ObjectCalculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras ca n
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected obje ct can
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the obje ct
warning function will operate.
Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehic le
are not detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are out side of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.
■Object warning function operat-
ing conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the fuel cell system is
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been
selected, the vehicle has moved
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed
and the multimedia display is dis-
played.
●The front or rear s ensor detects a
stationary object.
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until the vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors o r side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side
cameras, but then leaves the

or side cameras, the system will
assume the object has not moved.
WARNING
■Side sensors and side cam-
eras
In situations such as the following,
the function may n ot operate cor-
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Proceed carefully.
●When starting off shortly after
the power switch is turned to
ON and a small vehicle or other
object which cannot be detected
by a front side sensor is next to
the vehicle.
In the situation shown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on
the left will not be detected and
the object warni ng function will
not operate.
●When an object or person is in a
position which cannot be
detected by the side sensors or
side cameras.
●When, after the side sensors
have completed scanning the
areas along the sides of the
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or
other object approaches the
side of the vehic le and cannot
be detected.
●When the outside rear view mir-
ror is closed, the side sensors
or side cameras cannot detect
objects.
●If the 12-volt battery was dis-
charged or has been removed
and installed, fold and extend
the outside rear view mirrors.

will be enabled a utomatically.)
■Outside rear view mirror indica-
tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear
view mirror indicato r may be difficult
to see.
■Hearing the RCTA buzzer
The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to
hear over loud noises, such as high
audio volume.
■When “Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Unavailable” is shown on the
multi-information display
The sensor voltage has become
abnormal, or water, snow, mud, etc.,
may be built up in the vicinity of the
sensor area of t he rear bumper.
( P.258)
Removing the water, snow, mud,
etc., from the vicinity of the sensor
area should return it to normal. Also,
the sensor may not function nor-
mally when used in extremely hot or
cold weather.
■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 your Toyota dealer.
■Radar sensors
P.258
■Operation of the RCTA
function
The RCTA function uses radar
sensors to detect vehicles
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle and
alerts the driver of the presence
of such vehicles by flashing the
outside rear view mirror indica-
tors and sounding a buzzer.
