Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems User Guide

BSD/RCTA

The BSD/RCTA consists of rear corner radars with Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These functions of BSD/RCTA are the systems that detect objects and vehicles to the rear and draw attention to the driver when changing a lane or when driving in reverse.

WARNING

The driver is responsible for driving safely. Always be sure to check the surroundings with your eyes when changing lanes or reversing the vehicle. The system is designed to assist the driver in changing lanes or reversing safely by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle. However, you cannot rely on this system alone in assuring the safety during a lane change or reversing. Overconfidence in this system could result in an accident and lead to serious injury or death. Since the system operation has various limitations, the flashing or illumination of the BSD/RCTA approach indicator may be delayed or it may not operate at all even when a vehicle is present in a neighboring lane or approaching from either side. The driver is responsible for paying attention to the rear and side areas of the vehicle.

System features

BSD/RCTA consists of the following functions.

  •  To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind Spot Detection)   To detect a vehicle approaching from the right or left while reversing the vehicle (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

The system uses radar sensors for the following features. The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been certified by the radio wave related laws of the U.S. and other FCC compliant countries and Canada. When driving in other countries, certification of the country where the vehicle is driven must be obtained. For certification in the U.S. and other FCC compliant countries and Canada, refer to

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)

  • The system notifies the driver of the presence of vehicles in its blind spot.
  • If the system detects a vehicle in its blind spot, it warns the driver by illuminating the BSD/RCTA approach indicator( s) on the outside mirror(s).
  • If the driver operates the turn signal lever in the direction where the BSD/RCTA approach indicator is illuminating, the system warns the driver of dangers by flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator.Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (1)
  • (A) Operating range

Lane Change Assist (LCA)

  • The system notifies the driver of vehicles approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes.
  • If the system detects a vehicle approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes, it warns the driver of dangers by illuminating the BSD/RCTA approach indicator(s) on the outside mirror(s).
  • If the driver operates the turn signal lever in the direction where the BSD/RCTA approach indicator is illuminating, the system warns the driver of dangers by flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicatorToyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (2)
  • (A) Operating range

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

The system notifies the driver of another vehicle approaching from either side when driving in reverse. This feature helps the driver check the rear and side areas of the vehicle when moving backward. If the system detects a vehicle approaching from either side while moving backward, it warns the driver of dangers in the following way.

  • The BSD/RCTA approach indicator(s) on the outside mirror(s) flashes.
  • A warning buzzer sounds.
  • An icon appears on the multimedia system screenToyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (3)

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) is a system designed to help avoid collisions or reduce collision damage when reversing the vehicle. If a wall or an obstacle is detected in the reversing direction, the system will notify the driver with a warning sound and may activate the vehicle’s brakes automatically.

The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system records and stores the following data when automatic braking operates. It does not record conversations, personal information or other audio data

  • Distance from the object
  • Vehicle speed
  • Accelerator pedal operation status
  • Brake pedal operation status
  • Shift lever position
  • Outside temperature
  • The sensitivity setting of the sonar sensors

Toyota and third parties contracted by Toyota may acquire and use the recorded data for the purpose of vehicle research and development. Toyota and third parties contracted by Toyota will not disclose or provide the acquired data to any other third party except under the following conditions.

  • The vehicle owner has given his/her consent.
  • The disclosure/provision is based on a court order or other legally enforceable request.
  • Data that has been modified so that the user and vehicle cannot be identified is provided to a research institution for statistical processing or similar purposes.

WARNING

  • Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) is not a system intended to replace the driver’s responsibility to check their surroundings for vehicles or obstacles to avoid a collision.
  • The driver is responsible for driving safely. Before reversing, be sure to first depress the brake pedal and visually check the surroundings.
  • There are some cases in which the vehicle cannot avoid collision, because the system operation has limitations. The warning sound or automatic braking may be delayed or may not operate at all even when an obstacle is present.
  • Make sure to set the Automatic Braking to OFF when the vehicle is on the free roller or on the chassis dynamometer. Otherwise, the vehicle may move and it may cause an accident.
  • Make sure to set the Automatic Braking to OFF when towing the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle may move and it may cause an accident.
  • The system is not designed to detect people (including children), animals or other moving objects. Depending on the vehicle condition or the surrounding environment, the sonar sensor’s ability to detect objects may become unstable.

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system overview

The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system will operate the following 2 functions using 4 sonar sensors.

  • Sonar Audible Alarm The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system detects objects rearward and warns the driver by warning message on the multimedia system screen and warning beeps.
  • Automatic Braking The automatic braking detects objects rearward and if there is a high risk of a collision, the system decelerates the vehicle and controls the braking to reduce damage.Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (14)
  • When reversing When either strong automatic braking or torque control is applied to prevent collision (in this case, short warning beeps or continuous warning beeps will sound)
  • “Object Close Behind”Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (15)
  • When the vehicle is stopped by the system (in this case, the continuous beep will remain sounding) “Apply Brake To Hold Position”Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (16)

WARNING

If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to escape by reversing through the crossing gate, the system may recognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and the brake may activate. In this case, remain calm and either continue to depress the accelerator pedal or cancel the system. (P.247)

Handling of the Sonar Sensors

The 4 sonar sensors are located in the rear bumper. To ensure the proper operation of the Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system, observe the following precautions

  • Do not affix any stickers or other items on the sonar sensor or the bumper surface near the sonar sensors.
  • Always keep the sonar sensor and the rear bumper surface near the sonar sensors clean.
  • Do not modify rear bumper.
  • Do not paint the bumper near the sonar sensors.
  • Do not apply high pressure water to the sonar sensors with a high pressure car-washing machine.
  • Do not apply strong impacts to the rear bumper near the sonar sensors. If a sensor becomes misaligned, a system malfunction may occur, including inability to detect objects in the reversing direction. If any strong impact is applied to the rear bumper, contact a Toyota dealer to have the system inspected.
  • Do not disassemble the sonar sensors. If the sonar sensors require repair or replacement, or if the area of the rear bumper near the sonar sensors requires repair, paintwork or replacement, contact your Toyota dealer for assistance.

Rearview camera

A rear view camera is attached to the trunk lid. When the engine switch is in ON and the shift lever is set to R, the rear view camera automatically displays the rear view image behind the vehicle on the multimedia system screen.Toyota 86 2022 Using other driving systems fig (31)

  • Do not wipe the camera with alcohol, benzine or paint thinner. Otherwise, discoloration may occur. To remove contamination, wipe the camera with a cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent. Then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
  • When waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply the wax to the camera. If it comes in contact with the camera, moisten a clean cloth with a diluted neutral detergent to remove the wax.

Preparation for winter

Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.

  •  Engine oil
  •  Engine coolant
  •  Washer fluid
  •  Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
  •  Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for the rear tires.
  • Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires.

Before driving the vehicle

Perform the following according to the driving conditions:

  • Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
  • Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.
  • Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
  • To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.
  • Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes.
  • Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the vehicle.

When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.

When parking the vehicle

  • Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking brake.
  • The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released.
  • If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the wheels.
  • Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
  • If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
  • The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other position without depressing the brake pedal.
  • If the shift lever can be shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately?

Tire chains

Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle because of the lack of clearance between the tires and vehicle body. When tire chains cannot be used, use of another type of traction device (such as spring chains) may be acceptable if use on your vehicle is recommended by the device manufacturer, taking into account tire size and road conditions. Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions, especially regarding maximum vehicle speed. To help avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or remove the device if it is contacting your vehicle, and do not spin your wheels. Damage caused to your vehicle by use of a traction device is not covered under warranty. Make certain that any traction device you use is an SAE class “S” device, and use it on the rear wheels only. Always use the utmost care when driving with a traction device. Overconfidence because you are using a traction device could easily lead to a serious accident.

Selecting tire chains

We recommend that you consult your Toyota dealer for information about the chains that yo can use.
