CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRAC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
■Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may
lead to an accident.
■When the TRAC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not overly rely on the Secondary Collision Brake. This system is
designed to help reduce the possibility of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various conditions.
Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious injury.

CAMRY_U (01999-06122)■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 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.
■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 with 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.

3224-5. Using the driving support systems
CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
The system will operate in situations such as the following if an object
is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
◆When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late
Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS)∗
∗: If equipped
If a collision with an object may occur due to the vehicle sud-
denly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal
operation, the vehicle moving the unintended direction due to
the wrong shift position being selected, or while parking or trav-
eling at low speeds, the sensors detect objects, such as a wall,
in the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the system operates
to lessen an impact with an object and reduce the resulting dam-
age.

CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
If a radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and a collision may occur, this function will per-
form brake control to reduce the likelihood of an impact with the
approaching vehicle.
■Examples of system operation
The system will operate in situations such as the following if an
object is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
◆When reversing, a vehicle is approaching and the brake pedal
is not depressed, or is depressed late

CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
If the engine output restriction control or brake control operates, a
buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, engine output restriction control will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.

If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function detects that a collision with
an object is possible, the engine output will be restricted to restrain
any increase in the vehicle speed. (Engine output restriction control:
See A below.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal continues to be depressed, the
brakes will be applied automatically to reduce the vehicle speed.
(Brake control: See B below.)
