WARNING
■Handling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor sensor is installed inside the left and right side of
the vehicle rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the
Blind Spot Monitor can function correctly.
If the warning message does not disappear, have the vehicle inspected
by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off position, the system may malfunction
and vehicles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have your vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is scratched or dented, or part of
them has become disconnected.
● Do not disassemble the sensor.
● Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
● Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
● Do not paint the rear bumper any color other than an official Toyota color.
●Keep the sensor and its surrounding
area on the bumper clean at all times. If
a sensor or its surrounding area on the
rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not
operate and a warning message
( P. 394) will be displayed.
In this situation, clear off the dirt or
snow and drive the vehicle with the
operation conditions of the BSM func-
tion ( P. 400) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.

Toyota parking assist-sensor
: 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.

This system can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display.
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select .
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select .
Press on the meter control
switches to enable/disable the
system.
When enabled, the Toyota park-
ing assist-sensor indicator will
illuminate.
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain OFF until it is
turned ON again via the screen of the multi-information display. (The
system will not automatically turn ON even when the engine is restarted.)
When the sensors detect an obstacle, a graphic is shown on the multi
information display depending on the position and distance to the
obstacle.

When a sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approxi-
mate distance to the obstacle are displayed and the buzzer sounds.
The volume and timing of the buzzer can be changed. ( P. 776)

■The Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● Front corner sensors/front center sensors:
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
● Front side sensors/rear side sensors:
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
• Steering wheel is turned approximately 90° or more
● Rear corner sensors/rear center sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
● The sensor detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle bum-
pers.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.

■ Side area obstacle warning function
Obstacle notified (within the vehicle course)
● Only when obstacles on the sides are in the vehicle course will the driver be
notified (display and buzzer).
● Although the display operates while the vehicle is stopped or moving, the
buzzer only sounds during movement.
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart
entry & start system), scanning completes after driving the vehicle for a
short period of time. The operation disp lay is grayed out until the scans are
completed.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected even after it
has left the side sensor detection area.
■ If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In this case, clean the
sensor and the system should return to normal.
If a sensor is frozen due to low temperatures, a warning message may be dis-
played or an obstacle may not be detected. When the sensor thaws out, the
system should return to normal.
When an obstacle in the side areas is
within the vehicle course while the vehicle
is moving forward or backward, this func-
tion inform the driver by the display and
the buzzer.

cle course)
