The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width guide lines may not actually be par-
allel with the dividing lines of the parking
space, even when they appear to be so.
Be sure to check visually.
 The distances between the vehicle width
guide lines and the left and right dividing
lines of the parking space may not be
equal, even when they appear to be so.
Be sure to check visually.
 The distance guide lines give a distance
guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the
following situations, there is a margin of
error between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance /course on
the road.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE SCREEN AND THE
ACTUAL ROADWHEN THE GROUND BEHIND
THE VEHICLE SLOPES UP
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they ac-
tually are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the
guidelines and the actual distance/
course on the road.

WHEN THE GROUND BEHIND
THE VEHICLE SLOPES DOWN
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be farther from the vehicle than the ac-
tual distance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than they actu-
ally are. In the same way, there will be
a margin of error between the guide-
lines and the actual distance/course on
the road.WHEN ANY PART OF THE
VEHICLE SAGS
When any part of the vehicle sags due
to the number of passengers or the dis-
tribution of the load, there is a margin
of error between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance/course
on the road.
WHEN APPROACHING
THREE-DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS
The estimated course lines target flat
surfaced objects (such as the road). It
is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) using the estimated
course lines and distance guide lines.
When approaching a three-dimension-
al object that extends outward (such as
the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the
following.

 Estimated course lines
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 farthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to A and C is the
same, and B is farther than A and C.

5. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the so-
lution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
IF YOU NOTICE ANY SYMPTOMS
SymptomLikely causeSolution
The image is difficult to see
The vehicle is in a dark area
 The temperature around the
lens is either high or low
 The outside temperature is
low
 There are water droplets on
the camera
 It is raining or humid
 Foreign matter (mud etc.) is
adhering to the camera
 Sunlight or headlights are
shining directly into the cam-
era
 The vehicle is under fluores-
cent lights, sodium lights,
mercury lights etc.
Back up while visually check-
ing the vehicle’s surroundings.
(Use the monitor again once
conditions have been im-
proved.)
The procedure for adjusting
the picture quality of the park-
ing assist monitor is the same
as the procedure for adjusting
the navigation screen. ( P.41)
The image is blurry
Dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud
etc.) is adhering to the camera.Flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.
The image is out of
alignmentThe camera or surrounding
area has received a strong im-
pact.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
The guide lines are very far
out of alignment
The camera position is out of
alignment.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
The vehicle is tilted. (There
is a heavy load on the vehi-
cle, tire pressure is low due
to a tire puncture, etc.)
 The vehicle is used on an
incline.If this happens due to these
causes, it does not indicate a
malfunction. Back up while vi-
sually checking the vehicle’s
surroundings.
The estimated course lines
move even though the
steering wheel is straightThere is a malfunction in the
signals being output by the
steering sensor.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
Guide lines are not
displayedThe back door is open.
Close the back door.
If this does not resolve the

The distance to obstacles measured
by the sensors is communicated via
the display and a buzzer when parallel
parking or maneuvering into a garage.
Always check the surrounding area
when using this system.

detect obstacles that are extremely close
to the vehicle.
 The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object etc. 

 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 eyelets are installed.
 A bumper or sensor receives a strong

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.
