■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control starting position, and then the parallel
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist
control is also provided if necessary.
Continue moving forward
with the vehicle parallel to
the curb or road, and stop so
that the center of the target
parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle.
Then press the S-IPA switch
1 time to select the parallel
parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position where assist control can be used to
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the side of the
road across from the parking space) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.

■Function summary
Stop so that the center of the target parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle. If the space is detectable, the forward
guidance function can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist
control is also provided if necessary.
Stop so that the center of the
target parking spot appears
nearly perpendicular to the
vehicle. Then press the S-
IPA switch 2 times to select
back-in parking assist mode.
Steering wheel auto opera-
tion starts when the vehicle
begins to move.
A sound is issued and a dis-
play is shown to notify you
when the vehicle reaches the
position to start backing up
from.
If the detected parking space or
road width (distance to the side
of the road across from the park-
ing space) is narrow, or if there
are obstacles in front of the vehi-
cle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, guidance to starting
points for moving forward and backing up, as well as the steering wheel
auto operation, are repeated any time multi-turn maneuvering is neces-
sary following step from the time the vehicle begins backing up until
parking completes.

Assist control is started while the steering wheel is
held.
Rest your hands on the steering wheel with-
out applying any force. Assist control will
start.
The vehicle is moved and assist control is started
while the steering wheel is held.
Stop the vehicle and follow the guidance pro-
vided by the system to start assist control.
The S-IPA switch is operated when there is not
enough space to the front and rear of the vehicle
when departing from a parallel parking spot.
The vehicle cannot depart using assist con-
trol as there is not enough space to the front
and rear of the vehicle. Confirm the safety of
your surroundings before departing.
The S-IPA switch is operated in an area where there
are no obstacles to the front of the vehicle, or there
are obstacles to the sides and the vehicle cannot
depart from the parallel parking spot.
Assist control cannot be used for departure,
as there are obstacles to the sides of the vehi-
cle or departure can easily be performed man-
ually. Confirm the safety of your surroundings
before departing.
The S-IPA switch is operated in an area with no
parking spaces, or operated in an area where the
road width for parking is narrow.
Assist control cannot be used, as there is no
parking space. Proceed to a parking space
which width is approximately 2.6 m (8.5 ft.) or
larger.
Assist control cannot be used, as the road
width is narrow. Proceed to a parking space
where the road width is approximately 4.5 m
(15 ft.) or larger.

Wheels
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
●Used wheels
●Bent wheels that have been straightened
●Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
●When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
●Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
●Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
