: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.

Sensor detection information
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the 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 ultra-
sonic 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 wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved 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 shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be
closer than they are.
The shape of the obstacle may prevent the 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 projecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle

Driving
Operate Simple-IPA according to the multi-information display and the
buzzer.
The system detects parking spaces on the front passenger’s side of the
vehicle and assists with parking in a detected space.
When parking in a space on the driver’s side of the vehicle, move the turn
signal lever to indicate turning on the driver’s seat side. Leave the turn sig-
nal lever in that position until automatic steering begins.
Turn the Simple-IPA switch on
with the vehicle driving at 30
km/h (18 mph) or less.
The multi-information display
changes to the parking space
detection screen when the system
is operating.
Drive the vehicle while main-
taining a distance of approxi-
mately 1 m (3 ft.) from the
parked vehicles.
Drive the vehicle as parallel to the
parked vehicles and curb as possi-
ble.
Lower vehicle speeds allow the
system to assist in parking the
vehicle more parallel to the parked
vehicles and curb, and in a more
proper position between vehicles
at the front and rear of a parking
space.
The required length for a parking
space to be detected is the total
vehicle length plus approximately 1
m (3 ft.).
Maintain a vehicle speed of 30
km/h (18 mph) or less.

When the multi-information dis-
play changes, reduce the vehi-
cle speed.
Move the vehicle forward slowly
until the buzzer sounds.
Stop the vehicle when the
buzzer sounds.
The multi-information display will
change.
Visually check that the detected
space is safe for parking.
If the vehicle moves 10 m (32 ft.) or
more after the buzzer sounds,
detection of a new parking space
will begin.
