Driving
CAUTION
When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the
doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession. (P. 469)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or
braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving
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.
Sensors used by Simple-IPA
P. 244
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.
