■The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function will operate when
The function will operate when the ICS OFF indicator is not ill uminated or
flashing ( P. 322, 330) and all of the following conditions are met:
● Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is an object in the traveling direction of the vehicle a nd 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The system determines that a stronger-than-normal brake operat ion is
necessary to avoid a collision.
● Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The system determines that an emergency brake operation is nec essary
to avoid a collision.
■ The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function will stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the following condit ions are met:
● Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• The object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction
of the vehicle.
● Brake control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is disabled.
• Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the vehicle is stopped by brake
control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by b rake con-
trol.
• The object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■ Detection range of the Intellig ent Clearance Sonar function
The detection range of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 314)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obje ct and provides a
warning, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may not start operating.
■ If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Intelligent C learance Sonar
function, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system will be disabl ed and the ICS
OFF indicator will illuminate.

■Re-enabling the Intellig ent Clearance Sonar system
To re-enable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system when it is disabled due
to operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function, either enable the sys-
tem again (P. 322), or turn the power switch off and then back to ON mode.
Additionally, if the object becomes no longer in the traveling direction of the
vehicle or if the traveling direction of the vehicle changes (such as changing
from moving forward to backing up, or from backing up to moving forward),
the system will be re-enabled automatically.
■ Objects that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may not d etect
The sensors may not be able to detect certain objects, such as the following.
● Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials that are poor reflector s of ultrasonic
waves.
(People may also not be detected depending on the type of cloth ing they are
wearing.)
● Objects which are not perpendicular to the ground, are not perp endicular to
the traveling direction of the vehicle, are uneven or are wavin g.
● Low objects
● Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
● Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■ Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking assist system is en abled or not
( P. 311), if the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is enabled ( P. 322), the
front or rear sensors detect an object and brake control is performed, the intu-
itive parking assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate
distance to the object.

■Situations in which the Intellige nt Clearance Sonar function ma y operate
even if there is no possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the Intelligent Clear ance Sonar
function may operate even though there is no possibility of a c ollision.
● Vehicle surroundings
• When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parki ng lots).
• When driving on a narrow path surrounded by a structure, such as in a
tunnel or on an iron bridge
• When parallel parking
• When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
• When driving on a metal cover (grating), such as those used fo r drainage
ditches
• When driving on a steep slope
• If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a flooded road
● Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system
will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sands torm
● Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices
which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate (especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wir eless antenna
is installed near a sensor
• When driving on a narrow road
• When driving on a gravel road or in
an area with tall grass

Driving
●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact
■ If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates unnecessar ily such
as at a railroad crossing
Even in the event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad crossing, brake control will be canceled
after approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the
area, Brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brak e pedal.
Depressing the accelerator pedal again will allow you to procee d forward and
leave the area.
■ Situations in which the Intell igent Clearance Sonar Brake funct ion may
not operate properly
In some situations such as the following, this function may not operate prop-
erly.
● Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system
will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sands torm
● Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
• When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing

3304-5. Using the driving support systems
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices
which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wir eless antenna
is installed near a sensor
● Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact
■ If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconne cted
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more
at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■ If “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display and
the ICS OFF indicator is flashing
● A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow,
dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a war ning mes-
sage may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object.
Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message continues to be displayed even after cleaning the sensor, or
is displayed even though the sensor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
● Initialization may not have been performed after a 12-volt batt ery terminal
was disconnected and reconnected. Initialize the system. (P. 330)

WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an ac cident.
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak-
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearanc e Sonar
system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions.
However, it may not operate in some situations.
● The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the ve hicle, it is
necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake contr ol will be
canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
■ To ensure the Intelligent Clearan ce Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 322). Failure
to do so may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may ca use an
accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong imp act.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors ( P. 300).
Failure to do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate proper ly, and may
cause an accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a stro ng impact.
● Do not damage the radar sensors, and always keep the radar sens ors and
their surrounding area on the bumper clean.
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli nation of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause
the system to not operate or operate unnecessarily.

If the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function detects that a collision
with an approaching vehicle is p ossible, the hybrid system output will
be restricted to restrain any increase in vehicle speed. (Hybri d system
output restriction c ontrol: See A below.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal continues to be depresse d, the
brakes will be applied automatically to reduce the vehicle spee d.
(Brake control: See B below.)
