■Operation conditions of Simple-IPA
●The engine is started.
● The switch is on.
● The vehicle speed is 30 km/h (18 mph) or less. (During automatic steering,
the vehicle speed is 6 km/h [3 mph] or less.)
■ Canceling of the Simple-IPA operation
Simple-IPA operation will be canceled when:
●The Simple-IPA switch is turned off.
● The ABS, VSC or TRC is operating.
● The shift lever is shifted to R during detection of a parking space.
● The shift lever is shifted to R and the vehicle is reversed 1 m (3 ft.) or more
after a parking space has been detected and before the buzzer sounds.
● The steering wheel is operated m anually during automatic steering.
● It takes more than 6 minutes for automatic steering to begin after the Sim-
ple-IPA switch is turned on and the shift lever is shifted to R.
● The shift lever is shifted to a position other than R after the automatic steer-
ing began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.
● It takes more than 6 minutes to complete parking after the shift lever was
shifted to R and automatic steering began.
● The total stop time during automatic steering exceeds 2 minutes.
■ Resume function of Simple-IPA
If Simple-IPA is canceled due to one of the following operations, Simple-IPA
operation may be able to be resumed by pressing the Simple-IPA switch
depending on conditions such as the vehicle stopped position and steering
wheel angle.
●The steering wheel is operated m anually during automatic steering.
● The vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h (3 mph) during automatic steering.
● The shift lever is moved to a position other than R after the automatic steer-
ing began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.
If operation is not resumed, park the vehicle manually or detect another park-
ing space.

■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 is turned off while Simple-IPA is acti-
vated, 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 operat e 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 w hen 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. 305
■ 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 qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING
■ 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.
■ 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 suit able 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 t he 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.

Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter
Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter is performed as necessary in
accordance with driving conditions.
■Equipment characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
●
Idle speed increases during cleaning
● The smell of the exhaust gas changes
● When starting the engine, white-colored steam (water vapor)
may be expelled during cleaning
● Acceleration performance may degrade during cleaning
■Replacing the engine oil
→ P. 469
Diesel par ticulate filter system (diesel
engine only)
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically cleaned.
WARNING
■ Exhaust pipe
Do not touch the exhaust pipe during cleaning, as the exhaust pipe and
exhaust gases will become particularly hot. Also, make sure that there are
no people or flammable materials near the exhaust pipe while the vehicle is
stopped.
Failure to do so may cause injury by burning or a fire.

◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
◆TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on
an incline
◆EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to
turn the steering wheel
◆Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied suddenly, the emergency flashers
automatically flash to alert the vehicle behind.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.
