Driving
■Situations in which the system
may operate even if there is no
possibility of a collision
Instances of the RCTA function
unnecessary detec ting a vehicle
and/or object may increase in the
following situations:
●When the parking space faces a
street and vehicles are being
driven on the street
●When the distanc e between your
vehicle and metal objects, such as
a guardrail, wall, sign, or parked
vehicle, which may reflect electri-
cal waves toward the rear of the
vehicle, is short
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additi onal trim strip,
etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When a vehicle passes by the
side of your vehicle
●When a detected vehicle turns while approaching the vehicle
●When there are spinning objects
near your vehicle such as the fan
of an air conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or
sprayed toward the rear bumper,
such as from a sprinkler
●Moving objects (f
lags, exhaust
fumes, large rain droplets or
snowflakes, rain water on the road
surface, etc.)
●When the distance between your
vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc.,
that enters the detection area is
short
●Gratings and gutters
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●If the front of the v ehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load

*: Automatic buzzer mute function is enabled. ( P.264)
■Buzzer operation and
approximate distance to
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 continu-
ously.
 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.
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)
■Adjusting the buzzer vol-
ume
The buzzer volume can be
adjusted on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The buzzer volume of the intui-
tive parking assist and RCTA (if
equipped) can be adjusted all
together on of the multi-information display.
(
P.449)
■Muting a buzzer
When an object is detected, the
temporary mute switch is dis-
played on the audio system
screen.
Select the switch to mute the
buzzer of the intuitive parking
assist and RCTA (if equipped)
all together.
Mute will be canceled automati-
cally in the following situations:
 When the shift lever 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 engine switch is
turned off.

■The system will operate when
The function will op erate when the
driving assist information indicator is
not illuminated or flashing ( P.74,
397) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• Vehicles which are approaching
from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle at a traveling speed of
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The PKSB (Parking Support Brake) determines that a stronger
than normal brake operation is
necessary to avoid a collision with
an approaching vehicle.
●Brake control
• Engine output restri ction control is
operating.
• The PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) determines that an emer-
gency brake operation is neces-
sary to avoid a c ollision with an
approaching vehicle.
■The system will stop operating
when
The function will st op operating if
any of the following conditions are
met:
●Engine output restriction control
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching
from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle.
●Brake control
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is disabled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped by brake control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by
brake control.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching
from the right or le ft at the rear of
the vehicle.
■Detection range
The detection are a of the system
differs from the detection area of the
RCTA function ( P.250). Therefore,
even if the RCTA function detects a
vehicle and provid es an alert, the
PKSB (Parking Support Brake) sys-
tem may not start operating.

Maintenance and care
■Bumpers and side moldings (if
equipped)
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neu-
tral detergent and water to clean
the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of
the engine compartment. Doing
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
■Precautions regarding the
exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the
exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be
careful not to touch the pipe until it
has cooled sufficiently, as touch-
ing a hot exhaust pipe can cause
burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear
bumper
If the paint of the rear bumper is
chipped or scratched, the follow-
ing systems may not function cor-
rectly. If this occurs, consult your
Toyota dealer.

num wheels, etc.)
●Wash the vehicle immediately in
the following cases:
• After driving nea r the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on

WARNING
●Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire
with a standard tire as soon as
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire
is attached
The vehicle speed may not be
correctly detecte d, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC
• TRAC
• Automatic High Beam
• AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• EPS
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Tire pressure warning system
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
• RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) function (if equipped)
• SEA (Safe Exit Assist) (if equipped)
• Rear view monitor system
Also, not only c an the following
system not be utilized fully, but it

■Speed limit when using the
compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess
of 50 mph (80 km /h) when a com-
pact spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not
designed for driving at high
speeds. Failure to observe this
precaution may lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, ma ke sure all the
tools and jack are securely in
place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal
injury during a collision or sudden
braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over
bumps with the compact
spare tire installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when
driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with
standard tires. Be careful when
driving over uneven road sur-
faces.
■Driving with tire chains and
the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the com-
pact spare tire. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and
adversely affect d riving perfor-
mance.
