tem.
●In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the nor-
mal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system
will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been
driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the mes-
sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
SituationActions
When the area around a camera is cov-
ered with dirt, moisture (fogged up, cov-
ered with condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matterUsing the wiper and A/C function,
remove the dirt and other attached mat-
ter. (P.431)
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment

the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.

the vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.

●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision warning)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at an inter-
section which targets oncoming vehicles does not work.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision braking)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at an inter-
section which targets oncoming vehicles does not work.
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based on
their size, profile, motion, etc. However,
an object may not be detected depend-
ing on the surrounding brightness and
the motion, posture, and angle of the
detected object, preventing the system
from operating properly. (P.351)
The illustration shows an image of
detectable objects.
■Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, the system may determine that
there is a possibility of a frontal colli-
sion and operate.
• When passing a detectable object,
etc.
• When changing lanes while overtak-
ing a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable
object in an adjacent lane or on the
roadside, such as when changing the
