2−1. Driving procedures
2
When driving
CAUTION
 When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.
 When braking the vehicle
 When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and may cause one
side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
 If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other
vehicles closely and avoid downhills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but it will require more force on the
pedal than usual. Braking distance may also increase.
 Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power−assisted
brakes.
 The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the
systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and braking distance
becomes longer.
Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.

When driving
Intuitive par king assist (if equipped)
The distance to obstacles measured by the sensors is communi
cated via the buzzer when parallel parking or maneuvering into a
garage. Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
This system works when the engine switch is in the ON position and
the shift lever is in R.
 Back sensors
These sensors detect obsta−
cles behind the vehicle.

140 2−4. Using other driving systems
The distance and buzzer
When a sensor detects an obstacle, the buzzer sounds.  Intuitive parking assist switch
ON/OFF
When on, the buzzer sounds
to inform the driver that the
system is operational. At this
time, the indicator light will
come on.
Press the button to switch the
ON/OFF mode.

 Sensor detection information
 Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed below.
There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
A sensor is frozen.
A sensor is covered in any way.
The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing
ultrasonic waves.
There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
The vehicle is approaching a tall or right−angled curb.
In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
Objects lower than the sensors or thin stakes etc. may be detected ini−
tially, but as they draw closer, they may cease to be detected.
A towing hitch is mounted to the vehicle.
A non−genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is
installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
 The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb radio waves
Sharply−angled objects
Low obstacles
Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle

.
 Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device compiles with Canadian ICES−001.
CAUTION
 Caution when using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
 Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

Do not attach any accessories within the sensor range.
NOTICE
 Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
