ESTIMATED COURSE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. In the case
shown below, the truck appears to be
outside of the estimated course lines
and the vehicle does not look as if it
hits the truck. However, the rear body
of the truck may actually cross over the
estimated course lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.DISTANCE GUIDE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. On the
screen, it appears that a truck is park-
ing at point B. However, in reality if you
back up to point A, you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that A is clos-
est and C is furthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to A and C is the
same, and B is farther than A and C.

detect obstacles that are extremely close
to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object etc.There is dirt, snow or ice on a 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 ultrasonic 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 radio antenna.

DETECTION RANGE OF THE
SENSORSSENSOR DETECTION
INFORMATION
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an
obstacle. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.

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
●Caution when using the intuitive parking
assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and
possibly cause an accident.
• Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Do not attach any accessories within
the sensor range.
●Even though sensors which are func-
tioning properly continue to detect
obstacles, never use the intuitive park-
ing assist if one more sensor(s) may be
malfunctioning.
NOTICE
●Notes when washing the vehicle
●Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
●Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●As the intuitive parking assist-sensor
might be malfunctioning in the following
cases, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer.
• The graphic which indicates that an
obstacle has been detected does not
come on and a beep does not sound
even when the intuitive parking assist
mode is turned on.
• The graphic which indicates that an
obstacle has been detected comes on
despite no obstacle around the vehicle.
• If your vehicle has been involved in an
accident.
• If the graphic which indicates that an
obstacles has been detected remains
on without a beeping sound.
