*: If equipped
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system records and stores
the following data when automatic
braking operates. It does not record
conversations, personal information
or other audio data.
●Distance from the object
●Vehicle speed
●Accelerator pedal operation status
●Brake pedal operation status
●Shift lever position
●Outside temperature
●The sensitivity setting of the sonar

Toyota and third parties contracted
by Toyota may acquire and use the
recorded data for the purpose of

third party except under the follow-
ing conditions.
●The vehicle owner has given

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.

on a court order or other legally
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.

●The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard brak-
ing when the vehicle’s reversing
speed is less than approximately
3 mph (5 km/h). However, the sys-
tem does not guarantee that the
vehicle will be able to avoid colli-
sions in any situation.
●If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In
this case, automatic braking will
not operate.

detect and apply the brake with
the following objects.
• Sharp or thin objects such as poles, fences and ropes which
may not reflect the sound wave
emitted from the sonar sensor.
• Objects that are t oo close to the
rear bumper when the shift lever is set to R.
• Objects with a su rface which may
not reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor such as a
chain link fence.
●Objects the system is not
designed to detect and apply

• Pedestrians.
• Moving objects including moving vehicles.
• Objects which absorbs sound waves such as cloth or snow.
• Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle.
• Objects that are low to the ground such as parking blocks.
• Objects that are high above the ground such as objects hanging
from above.
• Objects that are out of range of
the center of the vehicle in the
horizontal direction.

After the brake pedal is depressed, the RAB OFF indi-
cator will illuminate and the sys-
tem will temporarily stop
operating. The RAB OFF indica-
tor will turn off when the shift
lever is shifted to a position
other than R.
The system will operate again
the next time the shift lever is

the following situations.
• When 3 seconds pass after the vehicle is stopped
• When any door is opened
• When the RAB warning light is illu-

image from the vehicle. When
the lever is set to other posi-
tions, the image before setting
to R is displayed.

●The image of the rear view cam-
era is horizontally reversed as is
the case with the vehicle inside mirror or the outside mirror.
●When “Rear Camera Delay Con-
trol” is on, the r
ear view image
from the r ear view camera will be
displayed on the multimedia sys-
tem screen for a certain amount of
time after the shift lever is shifted
from R to another position. When
any of the following conditions are
met, the rear view image will be
canceled:
• The shift lever is shifted to P (vehi- cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
• The vehicle speed becomes approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
• The parking brake is engaged
• 9 seconds have elapsed since the shift lever was shifted from R to
another position
To turn the function on and off, refer
to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
●It may be difficult to see the image
of the rear view camera in the fol-
lowing cases. This is not a mal-
function of the camera.
• The vehicle is in a dark place (at night, in a tunnel, etc.).
• The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
• An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera
sticks to the lens of the camera.
• Strong light is shining directly on the camera lens ( occasionally,
there are vertical lines on the
screen).
The area from the rear end of
the bumper can be viewed.
Areas at both ends of the
bumper and areas just under the
bumper cannot be viewed.
NOTICE
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, mal-
function, fire or electric shock
may occur.
●If mud or snow sticks to or is fro-
zen on the camera, you must be
very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the cam-
era may cause a fire or electric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to
remove mud and ice, and wipe
it with a soft, dry cloth.
●Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wirin g. Otherwise,
damage or fire may occur.
●When replacing the fuse, be
sure to use a fuse with the spec-
ified rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
●If you use the rear view camera
for a long time while the engine
is not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.
