■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an 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 objects are
detected simultaneously, the
buzzer sounds for the nearest
object. If one or more objects
come within approximately
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the vehicle,
the buzzer will repeat a long

Outside rear view mirror indi-
cators
If a vehicle is detected as
approaching from the left or right
behind the vehicle, both outside
rear view mirror indicators will blink
and a buzzer will sound.
Center Display
If a vehicle approaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle
is detected, the RCTA icon
(  P.293) for the det ected side will
be displayed on the Center Display.
This illustration shows an example
of a vehicle approaching from both
sides of the vehicle.
The RCTA can be enabled/dis-
abled on of the multi-infor-
mation display. ( P.510)
When the RCTA function is dis-
abled, the RCTA OFF indicator (
 P.84) illuminates. (Each time the
power switch is turned off then
changed to ON, t he RCTA function
will be enabled a utomatically.)
■Outside rear vie w mirror indica-
tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear
view mirror indicator may be difficult
to see.
■Hearing the RCTA buzzer
The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to
hear over loud noises, such as if the
audio system volume is high.
■When “Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Unavailable” is shown on the
multi-information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors. ( P.279) Removing
the ice, snow, mud, etc., from the
attached to the rear bumper around
the sensors to normal.
Additionally, the function may not
function normally when used in
extremely hot or cold environments.
■When “Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Malfunction Visit Your Dealer”
is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
There may be a sensor malfunction
or misaligned. Have the vehicle
inspected at a Toyota dealer.
■Rear side radar sensors
 P.279
■Operation of the RCTA function
The RCTA function uses rear side radar sensors to detect vehicles
approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle a nd alerts
the driver of the presence of such vehicles by flashing the out side
rear view mirror indicators and sounding a buzzer.

■RCTA icon display
When a vehicle approaching
from the right or left at the rear
of the vehicle is detected, the
following will be displayed on
the Center Display.
 Example (Toyota parking
assist monitor) (if equipped):
Vehicles are approaching
from both sides of the vehicle 
Example (Panoramic view
monitor) (if equipped): Vehi-
cles are approaching from
both sides of the vehicle
■RCTA function detection areas
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.

2944-5. Using the driving support systems
The buzzer can alert the driver
of faster vehicles approaching
from farther away.
Example:
■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
(vehicles with In tuitive parking
assist)
The buzzer volume can be adjusted
on the multi-information display.
The volume of the RCTA buzzer can
be adjusted on of the multi-infor-
mation display.( P.510)
■Muting a buzzer temporarily
(vehicles with Intuitive parking
assist)
A mute button will be displayed on
the multi-informatio n display when a
vehicle or an object is detected. To
mute the buzzer, press .
The buzzers for the RCTA function
and Intuitive parking assist will be
muted simultaneously.
Mute will be cancele d automatically
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 temporar-
ily unavailable.
●When the operati ng 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 follo wing 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

The Parking Support Brake can
be enabled/disabled on the
multi-information display. All of
the Parking Support Brake func-
tions (static objects and
rear-crossing vehicles) are
enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches
to enable/disable the parking
support brake. (P.112)
1 Select of the multi-infor-
mation display and then
press .
2 Press or to select
and then press .
When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.84) illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster.
To re-enable the system when it was disabled, select on the
multi-information
display, select
and turn it on. If the system is dis-
abled, it will remain off even if the
power switch is turned to ON after
the power switch has been turned
off.
If the hybrid system output restric-
tion control or brake control oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound and a
message will be displayed on the
audio system screen and
multi-information display, to alert
the driver.
Depending on the situation, hybrid
system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration
or restrict output as much as possi-
ble.
 Hybrid system output restric-
tion control is operating

Acceleration greater than a certain
amount is restric ted by the system.

If this message is displayed
immediately after the power
switch is changed to ON, operate
the vehicle carefully, paying atten-
tion to your surroundings. It may
be necessary to drive the vehicle
for a certain amount of time
