■Operation conditions of Simple-IPA
● The hybrid system is started.
● The switch is on.
● The vehicle speed is 30 km/h (18 mph) or less. (During automatic steering,
the vehicle speed is 6 km/h [3 mph] or less.)
■ Canceling of the Simple-IPA operation
Simple-IPA operation will be canceled when:
● The Simple-IPA switch is turned off.
● The ABS, VSC, VSC+ or TRC is operating.
● The shift position is shifted to R during detection of a parking space.
● The shift position is shifted to R and the vehicle is reversed 1 m (3 ft.) or
more after a parking space has been detected and before the buzzer
sounds.
● The steering wheel is operated manually during automatic steering.
● It takes more than 6 minutes for automatic steering to begin after the Sim-
ple-IPA switch is turned on and the shift position is shifted to R.
● The shift position is moved to a position other than R after the automatic
steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.
● It takes more than 6 minutes to complete parking after the shift position was
shifted to R and automatic steering began.
● The total stop time during automatic steering exceeds 2 minutes.
■ Resume function of Simple-IPA
If Simple-IPA is canceled due to one of the following operations, Simple-IPA
operation may be able to be resumed by pressing the Simple-IPA switch
depending on conditions such as the vehicle stopped position and steering
wheel angle.
● The steering wheel is operated manually during automatic steering.
● The vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h (3 mph) during automatic steering.

■ Toyota parking assist-sensor operation during Simple-IPA operation
Even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor is turned off while Simple-IPA is acti-
vated, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will keep operating. In this case,
when Simple-IPA operation is complete or canceled, the Toyota parking
assist-sensor will be deactivated.
■ When the cabin temperature is high
The sensors may not work properly when the cabin temperature is high due
to parking the vehicle in the sun. Use Simple-IPA after the cabin cools down.
■ Sensors used by Simple-IPA
P. 284
■ Initializing Simple-IPA
Within 15 seconds of turning the Simple-IPA switch on, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left or right and then to the opposite side.
When the parking space detection screen is displayed, the initialization is
complete.
If pressing the Simple-IPA switch again still shows “IPA not available, stop the
vehicle, turn wheel from left end to ri ght end.” on the multi-information display,
the initialization has failed. Have the vehicle inspected at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of Simple-IPA
● Never depend on the Simple-IPA entirely when parking. The driver is
responsible for safety. Use caution, just as you would when parking any
vehicle.
● Back up slowly, using the brake pedal to control the vehicle's speed.
● If it seems likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, or people, depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and the disable the system.

◆ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake System)
The electronically controlled system generates braking force corre-
sponding to the brake operation
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
◆VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Control+)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controllin g steering performance.
◆TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on
an incline
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.
