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.

How the buzzer sounds when obstacles
are simultaneously detected at the front
and rear of the vehicle.
The buzzer sounds as described below:
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected at the oth-
er end of the vehicle, the buzzer
sounds 7 times intermittently then
sounds continuously and it continues to
sound approximately every 1.5 sec-
onds.
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected in the
same way at the other end of the ve-
hicle, the buzzer sounds 3 times inter-
mittently then sounds continuously and
it continues to sound approximately ev-
ery 0.5 seconds.

Perceptible area
A: Approximately 1800 mm (70.9 in.)
B: Approximately 850 mm (33.5 in.)
C: Approximately 600 mm (23.6 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 intuitive parking assist is in-
tended 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 complies 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
When a towing eyelet is mounted on
your vehicle
When the tail −gate is opened
When the bumper is damaged 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 or fence
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
When the bumper is damaged
In the following cases, have your
Toyota dealer check the system.
When the bumper is damaged
When the indicator is continuously on

Compass
XS10005a
The direction is indicated on the inside
rear view mirror.
If the engine switch was turned off with
the system on, the system will automati-
cally turn back on when the engine switch
is turned on.
Push the “
” switch to turn the com-
pass system on and off. The compass indicates the direction
that the vehicle is heading. In the
above case, it shows that the vehicle is
heading north.

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The engine switch is turned off immedi-
ately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS”
below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below.

The compass sensor is in the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. Doing this may cause
malfunction of the compass sensor.
XS10007a
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,
then push and hold the “
” switch until
the zone number appears on the display.
Then push the “
” switch, referring to
the following map to select the number of
the zone where the vehicle is.

Zone number
After calibration, leaving the system for
several seconds returns it to the compass
mode.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling
calibration)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. To
rectify this, stop the vehicle and push and
hold the “
” switch until “CAL” appears
on the display.
If “CAL” appears on the display because
of a drastic change in the magnetic field,
perform circling calibration.
LS10039
Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less. If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
After driving 1 to 3 circles in the above
method, calibration is completed when the
direction is shown on the display.
If calibration cannot be performed because
of the magnetized vehicle etc., take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer. Perform circling calibration just after
you have purchased your Toyota. And
then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, re-
placed or disconnected.
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
the calibration.
CAUTION
When doing the circling calibration,
be sure to secure a wide space,
and watch out for people and ve-
hicles in the neighborhood. Do not
violate any local traffic rules while
performing circling calibration.
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
