NOTICE
■Preventing sensor malfunctions
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, equipment may not
operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System)
■Function summary
The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System automatically oper-
ates the steering wheel to provide support when backing into an
area near a target parking spot, and when departing from a parallel
parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adjustment
when moving forward or backing up are not performed automati-
cally.)
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist 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 Intelligent Parking Assist System provides steering
wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the
selected intended parking spot. The selected intended parking
spot may not always be reachable, 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 Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if
the system detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, the
emergency brakes operate, regardless of whether the Intelligent
Clearance Sonar function is on or off. ( P. 485)
