The system may not detect the follow-
ing.
Thin objects such as a wire or rope
Objects with a surface area too small
to reflect ultrasonic waves such as
wire gauze
Sound wave absorbing objects or mate-
rial such as cotton or snow
A person near the vehicle (depending
on the type of clothes worn)
Objects with a sharp edge
Small or short objects
Tall objects with an upper part project-
ing toward the vehicle
Objects just under the bumper
Objects very close to your vehicle
In the following cases, have your
Toyota dealer check the system.
When the bumper is damaged.
When the indicator is continuously on.
1: Rear sensors
2: Rear corner sensors
The Toyota park assist system is de-
signed to inform you of the approxi-
mate distance between your vehicle and
an obstruction by indicator and buzzer
when parking the vehicle. This system
uses sensors to detect obstructions.
This system works when the engine
switch is in the “ON” position and the
transmission is in the “R” position.
The sensors work only when the transmis-
sion is in the “R” position.
To turn on: Push the switch.
The indicator comes on and the buzzer
will sound.
To turn off: Push the switch again.

In the following cases, the buzzer will
sound several times and the indicator
will stay on to indicate that the system
is not working properly.
When the temperature is extremely low.
When any of the sensors are malfunc-
tion.
If the indicator is continuously on, have
your Toyota dealer check the system.
If the indicator remains blinking but
you do not hear the buzzer sound,
clean the sensors with soft cloth.
Rear sensors
Rear corner sensorsThis system is designed to inform you of
the approximate distance between your
vehicle and an obstacle by indicator and
buzzer.

2: Rear sensors
Perceptible area
A: Approximately 1800 mm (70.9 in.)
B: Approximately 850 mm (33.5 in.)
Perceptible area is limited as shown in
the previous illustration. Check the area
around the vehicle before driving and start
driving slowly.
The maximum detection distance of the
sensor varies depending on the size of
the obstacle. The sensor can detect a
large obstacle, such as a wall, up to 1800
mm (70.9 in.) away. However, the detec-
tion distance of a thin obstacle, such as
a pole, is less than 1800 mm (70.9 in.).CAUTION
The Toyota park assist system is
intended as an aid to assist you to
park and is not a substitute for
your personal judgment. Make your
driving decisions based on your ob-
servations.
Do not attach accessories or other
objects to the vehicle within the
sensor perceptible area. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunc-
tion, which might result in an acci-
dent.
In certain situations, the system
will not function properly and when
the vehicle approaches certain ob-
jects, the system will not detect
those objects. Therefore, always ob-
serve the area around the vehicle
and do not rely solely on the sys-
tem.

For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device compiles with
Canadian ICES001.
In the following cases, the system may
not work properly.
When ice, snow, mud or other objects
build up on the sensor.
When the vehicle is parked in extreme-
ly high or extremely low temperature
for a long period.
When driving on bumpy or graveled
roads or on grass
When a device such as a horn from
another vehicle, motorcycle engine, or
an air brake sound from a heavy −duty
vehicle, issues ultrasonic waves, near
your vehicle
When attaching a two −way radio anten-
na
When rain or water splashes on the
sensor.
When operating the vehicle on an in-
clined surface
When a radio antenna or fender pole
is mounted on your vehicle.
When a towing hitch is mounted on
your vehicle. The system may not detect the follow-
ing.
Thin objects such as a wire or rope
Objects with a surface area too small
to reflect ultrasonic waves such as
wire gauze
Sound wave absorbing objects or mate-
rial such as cotton or snow
A person near the vehicle (depending
on the type of clothes worn)

ing toward the vehicle

CAUTION
Do not overestimate the antilock
brake system: Although the antilock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti
lock brake system on.
If tires grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the antilock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Antilock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at the moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
antilock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
Driving on rough, gravel or snow
covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The antilock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.
