The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-
angled curb.
In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
A non-genuine Toyota suspension (low-
ered suspension etc.) is installed.
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
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 pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
In addition to the examples above, there
are instances in which, because of their
shapes, signs and other objects may be
judged by a sensor to be closer than
they are.
WA R N I N G
