*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era and/or 7-inch/8-inch display
navigation system (when speed
limit information is available) to pro-
vide information to the driver via the
display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing prohibited actions, etc.
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■To avoid operating the speed lim- iter by mistake
Switch the speed limiter off using the
speed limiter main switch when not in use.
■Situations unsuitable for speed limiter
Do not use speed limiter in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in loss of control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep hills
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

Summary of function
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer • When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the
vehicle • When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area• Immediately after the Blind Spot Moni-
tor is turned on
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor
unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object may increase in the fol-lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecu- tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other
than the adjacent lanes enters the detection area• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a following vehicle is short• When an accessory (such as a bicycle
carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehicle

■Location and types of sensors
Front corner sensors
Front center sensors
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
Front side sensors (vehicles
with panoramic view monitor)
Rear side sensors (vehicles with
Toyota parking assist-
sensor*
The distance from your vehicle
to objects, such as a wall,
when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is
measured by the sensors and
communicated via the multi-
information display or naviga-
tion/multimedia system dis-
play (if equipped) and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding
area when using this system.

incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle

●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Pedestrians wearing clothes which
only partially reflect ultrasonic waves (ex skirts with gathers or frills).

uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm

changed due to a collision or other impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
