1664-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Do  not  leave  a  door  or  window  open  if  the  curved  glass  is  coate d  with  a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunligh t may cause
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
● Always  apply  the  parking  brake,  shift  the  shift  lever  to  P,  stop  the  engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running .
If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the park ing brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an acci dent.
● Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or i mmediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
● 4WD  models:  If  the  shift  lever  is  moved  before  the  “4LO”  indicator  turns
on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The tr ansfer mode
disengages  both  the  front  and  rear  driveshafts  from  the  powertrain  and
allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (A t 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. ( P. 296)
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always  turn  the  engine  off.  Otherwise,  if  you  accidentally  move  the  shift
lever  or depress  the accelerator  pedal, this  could  cause  an  acc ident or  fire
due  to  engine  overheating. Additionally,  if  the  vehicle  is  park ed  in  a  poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicl e, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.
■ When braking
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this ma y cause
one  side  of  the  vehicle  to  brake  differently  than  the  other  sid e. Also,  the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If  the  power  brake  assist  function  does  not  operate,  do  not  fol low  other
vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require br aking. 
In  this  case,  braking  is  still  possible,  but  the  brake  pedal  sh ould  be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance wi ll increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately. 
● Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
● The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the
systems  fails,  the  other  will  still  operate.  In  this  case,  the  brake  pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking dist ance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Intuitive parking assist
■Types of sensors
■Intuitive parking assist switch
Turns  the  intuitive  parking
assist on/off
When  on,  the  indicator  light
comes  on  to  inform  the  driver
that the system is operational.
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel  parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by  the
sensors  and  communicated  via  t he  multi-information  display
and buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using this
system.

When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approx-
imate distance to the o bstacle are displayed and the buzzer sou nds.

■Sensor operation and di stance to an obstacle
The system operates when the vehi cle approaches an obstacle, as
shown by the following table.
When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzze r sys-

Driving
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The shift lever is not in P or R and vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph
(10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The shift lever is in R.
■ If the display flashes and a message is displayed
P. 557, 558
■ Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
WARNING
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failure  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  t he  brake  to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas. 

2744-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Sensor detection information
Pay particular attention to the following instances in where th is may occur.
Failing to do so way result in the vehicle being unable to be d riven or parked
safety and possibly cause an accident.
● The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front corner and rear bumpers.
● Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability  of  the  sensor  to  correctly  detect  obstacles.  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 prob lem.)
• 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,  mot orcycle
engines,  air  brakes  of  large  vehicles,  or  other  loud  noises  pro ducing
ultrasonic 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 radio 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.
• A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are insta lled.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types a nd color-
ing of clothing.
• People, animals, and moving objects may not be able to be detected.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which , because of
their  shape,  signs  and  other  objects  may  be  judged  by  the  senso r  to  be
closer than they are.
