Detection range of the sensors
Approximately 100 cm (3.2 ft.)
Approximately 150 cm (4.9 ft.)
Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that
the sensors cannot detect obsta-
cles that are extremely close to
the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape
of the object etc.
The Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
The Toyota parking assist-sensor switch is on.
Vehicles without smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in “ON” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system:
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Front center sensors:
• The shift lever is in a position other than “P” (Multidrive or automatic
transmission) or “R”.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
Front corner sensors:
• The shift lever is in a position other than “P” (Multidrive or automatic
transmission).
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).

When driving
Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The shift lever is in “R”.
Sensor detection information
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed below.
• 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.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled 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 shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
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-angles objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle

When the sensor acts abnormal or malfunctions
Customization that can be configured at any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.
(Customizable featuresP. 629)
CAUTION
Caution when using the Toyota 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 10 km/h (6 mph).
Do not attach any accessories within the sensor range.
When any of the sensors become dirty
or frozen, the abnormal sensor indica-
tor comes on and the buzzer sounds for
8 seconds. After sounding, all of the
sensor indicators will come on.
Clean the sensors with soft cloth.
When any of the sensors malfunction,
the malfunctioning sensor indicator
flashes and the buzzer will sound for 8
seconds. After sounding, all of the sen-
sor indicators will flash.
Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Sensor indicators

When driving
Hill-star t assist control
Hill-start assist control operating conditions
The hill-start assist control system operates under the following condi-
tions.
• The shift lever is in a position other than “P” (Multidrive or automatic
transmission).
• The parking brake is not applied.
• The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
The hill-start assist control system cannot be operated while the slip indi-
cator light is illuminated.
Hill-start assist control
While hill-start assist control is operating, the brakes remain automati-
cally applied after the driver releases the brake pedal. The stop lights and
the high mounted stoplight turn on.
Hill-start assist control operates for about 2 seconds after the brake pedal
is released.
If the slip indicator does not flash and the buzzer does not sound when
the brake pedal is further depressed, slightly reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal (do not allow the vehicle to roll backward) and then firmly
depress it again. If the system still does not operate, check if the operat-
ing conditions explained above have been met. Hill-start assist control helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting on an incline or slippery slope.
To engage hill-start assist con-
trol, further depress the brake
pedal when the vehicle is
stopped completely.
A buzzer will sound once to
indicate the system is acti-
vated. The slip indicator will
also start flashing.

294 2-4. Using other driving systems
Hill-start assist control buzzer
When hill-start assist control is activated, the buzzer will sound once.
In the following situations, hill-start assist control will be canceled and the
buzzer will sound twice.
• No attempt is made to drive the vehicle within approximately 2 seconds
of releasing the brake pedal.
• The shift lever is moved to “P” (Multidrive or automatic transmission).
• The parking brake is applied.
• The brake pedal is depressed again.
If the slip indicator comes on
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
CAUTION
Hill-start assist control
Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on extremely steep inclines or roads covered in ice.
Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline for an extended
period of time, as doing so may lead to an accident.
