■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.

tion)

Mute will be canceled automati-
cally in the following 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
temporarily unavailable.
When the operating function
is disabled manually.
When the power switch is
turned off. The object warning function
informs the driver of the exis-
tence of objects along the side
of the vehicle, using a display
and buzzer, if the objects are
within the estimated path of the
vehicle.
Object
Calculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras ca n
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected obje ct can
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the obje ct
warning function will operate.

are not detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are out side of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.
■Object warning function operat-
ing conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the EV system is
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been
selected, the vehicle has moved
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed
and the panoramic view monitor
screen is displayed.
●The front or rear s ensor detects a
stationary object.
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until th e vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors or side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side
cameras, but then leaves the
detection area of the side sensors
or side cameras, the system will
assume the object has not moved.
WARNING
■Side sensors and side cam-
eras
In situations such as the following,
the function may not operate cor-
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Proceed carefully.
●When starting off shortly after
the power switch is turned to
ON and a small vehicle or other
object which cannot be detected
by a front side sensor is next to
the vehicle.
In the situation s hown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on
the left will not be detected and
the object warni ng function will
not operate.
●When an object or person is in a
position which cannot be
detected by the side sensors or
side cameras.
●When, after the side sensors
have completed scanning the
areas along the sides of the
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or
other object approaches the
side of the vehicle and cannot
be detected.

Example:
■The RCTA function is opera-
tional when
The RCTA functio n operates when
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift position is in R.
●The vehicle spe ed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8

■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
