Panoramic view

●

In the panoramic view, the system combines images taken from the front,
back, left and right side cameras into a single image. There are limits to
the range and content that can be displayed. Understand the characteris-
tics of this system before using.

●

Image clarity may decline at the four corners of the panoramic view. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction, as these are the regions along the border of
each camera image where the images are combined.

●

Depending on lighting conditions near each of the cameras, bright and
dark patches may appear on the panoramic view.

●

The panoramic view display does not extend higher than the installation
position and image capture range of each camera.

●

There are blind spots around the vehicle and there are regions that are not
displayed in the panoramic view.

●

Three-dimensional objects displayed in wide front view or rear view may
not be displayed in the panoramic view.

●

People and other three-dimensional obstacles may appear differently
when displayed in the panoramic view. (These differences include, among
others, cases in which displayed objects appear to have fallen over, disap-
pear near image processing areas, appear from image processing areas,
or when the actual distance to an object differs from the displayed posi-
tion.)

●

The panoramic view will not be properly displayed when either front door
or the back door is open.

●

The vehicle icon displayed in the panoramic view is a computer generated
image, and properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the
actual vehicle. Therefore, nearby three-dimensional objects may appear to
be touching the vehicle, and actual distances to three-dimensional objects
may differ from those displayed.

Panoramic view display range

●

In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images acquired
form the 4 cameras under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road
surface. Therefore, the display may appear as follows.
• Three-dimensional objects may appear to have fallen over, and be long

and thin or bigger than they actually are

• Three-dimensional objects at a point higher than the surface of the road

may appear further away than they actually are, or may not appear

• Tall objects may appear to emerge from the image processing seams

●

Inconsistencies in the brightness of images from each camera may occur
depending on lighting conditions.

●

The displayed image may not be aligned when the tilt or height of the vehi-
cle changed due to the number of passengers, cargo weight or remaining
quantity of gasoline.

●

Images and guide lines may not be properly displayed when the doors are
not completely closed.

●

The relative distances between the vehicle icon and road surface or an
obstacle displayed in the panoramic view may differ from the actual state.

●

If an illuminated license plate is used, it may appear on the screen.

●

The black area around the vehicle icon is an area that is not appear in the
camera. Check these areas directly.

■

Wide front view display range

●

Certain areas at the front of the vehicle have a different sense of distance,
and are masked in black so that they do not appear on the screen.

●

There are limits to the range displayed on the screen. Objects at either cor-
ner of the bumper or directly below the bumper are not displayed.

●

The perceived distance in images displayed on the screen differs from the
actual distance.

■

Images displayed on the screen

Cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system use special lenses. The distance
of the image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance.

●

The circled areas shown in the illustra-
tion may be difficult to see, as these are
points where images are combined.

How to use the cameras

●

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Multi-
terrain Monitor from operating properly.
• Do not strike the camera area, or allow any objects to bump into it

If the camera or surrounding area has received a strong impact, the
camera position, installation angle, etc., may deviate. If the camera is
accidentally subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected at your
Toyota dealer.

• Do not remove, disassemble or modify the camera or surrounding parts

Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning. This also may result
in a loss of waterproof performance.

• If the camera lens is dirty, follow the above procedures to clean it

If the camera lens is damaged it cannot transmit a clear image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, oil film remover, glass coating,
etc. to contact the camera cover
Doing so will negatively affect the camera cover (resin). If this happens,
wipe it off immediately.

• When the outside temperature is cold, do not cause any sudden

changes in temperature, such as by applying hot water

●

When washing the vehicle, do not apply water with a high-pressure
washer to the camera or surrounding area. Doing so may cause the cam-
era to receive a strong impact, and the camera may not operate properly

Differences between the panoramic view screen and the actual
road

The distance guide lines, the combined panoramic view image,
guide lines, etc., indicate estimated distances on a flat road sur-
face. In the following situations, actual distances and vehicle course
will differ from the guide lines on the screen.

●

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehicle
than the actual distance. Therefore, obstacles on an upward
slope appear further away than they actually are. In the same
way, the actual course of the vehicle will differ from the course
indicated by the guide lines.

●

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines are displayed further away than the
actual distance. Therefore, obstacles on a downward slope
appear closer than the actually are. In the same way, the actual
course of the vehicle will differ from the course indicated by the
guide lines.

●

When the vehicle is tilted
When the vehicle is tilted due to the number of passengers or
weight of the load, actual distances and vehicle course will differ.

Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects
higher than the surface of the road (such as a vehicle bumper) are
nearby.

●

Panoramic view display
In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays
images under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road
surface. Therefore, the position of three-dimensional objects
higher than the road surface (such as a vehicle bumper) cannot
be determined. Even if it seems that a collision will not occur
according to the screen, there may not actually be any extra
space between the vehicle and an obstacle higher than the road
surface, resulting in a collision. In these cases, confirm the safety
of your surroundings directly.

How to use the camera

●

The Multi-terrain Monitor system may not operate properly in the following
cases.
• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has

been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.

• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassem-

ble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity

of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the cam-
era lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to

adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured

on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.

• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the

camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunc-
tioning.

• When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium light or mer-

cury light etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.

• The camera can be damaged by flying rocks and other debris.

●

Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunc-
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.

BSM function detection areas

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor function is a supplementary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor function. The function cannot judge if it is safe to change
lanes, therefore over reliance could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-road
conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud)

◆

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation

◆

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces

◆

Active TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads, or in off-road
conditions

◆

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on
an incline or slippery slope

◆

KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System)

KDSS helps to enhance ride comfort and handling response by using a
hydraulic control system to control the suspension stabilizer bars in
response to road surface and driving conditions during cornering or off-
road driving

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.

affect the driving assist systems, and may cause the system to malfunc-

tion.

■

Trailer Sway Control precaution

The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ-
ations. Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle,
trailer, road surface, and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Control sys-
tem may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for informa-
tion on how to tow your trailer properly.

■

If trailer sway occurs

Off-road precautions

●

Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this
type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

●

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the
road allowing you to anticipate problems.

●

It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp
turns at excessive speeds may cause the vehicle to rollover.

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has
higher ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to the
height of its center of gravity to make it capable of performing in
a wide variety of off-road applications.

WARNING

■

Off-road vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, seri-
ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers
should always fasten their seat belts.

●

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.

●

Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi-
cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.

●

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher
center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordi-
nary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control.

●

Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle)
can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or backward.

382

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)

4-6. Driving tips

When driving your vehicle off-road, please observe the following pre-
cautions to ensure your driving enjoyment and to help prevent the clo-
sure of areas to off-road vehicles:

●

Drive your vehicle only in areas where off-road vehicles are permit-
ted to travel.

●

Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering
private property.

●

Do not enter areas that are closed. Honor gates, barriers and signs
that restrict travel.

●

Stay on established roads. When conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel delayed to prevent damage to
roads.

■

Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, seri-
ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●

Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving
in dangerous places.

●

Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump
could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and espe-
cially your thumbs on the outside of the rim.

●

Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in
sand, mud, water or snow.

●

After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check that
there is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped
on the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the underbody. If the
vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody,
a breakdown or fire could occur.

●

When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss
of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also
risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

NOTICE

■

To prevent the water damage

Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.

●

Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.

●

Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.

●

Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.

■

When you drive through water

If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmness. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.

■

Inspection after off-road driving

●

Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.

●

Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
