WARNING
■Toyota parking assist-sensor precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehi-cle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and
reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle
(especially the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s
speed.
●Do not install accessories near the
bumpers as those areas are within the sensors’ detection areas.

4165-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The shift lever is in other than P.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even
if the sensor is clean, there may be a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
●The area directly under the bum-pers is not detected.
Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been
detected once.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●The vehicle is equipped with a com- mercial fender pole, wireless
antenna or fog lights.
●The front or rear bumper or a sen-
sor receives a strong impact.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
