Driver monitor Functions that use the driver monitor camera (if equipped) During controlled driving, the driver monitor camera detects the position and direction the driver is facing, and whether their eyes are opened or closed, etc. Through this, the system determines if the driver is checking their surroundings and if the driver can perform driving operations. In order to operate properly, the driver monitor camera requires an unobstructed view of the driver’s face. If the steering column or seat position is either too high or too low, or if any other condition is present that obstructs the driver monitor camera’s view of the driver’s face, some driving support systems may not operate properly, or a warning message may be displayed. Warning function In situations such as the following, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed to warn the driver. When the system determines that the driver is not paying attention to the road or their eyes are closed When the driver’s face cannot be detected or the system determines that the driver has poor driving posture When the system determines that the driver shows signs of drowsiness When the position of the steering wheel/driver’s seat is too high or too low, the driver monitor camera may not be able to recognize the whole face of the driver which can limit feature functionality and possibly trigger an alarm. Adjust the steering wheel/seat position to achieve a proper seating position where the whole meter is visible. Confirm proper seat belt routing, head restraint positioning, and appropriate distance from the steering wheel and frontal airbag as described in this manual. If the alarm continues even after making the recommended adjustments, contact your Toyota dealer.
