TOYOTA PARKING ASSIST
MONITOR
The parking assist monitor assists the
driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up, for example while parking.
The parking assist monitor assists with
the following 2 backing-up operations:
(1) Perpendicular parking (parking in a
garage, etc.)
(2) Parallel parking (parking at the side of the road, etc.)
INFORMATION
●The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may dif-
fer from the image that is actually dis-
played on the screen.
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
When backing up, be sure to visually
check all around the vehicle both di-
rectly and using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may hit
another vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the parking assist
monitor.
CAUTION
●The parking assist monitor is a supple-
mental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. Never depend
on the parking assist monitor entirely
when backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
● Never back up while looking only at the
screen.
The image shown on the screen may dif-
fer from the actual state, and you could
collide with another vehicle or obstacles
if backing up looking only at the screen,
possibly causing an accident. When
backing up, be sure to check in front of
and behind the vehicle, both directly and
with mirrors.
● Be sure to back up slowly, depressing
the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●
If you seem likely to hit nearby vehi-
cles, obstacles, people or mount the
shoulder, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle, then disable the
assist system by touching on
the screen to cancel the system.
