Driving
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 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.

3344-6. Using the driving support systems
AURIS Touring Sports_EE (12L13E)■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
●Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: When the engine switch is
turned to the “LOCK” position
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: When the engine switch is turned
off
●If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The
EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assist control will
operate:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is in a position other than P or N
(when starting off forward/backward on an upward incline).
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is in a position other
than R when starting off forward on an upward incline or in R when starting
off backward on an upward incline.
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
●The parking brake is not engaged.
■Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will be canceled in any of the following situations:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when
starting off forward on an upward incline or from R when starting off back-
ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed.
●The parking brake is engaged.
●Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the brake pedal is released.

WARNING
■Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with 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, as doing so may
lead to an accident.
■When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
