The buzzer volume can be changed on the multi-information display
( → P. 121) when the power switch is in ON mode.
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Front center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Toyota parking assist monitor or pan-
oramic view monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upper
part of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ If “Parking Assist Unavailable Please Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the mult i-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.
■ Certification
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB-001 du Canada.
WARNING
■ When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The sensors’ 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 a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. 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.
● The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
● 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.
● There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicin-
ity.
● The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● The sensor is drenched wi th water on a flooded road.
● The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
● Towing eyelets are installed.
● The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
● The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
● The detection range is reduced due to an object such as a sign.
● In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
● The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
● If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
● A backlit license plate is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.

WARNING
■Obstacles which may not be properly detected
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay par-
ticular 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 clothing\
.
● Moving objects such as people or animals
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due t\
o a
sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
● The intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a buzzer 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 continuously without beeping, except when the buzzer
volume is muted.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even if 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.

If the hybrid system output restri ction control or brake control oper-

multi-information display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, hybrid system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.

●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices
which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wireless antenna
is installed near a sensor
● Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact
■ If a 12-volt battery terminal h as been disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more
at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■ If “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display and
the ICS OFF indicator is flashing
● A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow,
dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning mes-
sage may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object.
Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message continues to be displayed even after cleaning the sensor, or
is displayed even though the sensor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
● Initialization may not have been performed after a 12-volt battery terminal
was disconnected and reconnected. Initialize the system. ( →P. 323)
