WARNING
■For safe use
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the sys tem may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay ca reful 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 sit uation.
● 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 se nsors
( P. 440). Failure to observe these precautions may cause the sensors
not to operate properly, and may result in an unexpected accide nt.
● Do not perform work such as modification, disassembly or painti ng
● 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 incli ne of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from correctly detecting obstac les, may
cause the system not operate, or may cause the system to operate unnec-
essarily.

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 your Toyota dealer.
● When using a high-pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not s pray
water directly on the sensors. The sensors may not function pro perly if
subjected to an impact from strong water pressure.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too c lose to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
■ Preventing unnecessary operation
In the following situations, turn the Intelligent Clearance Son ar function off.
The system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
● A chassis roller, chassis dynamo, free roller or similar equipm ent is being
used for an inspection, etc.
● The vehicle is being loaded onto a ship, truck or other transpo rt vessel
● The suspension has been lowered or tires that have a different size than
the genuine tires are equipped
● The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the ca rried load
(the nose tilts up or down).
● A towing eyelet is installed

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 int o
an area near a target parking spot, and when departing from a p ar-
allel parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adju st-
ment when moving forward or backing up are not performed
automatically.)
● The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance 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 Intelligen t Clearance Sonar function
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating,
if the system detects an obstacl e that could result in a collision, the
emergency brakes operate, regardless of whether the Intelligent
Clearance Sonar function is on or off. ( P. 453)
: If equipped

WARNING
●When backing up or proceeding forward, be sure to directly conf irm 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 s peed by
depressing the brake pedal.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, ano ther vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-APGS switch ( P. 454) 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, hybri d system output
restriction control and brake control of the Intelligent Cleara nce Sonar func-
tion are operated, regardless of whether the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func-
tion is on or off. ( P. 440)
● After the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates, operat ion of the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is temporarily stopped, and
operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is indica ted on the
multi-information display. ( P. 444)
● When operation of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System i s
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 availa ble
after the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is operated, a m essage
prompting you to shift is displayed on the multi-information di splay. Opera-
tion of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System can be resu med by
shifting according to the prompt on the multi-information display and press-
ing the S-APGS switch ( P. 454) 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 operat ion 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.
