UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Resume function of Simple-IPA
If Simple-IPA is canceled due to one of the following operations, Simple-IPA
operation may be able to be resumed by pressing the Simple-IPA switch
depending on conditions such as the vehicle stopped position and steering
wheel angle.
The steering wheel is operated manually during automatic steering.
The vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h (3 mph) during automatic steering.
Except hybrid model: The shift lever is moved to a position other than R
after the automatic steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking
space.
Hybrid model: The shift position is moved to a position other than R after the
automatic steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.
If operation is not resumed, park the vehicle manually or detect another park-
ing space.
When using Simple-IPA repeatedly
When Simple-IPA is used repeatedly, the power steering may overheat tem-
porarily. It may deactivate or cancel Simple-IPA operation. In this case, wait a
few minutes before using Simple-IPA again.
Toyota parking assist-sensor operation during Simple-IPA operation
Even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor switch is turned off while Simple-IPA
is activated, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will keep operating. In this case,
when Simple-IPA operation is complete or canceled, the Toyota parking
assist-sensor will be deactivated.
Stop & Start system operation during Simple-IPA operation (vehicles
with a Stop & Start system)
The Stop & Start system does not operate during Simple-IPA operation. If the
Simple-IPA switch is turned on during Stop & Start system operation, Stop &
Start system operation will be canceled.
When the cabin temperature is high
The sensors may not work properly when the cabin temperature is high due
to parking the vehicle in the sun. Use Simple-IPA after the cabin cools down.

Initializing Simple-IPA
Within 15 seconds of turning the Simple-IPA switch on, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left or right and then to the opposite side.
When the parking space detection screen is displayed, the initialization is
complete.
If pressing the Simple-IPA switch again still shows “IPA NOT AVAILABLE,
STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN WHEEL FROM LEFT END TO RIGHT END” on
the multi-information display, the initialization has failed. Have the vehicle
inspected at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
CAUTION
Cautions regarding the use of Simple-IPA
Never depend on the Simple-IPA entirely when parking. The driver is
responsible for safety. Use caution, just as you would when parking any
vehicle.
Back up slowly, using the brake pedal to control the vehicle's speed.
If it seems likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, or people, depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and the disable the system.
Conditions in which the use of Simple-IPA is prohibited
Do not use Simple-IPA under the following conditions.
Doing so may cause improper operation and lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
On sharp bends or slopes.
On slippery or icy roads, or in snow.
On uneven road surfaces such as gravel.
During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a sandstorm.
When the tires are extremely worn or tire pressure is low.
When the vehicle has improper wheel alignment due to tires having
received a strong impact such as bumping against a curb.
When the compact spare tire (if equipped) or snow chains are installed.
When the tires slid while attempting to park.
When fallen leaves or snow is in a parking space.
Models that can tow a trailer: When items such as a towing bracket, trailer,
bicycle carrier, etc. are installed on the rear of the vehicle.

NOTICE
When using the Simple-IPA
Check that the parking space is suitable. (Width of the space, if there are
any obstacles, road surface condition, etc.)
Simple-IPA will not operate properly if the vehicle at the front or back of the
parking space moves, or if an obstacle enters the parking space after the
sensors have detected the parking space. Always check the surrounding
area during parking assist operation.
The sensors may not be able to detect curbs. The vehicle may drive onto
the curb depending on the situation, such as if a vehicle at the front or
back of the parking space has driven on the curb.
Check the surrounding area to prevent the tires and wheels from being
damaged.
Except hybrid model: The vehicle may not be able to be parked at a target
parking space if the vehicle moves forward when the shift lever is in R or
reverses when the shift lever is in a position other than R, such as when
parking on a slope.
Hybrid model: The vehicle may not be able to be parked at a target parking
space if the vehicle moves forward when the shift position is in R or
reverses when the shift position is in a position other than R, such as when
parking on a slope.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting an obstacle in the
front of the vehicle.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting the vehicle parked in
front of the parking space.

Automatic engine start function
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the clutch pedal
being depressed.
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The air conditioning
system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The windshield
defogger is turned on.
• The 12-volt battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Even if the Stop & Start system
is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position then to the
“START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Even if the Stop & Start system is
disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-enabled
once the engine switch is turned off then the engine is started.
The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud
sound is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be auto-
matically cut off in order to maintain power for the Stop & Start system func-
tion.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud sound
is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be automati-
cally cut off in order to maintain power for the Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch off then to ACCESSORY mode or
IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the automatic
engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch operation.
