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. (Wiping the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
● The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen, the screen may show an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.
● The sensor is covered in any way.
● In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather
● 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.
● The sensor is splashed with water or drenched with heavy rain.
● The sensor is drenched with water on a flooded road.
● The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
● The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
● The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
● The detection range is reduced due to an object such as a sign.
● The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
● If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
● The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
● There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicin-
ity.
● Towing eyelets are installed.
● A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are installed.
In addition to the examples above, depending on the shape and condition of
obstacles, detection may not be possible, or the detection range may be
shortened.

S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System)
The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System automatically operates
the steering wheel to provide support when backing into a target park-
ing spot, and when departing from a parallel parking spot. (Shift lever
operations and speed adjustment when moving forward or backing up
are not performed automatically.)
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support when
parking in parallel or perpendicular parking spaces, as well as pull-
ing out of parallel parking spaces.
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System provides steering
wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the targeted
parking spot. The selected intended parking spot may not always
be reachable, depending on road and vehicle conditions at the time
of parking.
