Driving
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
■ Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the rear view monitor system, Multi-ter-
rain Monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upper corner 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.
● 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 vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• 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.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
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.

■The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when
● The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The shift lever is in the N position.
● The vehicle is stopped completely.
■ The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between H4 and L4.
■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
●If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the
2 range of S while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake
can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the driver to
control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use the 1 range of S of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
■ The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
■ The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h).
■ Locking/unlocking the center differential
●When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and
VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)
● If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks.
If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential,
drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
● If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while
the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.
■ If the low speed four-wheel drive indi cator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks
● If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move
the shift lever to N and operate the switch again.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to
N, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).

Driving
●If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control
system may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer press the
switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may
be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive sys-
tem. In this case, you may not be able to shift between H4 and L4, and the
center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer immediately.
WARNING
■ While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost t\
rac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the center differential
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock/unlock switch when the vehicle is
turning or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

■When the brake system op erates continuously
The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, the TRAC
OFF indicator will flash, and Multi-terrain Select will be temporarily inopera-
ble. In this event, stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the
brake system to cool down sufficiently. (There is no problem with continuing
normal driving.)
After a short time, the TRAC OFF indicator will go off, and you will be able to
use Multi-terrain Select.
■ When there is a malfunction in the system
The slip indicator light will come on. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
WARNING
■When using the Multi-terrain Select
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries:
● There is a chance that the selected mode may not be the most appropriate
in terms of road conditions such as pitch, slipperiness, undulation, etc.
(→P. 296)
● Multi-terrain Select is not intended to expand the limits of the vehicle.
Check the road conditions thoroughly beforehand, and drive safely and
carefully.

■Panoramic view
● In the panoramic view, the system combines images taken from the front,
back, left and right side cameras into a single image. There are limits to
the range and content that can be displayed. Understand the characteris-
tics of this system before using.
● Image clarity may decline at the four corners of the panoramic view. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction, as these are the regions along the border of
each camera image where the images are combined.
● Depending on lighting conditions near each of the cameras, bright and
dark patches may appear on the panoramic view.
● The panoramic view display does not extend higher than the installation
position and image capture range of each camera.
● There are blind spots around the vehicle and there are regions that are not
displayed in the panoramic view.
● Three-dimensional objects displayed in wide front view or rear view may
not be displayed in the panoramic view.
● People and other three-dimensional obstacles may appear differently
when displayed in the panoramic view. (These differences include, among
others, cases in which displayed objects appear to have fallen over, disap-
pear near image processing areas, appear from image processing areas,
or when the actual distance to an object differs from the displayed posi-
tion.)
● The panoramic view will not be properly displayed when either front door
or the back door is open.
● The vehicle icon displayed in the panoramic view is a computer generated
image, and properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the
actual vehicle. Therefore, nearby th ree-dimensional objects may appear to
be touching the vehicle, and actual distances to three-dimensional objects
may differ from those displayed.

■Panoramic view display range
●In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images acquired
form the 4 cameras under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road
surface. Therefore, the display may appear as follows.
• Three-dimensional objects may appear to have fallen over, and be long
and thin or bigger than they actually are
• Three-dimensional objects at a point higher than the surface of the road
may appear further away than they actually are, or may not appear
• Tall objects may appear to emerge from the image processing seams
● Inconsistencies in the brightness of images from each camera may occur
depending on lighting conditions.
● The displayed image may not be aligned when the tilt or height of the vehi-
cle changed due to the number of passengers, cargo weight or remaining
quantity of gasoline.
● Images and guide lines may not be properly displayed when the doors are
not completely closed.
● The relative distances between the vehicle icon and road surface or an
obstacle displayed in the panoramic view may differ from the actual state.
● If an illuminated license plate is used, it may appear on the screen.
● The black area around the vehicle icon is an area that is not appear in the
camera. Check these areas directly.
■ Wide front view display range
●Certain areas at the front of the vehicle have a different sense of distance,
and are masked in black so that they do not appear on the screen.
● There are limits to the range displayed on the screen. Objects at either cor-
ner of the bumper or directly below the bumper are not displayed.
● The perceived distance in images displayed on the screen differs from the
actual distance.
■ Images displayed on the screen
Cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system use special lenses. The distance
of the image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance. ●The circled areas shown in the illustra-
tion may be difficult to see, as these are
points where images are combined.
