the
display may flicker. However, this
is not a malfunction.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era may be slightly different from
the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a mal function on the
multimedia system screen, refer to
“MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is
attached to the trunk lid.
When the engine switch is
in ON and the shift lever is
set to R, the rear view cam-
era automatically displays
the rear view image behind
the vehicle on the multime-
dia system screen.
WARNING
●Since the rear view camera
uses a wide-angle lens, the
image on the monitor is different
from the actual view in terms of
distance.
●Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, always
check the rear view and the sur-
rounding area with your eyes
and mirrors, and move back-
ward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the
rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to touch the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.

●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: The shift lever is in D or
M (when starting off forward on
while facing uphill) or in R (when
starting off backward while facing
downhill).
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: The shift lever is in a position
other than R (when starting off for-
ward while facing uphill) or in R
(when starting off backward while
facing downhill).

●If the braking po wer of hill-start
assist control is insufficient,
depress the brake pedal.
●While the vehicle is stopped,
make sure to depress the brake

In the following si tuations, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●The slip indicat or is illuminated.
●The hill-start assist control ON
indicator turns off and a buzzer

WARNING
■Hill-start assist control pre-
cautions
●Do not overly rely on hill-start
assist control. Hill-start assist
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake,
hill-start assist control is not
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary for an extended period
of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold
the vehicle on an incline, as
doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
●Do not stop the engine while
hill-start assist control is operat-
ing, as hill-start assist control
will stop operating, possibly
leading to an accident.
