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.

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.

3104-5. Using the driving support systems
Using the GAIN (+/-) selection
buttons, set a starting gain of
5.0.
While driving 20 - 25 mph [35 - 40 km/h], fully apply the
manual
TRAILER BRAKE OUTPUT
slider.
Adjust the gain setting, using t he GAIN (+/-) selection buttons , to
either increase or decrease to j ust below the point of trailer wheel
lock-up.
For confirmation, repeat steps and until desired gain setting
is reached (just below point of trailer wheel lock-up).
■ When using the trailer brake control system
Please turn off the intuitive parking assist while towing a tra iler. If left on,
sonar sensors will detect the trailer being towed.
■ When setting the gain
Wheel lock-up occurs when the trailer wheel squeals or tire smo ke occurs.
Trailer wheels may not lock-up while driving heavily loaded trailer. During this
case, adjust the Trailer gain to the highest allowable setting for the towing
condition.
■ When disconnecting and reco nnecting battery terminals
The gain setting data will be reset.

When trouble arises
Front passenger’s seat belt buzzer:
The front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the front passenger
that his or her seat belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds on ce if the
vehicle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). If the seat belt is sill unfas-
tened after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently fo r 10 seconds.
Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sou nd in a different
tone for 20 more seconds.
*2: Parking brake engaged warning buzzer:
A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven at a speed of approximately
3 mph (5 km/h) or more.
■ SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front impact
sensors, side impact sensors (front door), side impact sensors (rear), driver’s
seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occu-
pant classification system (ECU and sensors), “AIR BAG ON” indi cator light,
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light, front passenger’s seat belt buck le switch, seat
belt pretensioners assemblies, airbags, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. ( P. 40)
■ Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warnin g
buzzer
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front pas senger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warnin g buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
