■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such cases, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■ Customization
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.

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.

WARNING
■Side sensors
In the following situations, the Toyota parking assist-sensor 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. 438)
● 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. 433) 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
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
● 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.

●Influence from other sonic waves
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or parking assist-
sensor of another vehicle, a vehicle detector, a motorcycle engine or the
air brake of a large vehicle
• Electronic components (such as a backlit license plate (especially fluo-
rescent types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wireless antenna) are
installed near the sensors
●Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the carried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact

■When removing and installing the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight ahead for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or higher.
■When “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the ICS OFF indicator flashes
●Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures due to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
●If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
●System initialization may not have been performed after removal and instal-
lation of the 12-volt battery. Perform system initialization.
■When “ICS Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, the ICS OFF indicator flashes and the buzzer sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.

■Intelligent Clearance Sonar function while the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
restriction control and brake control of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func-
tion are operated, regardless of whether the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func-
tion is on or off. (P. 445)
●After the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates, operation of the
Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is temporarily stopped, and opera-
tion of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is indicated on the multi-
information display. (P. 449)
●When operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is stopped 3
times by operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function, the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System is canceled.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after
the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is operated, a message prompting
you to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Operation of the
Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System can be resumed by shifting accord-
ing to the prompt on the multi-information display and pressing the S-IPA
switch (P. 459) again.
■Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
If the system determines that the drivers intends to move forward or in
reverse, assistance continues even if the drivers shifted before being
prompted to do so by the system. However, because driver operation differs
from the guidance provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers
may increase.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. the obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable
features: P. 708)
