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.

DISTORTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS ON THE
SCREEN
When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) nearby
in positions higher than the surface of the road, take extra care when using the fol-
lowing.
PANORAMIC VIEW DISPLAY (INCLUDING MAGNIFIED DISPLAY)
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there
is room between the bumpers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the
image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.

● When the intuitive parking assist display is red or the buzzer continuously sounds, be
sure to check directly and do not proceed any further. An unexpected accident may
occur, such as a vehicle collision.

Estimated course line
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.

●When the intuitive parking assist display
is red or the buzzer continuously
sounds, be sure to check directly and do
not proceed any further. An unexpected
accident may occur, such as a vehicle
collision.
ESTIMATED COURSE LINES
Since the estimated course line is dis-
played for a flat road surface, it can not
depict the position of three-dimension-
al objects (such as vehicle bumpers,
etc.) that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. Even if the
bumpers of the vehicle is on the out-
side of the estimated course line in the
image, in reality, the vehicles are on a
collision course.

Estimated course lines
Three-dimensional objects (such as
the overhang of a wall or loading plat-
form of a truck) in high positions may
not be projected on the screen. Check
the safety of the surroundings directly.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.

MAGNIFYING FUNCTION
When the panoramic view is magni-
fied, walls and lines on the road on the
magnified panoramic view display may
look more distorted than those on the
normal panoramic view display.
INFORMATION
● When the panoramic view is magnified,
guide lines will not be displayed.

8. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the
solution, 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
camera
• The vehicle is under fluo-
rescent lights, sodium
lights, mercury lights etc.Back up while visually check-
ing the vehicle’s surround-
ings. (Use the monitor again
once conditions have been
improved.)
The procedure for adjusting
the picture quality of the pan-
oramic view monitor system
is the same as the procedure
for adjusting the navigation
screen. ( →P.41)
The image is blurryDirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud
etc.) is adhering to the cam-
era.Flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.

out of alignmentThe 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 visually check-
ing the vehicle’s surround-
ings.

ing wheel is straightThere is a malfunction in the
signals being output by the
steering sensor.Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.

If this does not resolve the
symptom, have the vehicle in-
spected by your Toyota deal-
er.

moved while the 12-volt
battery was being reinstalled.
• 12-volt battery power is low.
