Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill,  the set vehicle 
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle 
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes  are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The 
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the 
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If 
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle 
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower 
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then 
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off: If a preceding vehi cle stops, the vehicle will also stop 
(controlled stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing 
the “RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resum e 
follow-up cruising (start off operation). If a start off operat ion is not 
performed, the controlled stop will continue.

Driving
formed within a certain amount 
of time, the system will enter 
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, 
a buzzer will sound in short 
intervals and a message will be 
displayed to warn the driver, and 
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such 
as holding the steering wheel, 
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system 
will determine that the driver is 
not responsive and enter the 
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted 
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerating, 
the brake lights may illuminate, 
depending on the road conditions, 
etc.
After entering the deceleration 
stop phase, a buzzer will sound 
continuously and a message will 
be displayed to warn the driver, 
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle 
stops, the system will enter the 
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the 
parking brake will be applied  automatically. After entering the 
stop and hold phase, the buzzer 
will continue sounding continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to 
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.

Driving
■The system can be operated 
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is 
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than 
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is 
selected.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are 
limited to the areas around the 
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur 
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the  object and other factors, the 
detection distance may shorten, or 
detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if  static objects draw too close to the 
sensor.
• There will be a short delay  between static object detection 
and display (warning buzzer 
sounds). Even at low speeds, 
there is a possibility that the object 
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm) 
before the display is shown and 
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be diffic ult to hear the 
buzzer due to the volume of the 
audio system or air flow noise of 
the air conditioning system.
• It may be diffi cult to hear the 
sound of this sys tem due to the 
buzzers of other systems.
WARNING
●Do not damage the sensors, 
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install 
an electronic component, such 
as a backlit license plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog 
lights, fender pole or wireless 
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding 
area of the sensor to a strong 
impact. If subjected to an 
impact, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer. If the fr ont or rear 
bumper needs to be 
removed/installed or replaced, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or 
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate 
cover.
●Keep your tires properly 
inflated.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable 
the function as  it may operate 
even though there is no possibility 
of a collision.
●Failing to observe the warnings 
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.) 
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of 
water or steam to the sensor 
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor 
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure 
washer to wash the vehicle, do 
not spray the sensors directly, 
as doing so may cause a sensor 
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the 
vehicle, do not direct steam too 
close to the sensors as doing so 
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.

Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_enintuitive 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.
■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
