sor, RCTA, and RCD all
together.
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.

●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

■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●Some pedestrians, such as the
following, may not be detected by
the rear camera detection func-
tion, preventing the function from
operating properly:
• Pedestrians who are bending for- ward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skate- board, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long
skirt, etc., making their silhouette
obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is par- tially hidden by an object, such as
a cart or umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the
following, pedestrians may not be
detected by the rear camera
detection function, preventing the
function from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is
obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are
attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of
another vehicle, shines directly
into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness
changes suddenly, such as at the
entrance or exi t of a garage or
underground parking lot
• When backing up in a dim envi-
ronment such as during dusk or in
an underground parking lot
• When the camera position and
direction are deviated
• When a towing hook is attached
• When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens
• When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up,
nose down).
• When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
• When the rear washer is operating
• If the suspension has been modi- fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed.
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate or rear
fog light, is insta lled near the rear
camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an
additional trim strip, is installed to
the rear bumper
■Situations in which the system
may operate unexpectedly
●Even though there are no pedes-
trians in the detection area, some
objects, such as the following,
may be detected, possibly caus-
ing the rear cam era detection
function to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle
• Objects moving to ward your vehi-
cle when backing up, such as
flags or puddles (or airborne mat-
ter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or
snow)
• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repai rs, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen

■If the Parking Support Brake
has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parki ng Support Brake,
the Parking Suppor t Brake will be
disabled and the driving assist infor- mation indicator will illuminate. If the
Parking Support Brake operates
unnecessarily, brake control can be
canceled by depre
ssing the brake
pedal or waiting for approximately 2
seconds for it to automatically be
canceled. Then, the vehicle can be
operated by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Sup-
port Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support
Brake when it has been disabled
due to operation of the Parking Sup-
port Brake, either enable the system
again ( P.333), or turn the power
switch off and then back to ON.
Additionally, if a ny of the following
conditions are m et, the system will
be re-enabled automatically and the
driving assist inf ormation indicator
will turn off:
●The P shift position is selected
●The object is no longer detected in
the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle
●The traveling direction of the vehi-
cle changes*
*
: Except when the pedestrian rear of the vehicle operated.
■Intuitive parkin g assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whethe r the intuitive
parking assist-s ensor buzzer is
enabled or not, if the PKSB (Parking
Support Brake) system is enabled,
the front or rear s ensors detect a
static object and brake control is
performed, the intuitive parking
assist-sensor bu zzer will sound to
notify the driver o f the approximate
distance to the object.
■If a 12-volt battery terminal has
been disconnected and recon-
nected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the
vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds
or more at a speed of approximately

3365-4. Using the driving support systems

*: If equipped
This function will operate in situ-
ations such as the following if an
object is detected in the travel-
ing direction of the vehicle.
Static Objects Front
and Rear of the Vehi-
cle
*
If the sensors detect a static
object, such as a wall, in the
traveling direction of the
vehicle and the system
determines that a collision
may occur due to the vehi-
cle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental
accelerator pedal operation,
the vehicle moving the
unintended direction due to
the wrong shift position
being selected, or while
parking or traveling at low
speeds, the system will
operate to lessen the impact
with the detected static
object and reduce the
resulting damage.
