■The safe exit assist detection areas
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.

*: The faster a vehicle or bicycle is approaching, the distance at which an
outside rear view mirror indicato r will illuminate or blink will become fur-
ther.
■The safe exit assist is opera-
tional when
The safe exit assist is operational
when all of the following conditions
are met:
●When the power switch is ON,
less than 3 minutes have elapsed
since the hybrid system was off, or
less than 3 minutes have elapsed
since a door was opened and
someone has entered the vehicle
(the time which operation is possi-
ble may be extended if a door is
opened and closed)
●Safe exit assist is on
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The shift position is in a position
other than R.
■The safe exit assist will detect a
vehicle when
The safe exit assist will detect a

■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 or 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
detection area of the side sensors
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 not 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 warning 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 vehicle 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.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not
function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

WARNING
●As following objects may not be
detected, make sure to check
the safety of the area around
your vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle if
it may collide with an object.
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi- als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, park- ing blocks, etc.)
• Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
●Even if there is an object in the

●While the system is operating, if
it is likely that your vehicle will
collide with a nearby vehicle,
parking block, object, or person,
depress the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle and press the
Advanced Park main switch to
disable the system.
●Never use only the Multimedia
Display to view the area behind
the vehicle. The image dis-
played may differ than the
actual situation. Using only the

lead to an accident, such as a
collision with anot her vehicle.
When backing up, make sure to
look directly or use the mirrors
to check the safety of the area
around your vehicle, especially
behind the vehicle.
●When the ambient temperature
is extremely low, the screen
may appear dark or the dis-
played image may become
unclear. Also, as moving
objects may appear distorted or
may not be able to be seen on
the screen, make sure to
directly check the safety of the
area around your vehicle.
●In the following situations, while
the vehicle is stopped and held
by Advanced Park, it may be
canceled and the vehicle may
start moving. Immediately
depress the brake pedal. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an
accident.
• When the driver’s door is opened
• When operations instructed by the system are not performed
within a certain amount of time
• When the brake pedal is depressed and the vehicle is
stopped for a certain amount of
time
• When the system malfunctions
●As the steering wheel will turn
while this system is operating,
pay attention to the following.
• Be careful so that a necktie, scarf, or arm does not get
caught. Keep your upper body
away from the steering wheel.
Also, keep children away from
the steering wheel.
• Long fingernails may be caught and when the steering wheel is
rotating, leading to injury.
• In an emergency, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle,
