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, the emergency flashers
(hazard lights) will flash to warn
other drivers of the emergency.

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.

■The RCTA function is opera-
tional when
The RCTA function operates when
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift lever is in R.
●The vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8
km/h) and 34 mph (56 km/h).
■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted
on the multi-information display.
The volume of the RCTA buzzer can
be adjusted on (4.2-inch dis-
play) or (7-inch display) of the
multi-information display. ( P.442)
■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,

●When backing up on a slope with
a sharp change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp
angle parking spot
●Immediately after the RCTA func-
tion is turned on
●Immediately after the hybrid sys-
tem is started with the RCTA func-
tion on
●When the sensors cannot detect a
vehicle due to obstructions
●When towing a trailer
●When there is a significant differ-
ence in height between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle that enters the
detection area
●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 vehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load
●When turning while backing up
●When a vehicle tu rns into the
detection area
■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 distance 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 trouble arises
■Parking brake indicator
■Brake hold operated indicator
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not
be heard due to being in a noisy
location or audio sound.
■Front passenger detection sen-
sor, seat belt reminder and
warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front
passenger seat, the front passen-
ger detection sensor may cause
the warning light to flash and the
warning buzzer to sound even if a
passenger is not sitting in the
seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat,
the sensor may n ot detect a pas-
senger, and the warning light may
not operate properly.
■Operation of rear passengers’
seat belt re minder lights
●The rear passengers’ seat belt
reminder lights will illuminate for
approximately 60 seconds after
either rear door has been opened

and then unfastened, the corre-
sponding light for that seat will illu-
minate continuously . If either rear
door is opened and closed while a
rear passengers’ seat belt light is
illuminated, it will tu rn off approxi-
mately 60 seconds after the door
is closed.
