Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to ACCES-
SORY mode and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on. The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything

detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G12E)
Sensor detection information
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be
closer than they are.
The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle

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.

When trouble arises
Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer
If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank becomes com-
pletely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The
malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
as soon as possible.
Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an
audio sound.
If the engine oil change reminder light flashes (if equipped)
Repeated short trips and/or low-speed driving may cause the oil to degrade
sooner than usual, regardless of the actual distance driven. If this happens,
the engine oil change reminder will flash.
