●Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the carried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact
■ In the unlikely event that the Intellig ent Clearance Sonar function mistak-
enly operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function mis-
takenly operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the
area. Furthermore, brake control is also canceled when the brake pedal is
depressed. Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
■ Situations in which the system may not operate normally
In the following situations, the system may not operate normally.
●Environmental influence
• There is an obstacle that cannot be detected between the vehicle and
another obstacle that can be detected
• An obstacle such as another vehicle, a motorcycle, a bicycle or a pedes-
trian cuts in front of the vehicle or jumps out from the side.
● Influence from the weather
• Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to the sensor (if removed, the system
returns to normal)
• Heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sand storm • The area around the sensor is extremely hot or cold
• The wind is strong

●Influence from other sonic waves
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or clearance sonar
of another vehicle, a vehicle detector, a motorcycle engine or the air
brake of a large vehicle
• Electronic components (such as a backlit license plate (especially fluo- rescent types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wireless antenna) are
installed near the sensors
● Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the carried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact

■ When removing and installi ng the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight ahead for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or higher.
■ When “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the ICS OFF indicator flashes
● Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures due to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
● System initialization may not have been performed after removal and instal-
lation of the 12-volt battery. Perform system initialization.
■ When “ICS Malfunction Visit Your Deal er” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, the ICS OFF indi cator flashes and the buzzer sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■For safe use
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Intelli-
gent Clearance Sonar function can provide support to lessen the severity
of collisions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
● The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Intelligent Clearance
Sonar function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
■ In order for the system to operate properly
Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the sensors
(→ P. 352). Failure to observe these precautions may cause the sensors
not to operate properly, and may result in an unexpected accident.
● Do not perform work such as modification, disassembly or painting
● Only perform replacements using genuine parts
● Do not subject the area around the sensors to any impacts
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incline of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from correctly detecting obstacles, may
cause the system not operate, or may cause the system to operate unnec-
essarily.

S-APGS (Simple Adva nced Parking Guidance
System)
∗
■Function summary
The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System automatically
operates the steering wheel to provide support when backing into
an area near a target parking spot, and when departing from a par-
allel parking spot. (Shift lever operations and speed adjustment
when moving forward or backing up are not performed automati-
cally.)
● The Simple Advanced Parking Gu idance System does not park
the vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support
when pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot.
● The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System provides steer-
ing wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the
selected intended parking spot. The selected intended parking
spot may not always be reach able, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of parking, and the distance to the
intended parking spot.
■Linking with the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating,
if the system detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, the
emergency brakes operat e, regardless of whether the Intelligent
Clearance Sonar function is on or off. ( →P. 365)
∗: If equipped

WARNING
●When backing up or proceeding forward, be sure to directly confirm the
safety of the area to the front or rear, and the area around the vehicle, and
slowly back up or proceed forward while adjusting the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-APGS switch ( →P. 366) to turn the system off.

■Intelligent Clearance Sonar function while the Simple Advanced Parking
Guidance System is operating
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating, if the sys-
tem detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
suppression control and brake control of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func-
tion are operated, regardless of whether the Intelligent Clearance Sonar\
func-
tion is on or off. ( →P. 352)
● After the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates, operation of th\
e
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is temporarily stopped, and
operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is indicated on the
multi-information display. ( →P. 356)
● When operation of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is
stopped 3 times by operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function, the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is canceled.
● Once the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System becomes available
after the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is operated, a message
prompting you to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Opera-
tion of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System can be resumed by
shifting according to the prompt on the multi-information display and press-
ing the S-APGS switch ( →P. 366) again.
■ Shifting while the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operat-
ing
If the system determines that the drivers intends to move forward or in
reverse, assistance continues even if the drivers shifted before being
prompted to do so by the system. However, because driver operation differs
from the guidance provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers
may increase.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. Obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: →P. 777)
