RCD (Rear Camera Detection) function^{* *}If equipped When the vehicle is backing up, the rear camera detection function can detect pedestrians in the detection area behind the vehicle. If a pedestrian is detected, a buzzer will sound and an icon will be displayed on the audio system screen to inform the driver of the pedestrian. Warning: Cautions regarding the use of the system The recognition and control capabilities for this system are limited. The driver should always drive safely by always being responsible without over relying on the system and have a understanding of the surrounding situations. To ensure the system can operate properly Observe the following, otherwise there is the danger that could lead to an accident. Always clean the camera without damaging it. Do not install market electronic parts (such as Illuminated license plate, fog lamps, etc.) in the camera vicinity. Do not subject the camera vicinity to strong impacts. If the vicinity is subjected to a strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. Do not disassemble, remodel or paint the camera. Do not attach accessories or stickers to the camera. Do not install market protection parts (bumper trim, etc.) to the rear bumper. Maintain suitable tire air pressure. Make sure the back door is completely closed. RCD function is turned off In the following situations the system turns off. The RCD function may not operate properly and thus there is the danger that an accident may occur. The contents mentioned above are not observed. Suspensions other than Toyota genuine parts are installed.

If this message is displayed only when the shift lever is in R, the rear camera lens may be dirty. Clean the rear camera lens. Situations in which the system may not operate properly Some pedestrians, such as the following, may not be detected by the rear camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly: Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting Pedestrians who are lying down Pedestrians who are running Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area People riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making their silhouette obscure Pedestrians whose body is partially hidden by an object, such as a cart or umbrella Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night In some situations, such as the following, pedestrians may not be detected by the rear camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly: When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.) When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground parking lot When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an underground parking lot When the dedicated camera cleaning washer is operating When the camera position and direction are deviated When a towing hook is attached When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up, nose down) When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used Situations in which the system may operate unexpectedly Even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area, some objects, such as the following, may be detected, possibly causing the rear camera detection function to operate. Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehicle Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle Objects moving toward your vehicle when backing up, such as flags or puddles (or airborne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow) Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repairs, white lines, pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the road Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface Shadows on the road In some situations, such as the following, the rear camera detection function may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area. When backing up toward the roadside or a bump on the road When backing up toward an incline/decline If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed due to a collision or other impact, or removal and installation When water is flowing over the rear camera lens When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the emergency flashers of another vehicle When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used. Situations in which the rear camera detection function may be difficult to notice The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy, the volume of the audio system volume is high, the air conditioning system is being used, etc. If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio system screen may not operate correctly.
