Simple-IPA (Simple-Intelligent Parking
Assist)

: If equipped
Simple-IPA is a system that assists parallel parking operations.
When parking between two parked vehicles or in the space
behind one parked vehicle, the sensors installed on the sides of
the front bumper are utilized and a space which the vehicle can
be parked in is detected. Parking operations are then assisted
by automatic operation of the steering wheel.

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. 250
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.

CAUTION
Conditions in which the use of Simple-IPA is prohibited
Do not use Simple-IPA under the following conditions.
Doing so may cause improper operation and lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
On sharp bends or slopes.
On slippery or icy roads, or in snow.
On uneven road surfaces such as gravel.
During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a sandstorm.
When the tires are extremely worn or tire pressure is low.
When the vehicle has improper wheel alignment due to tires having
received a strong impact such as bumping against a curb.
When the compact spare tire (if equipped) or snow chains are installed.
When the tires slid while attempting to park.
When fallen leaves or snow is in a parking space.
When items such as a towing bracket, trailer, bicycle carrier, etc. are
installed on the rear of the vehicle.
When a vehicle of which the front/rear end is above the detection area,
such as a truck, bus or vehicle with a towing bracket, trailer, bicycle carrier,
etc., is parked at the front or rear of the parking space.
If the front bumper has been damaged.
If the sensor is covered by the front bumper cover, etc.
If a vehicle or obstacle is not in a suitable position at the front or rear of the
parking space.
Automatic steering precautions
As the steering wheel moves automatically in the parking assist function, be
aware of the following point.
Keep clothing such as neckties, scarves and long sleeves away from the
steering wheel, as they may become entangled. Also, keep children away
from the steering wheel.
If you have long fingernails, be careful not to injure yourself when the
steering wheel moves.

NOTICE
When using the Simple-IPA
Check that the parking space is suitable. (Width of the space, if there are
any obstacles, road surface condition, etc.)
Simple-IPA will not operate properly if the vehicle at the front or back of the
parking space moves, or if an obstacle enters the parking space after the
sensors have detected the parking space. Always check the surrounding
area during parking assist operation.
The sensors may not be able to detect curbs. The vehicle may drive onto
the curb depending on the situation, such as if a vehicle at the front or
back of the parking space has driven on the curb.
Check the surrounding area to prevent the tires and wheels from being
damaged.
The vehicle may not be able to be parked at a target parking space if the
vehicle moves forward when the shift lever is in R or reverses when the
shift lever is in a position other than R, such as when parking on a slope.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting an obstacle in the
front of the vehicle.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting the vehicle parked in
front of the parking space.

3946-1. Maintenance and care
Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)
CAUTION
When cleaning the windshield (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield
wipers)
When the upper part of the windshield where the raindrop sensor is
located is touched by hand
When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor
If something bumps against the windshield
If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate unexpectedly in the fol-
lowing situations, and may result in
hands being caught or other serious inju-
ries and cause damage to the wiper
blades.
