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.
