Stopping the engine

While driving with the D shift
position selected, depress the
brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle. The engine will stop auto-
matically.

When the engine stops, the Stop &
Start indicator will illuminate.

■

Restarting the engine

Release the brake pedal. The
engine will start automatically.

When the engine starts, the Stop &
Start indicator will turn off.

Stop & Start system

The Stop & Start system
stops and starts the engine
according to brake pedal or
shift lever operation when
the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to
improve fuel economy and
reduce noise pollution
caused by the engine idling.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-

tor)

The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver for
lane changing decision.

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 Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-

plementary function which alerts

the driver that a vehicle is in a

blind spot of the outside rear view

mirrors or is approaching rapidly

from behind into a blind spot. Do

not overly rely on the Blind Spot

Monitor. As the function cannot

judge if it is safe to change lanes,

over reliance could lead to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.
As the system may not function

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual con-

firmation of safety is necessary.

Outside rear view mirror indi-
cators

When a vehicle is detected in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot, the outside
rear view mirror indicator on the
detected side will illuminate. If the
turn signal lever is operated toward
the detected side, the outside rear
view mirror indicator flashes.

■

Outside rear view mirror indica-

tor visibility

In strong sunlight, the outside rear

view mirror indicator may be difficult

to see.

■

When “Blind Spot Monitor

Unavailable” is shown on the

multi-information display

Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be

attached to the rear bumper around

the sensors. (



P.283) The system

should return to normal operation

after removing the ice, snow, mud,

etc., from the rear bumper. Addition-

ally, the sensors may not operate

normally when driving in extremely

hot or cold environments.

■

When “Blind Spot Monitor Mal-

function Visit Your Dealer” is

shown on the multi-information

display

There may be a sensor malfunction

or misaligned. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota dealer.

If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message (

●

Do not subject a sensor or its

surrounding area on the rear

bumper to a strong impact.

If a sensor is moved even

may malfunction and vehicles

may not be detected correctly.

In the following situations, have

your vehicle inspected by your

Toyota dealer.

• A sensor or its surrounding area

is subject to a strong impact.

• If the surrounding area of a sen-

sor is scratched or dented, or

part of them has become dis-

■

Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)

Auto Trailer Detection (ATD) detects

if a trailer is attached by using the

Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.

●

Trailers that use TBC can be

detected by using the 7-pin trailer

brake connectors.

●

Other types of trailers can be

detected using the BSM sensors.

●

When a trailer is detected via BSM

or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-

abled.

●

As soon as the trailer is detected,

the detection area will be

extended to a maximum length of

approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from

the rear bumper of the truck.

●

If the trailer does not have a 7-pin

connector, or the 7-pin connector

is not engaged, the trailer is

detected via the BSM sensor. In

this case PKSB and Intuitive park-

ing assist functions will not be dis-

abled.

●

For trailer auto detection without

engagement of 7-pin connector,

the vehicle should be moving for-

ward at speed of above 0.6 mph

(1 km/h) for at least 10 seconds.

●

ATD function is triggered at every

engine switch on/off cycle or if the

vehicle is stopped in shift the shift

lever is in P or N for more than 90

seconds.

●

Trailer detection vis BSM sensors

may be delayed if the vehicle is in

a crowded environment such as

busy parking lot, area surrounded

with trees (camping ground) or in

an environment with objects in the

immediate environment that pre-

vent sensors from sufficiently

detecting the trailer.

■

Trailer Length Detection (TLD)

●

Once a trailer is detected and if

the trailer length in the meter is

selected as “Auto”, the TLD func-

tion will estimate the trailer length

using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-

sors.

In order to estimate the trailer length

with TLD function and detection

area, make at least two 90 degree

turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-

Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor

The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.

The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas

The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.



When not towing a trailer

The range of each detection area is:

286

4-5. Using the driving support systems

Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of
the vehicle

Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper

Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper

Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear
bumper



When towing a trailer

The range of each detection area is:

Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of
the vehicle

Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper

Trailer overall length

Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear end of trailer

:The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side

of the vehicle cannot be detected.

:The outer mirror indicator warning may be delayed. The delay increases

in proportion to the speed differential with vehicles approaching in the
adjacent lane.

:The system does not support trailers wider than 8.5 ft. (2.59 m) and/or

longer than 39 ft. (12.0 m). For box trailers and certain other trailer types
that are up to 8.5 ft. (2.59 m) wide and/or 39 ft. (12.0 m) long, the indica-
tor warning in the outer mirror may be delayed if the vehicle in the adja-
cent lane overtakes your vehicle at a high-speed differential.
