■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
The system may not operate due to the malfunction of a sensor.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Customization
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 776)
WARNING
■When using Toyota parking assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions to avoid an unexpected accident.
● Do not exceed the speed limit of 10 km/h (6 mph).
● The sensor detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially
the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

WARNING
■Sensors
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
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.

WARNING
■Side sensors
In the following situations, the clearance sonar may not operate normally
and may result in an unexpected accident. Drive carefully.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the vehicle is driven
for a short time and a scan of the side areas is completed. ( P. 415)
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles such as
other vehicles, people or animals that approach from the sides cannot be
detected.
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles may not be
detected depending on the surrounding situation of the vehicle.
At that time, the side sensor operation displays ( P. 409) temporary turn
off.
■ Obstacles which may not be properly detected
● The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
• Moving objects such as people or animals

NOTICE
■When using Toyota parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Toyota parking assist-sensor operation display flashes, and a beep
sounds when no obstacles are detected.
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
● If the bumper collides with something.
● If the display shows up and remains on without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■ Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.

■Switching using the S-IPA switch
Press the switch
This allows you to switch func-
tions and cancel or restart assist
modes.
While the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without a smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with a smart entry & start system), the vehicle speed is approx-
imately 40 km/h (25 mph) or less, each time the S-IPA switch is
pressed the function switches as follows.
The selected function is indicated on the operation display area of the
multi-information display. ( P. 425)

■ S-IPA indicator inside the meter (P. 422)
This indicator illuminates when the steering wheel auto operation is being
performed by the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System. After control
ends, the indicator blinks for a short period of time and then turns off.
■ Clearance sonar pop-up display
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating the steering wheel
automatically, if the clearance sonar function detects an obstacle, the clearance
sonar display automatically pops up on the guidance screen ( P. 409), regard-
less of whether the clearance sonar function is on or off ( P. 409).
■ Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
The assist will continue even when the shift is operated with no regard to the
forward/reverse directions from the system. However, it will switch over,
increasing the number of turn maneuvers, and may deviate from the parking
position.

■Parking
Press the S-IPA switch 1 time
and check that the display on
the multi-information display
switches to parallel parking
assist mode.
Turn the S-IPA switch on while
driving the vehicle at 30 km/h
(18 mph) or less. The multi-
information display changes to
the parking space detection
screen when the system is oper-
ating.
Drive the vehicle while main-
taining a distance of approxi-
mately 1 m (3.3 ft.) from the
parked vehicles.
Proceed slowly.
The system will begin searching
for a parking space.
While searching for a space, the
turn signal lever ( P. 255) can
be operated to select a parking
space on the left or right.
When a parking space is
detected, the screen will
change.
