the driver is not securely holding
the steering wheel, or the steering
wheel is not being operated when
the steering assist operation of the

is operating
The length of time that the warning
buzzer operates will become longer

attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering wheel
as necessary to ensure safety.

PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.188) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully.( P.189)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.

ing assist off

WARNING
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the distance
between the driver’s own vehicle
and a designated preceding vehi-
cle is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type
of judgement. Therefore, it is
absolutely necessary for the
driver to remain vigilant and to
determine whether or not there is
a possibility of danger.
●Details of support provided for
the driver’s operation
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which
will prevent or avoid collisions
with vehicles ahead of your vehi-
cle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of da nger, the driver
must take immediate and direct
control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure
safety.
■Situations in which the
dynamic radar cruise control
should not be used
Do not use the dynamic radar
cruise control in the following situ-
ations. As the s ystem will not be
able to provide appropriate con-
trol, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.

expressway entrance or exit

●When the “+RES” switch is
pressed while the vehicle is
stopped by system control, if the
preceding vehicle starts off within
approximately 3 seconds, fol-

the vehicle being stopped by sys-
tem control, follo w-up cruising will

■Automatic cancellation of vehi-

mode
In the following situations, vehi-
cle-to-vehicle dista nce control mode
will be canceled automatically:
●When the brake control or output

port system operates
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been
operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by
system control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are
detected while the vehicle is
stopped by system control:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfas- tened
• The driver’s door is opened
• Approximately 3 minutes have elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped
The parking brake may be actived
automatically.

■Preceding vehicles that the sen-
sor may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depend-
ing on the conditions, if the system
cannot provide sufficient decelera-
tion or acceleration is necessary,
operate the brake pedal or accelera-
tor pedal.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect th ese types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning
( P.199) may not operate.
●When a vehicle cuts in front of
your vehicle or changes lanes
away from your vehicle extremely
slowly or quickly
●When changing lanes
●When a preceding vehicle is driv-

●When a vehicle is stopped in the
same lane as the vehicle
●When a motorcycle is traveling in
the same lane as the vehicle
■Conditions under which the
system may not operate cor-
rectly
In the following situations, operate
the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation)
as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect a vehicle, the sys-
tem may not operate properly.

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-

WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attent ion to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely so lely upon the
RSA. The RSA assists the
driver by providing road sign
information, but it is not a
replacement for the driver’s own
vision and awareness. Driving
safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe
driving.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear
view mirrors or is approaching
rapidly from behind into a blind
spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As
the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off
the dirt or snow and drive the
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the BSM function
( P.212) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach accessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sen- sor is scratched or dented, or
part of them h as become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear
bumper.
●If a sensor or the rear bumper
needs to be removed/installed
or replaced, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper
any color other t han an official
Toyota color.
