■Sensor detection range
The detection range of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking assist ( P. 433).
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obst acle and pro-
vides a warning, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar may not start operating.
■ System operation
When the vehicle is stopped by system operation, the Intelligen t Clearance
Sonar function stops and the ICS OFF indicator illuminates.
■ System recovery
When the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is stopped by sys tem opera-
tion and you would like to resume operation, either turn the In telligent Clear-
ance Sonar on again ( P. 440), or turn the power switch off and then back
on. Furthermore, when the vehicle moves with an obstacle no lon ger in the
traveling direction of the vehicle, or when the traveling direc tion of the vehicle
changes (such as when switching from moving forward to backing up, and
vice versa), system operation automatically resumes.
■ Obstacles not detected by the sensors
The following obstacles may not be detected by the sensors.
●Objects such as people, cloth and snow, that are difficult for sonic waves to
reflect off of. (In particular, people may also not be detected depending on
the type of clothing they are wearing.)
● Objects not perpendicular with the ground, objects not at a rig ht angle to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, uneven objects or waving objects
● 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 is on or off ( P. 429), if the
Intelligent Clearance Sonar function is not stopped ( P. 440), when the front
or rear sensors detect an obstacle and brake control is perform ed, the intui-
tive parking assist buzzer also sounds and a notification of th e approximate
distance to the obstacle is provided.

■Situations when the system may operate even though there is no possi-
bility of a collision
In the following situations, the system may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
● Environmental influence
• The vehicle is driven toward a banner or flag, a low-hanging branch or a
boom barrier (such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and
parking lots).
• There is an obstacle on the shoulder of the road (when the veh icle is
driven in a narrow tunnel, on a narrow bridge or on a narrow road)
• The vehicle is being parallel parked
• There is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
• When the vehicle is driven on a metal cover (grating), such as those used
for drainage ditches
• The vehicle is driven on a steep slope
• The sensor is covered by water on a flooded road
● Influence from the weather
• Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to the sensor (if removed, the system
returns to normal)
• Heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sand storm
● Influence from other sonic waves
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or parki ng assist
system of another vehicle, a vehicle detector, a motorcycle eng ine or the
air brake of a large vehicle
• Electronic components (such as a backlit license plate (especially fluo-
rescent types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wireless antenna ) are
installed near the sensors
• The vehicle is driven on a narrow
road
• The vehicle is driven on a gravel road or in an area with tall grass

●Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the c arried load
(the nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact
■ In the unlikely event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar func tion mistak-
enly operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function mis-
takenly operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is c anceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the
area. Furthermore, brake control is also canceled when the brak e pedal is
depressed. Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate normally
In the following situations, the system may not operate normall y.
● Environmental influence
• There is an obstacle that cannot be detected between the vehic le and
another obstacle that can be detected
• An obstacle such as another vehicle, a motorcycle, a bicycle o r a pedes-
trian cuts in front of the vehicle or jumps out from the side.
● Influence from the weather
• Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to the sensor (if removed, the system
returns to normal)
• Heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sand storm • The area around the sensor is extremely hot or cold
• The wind is strong

■ When removing and instal ling the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight a head for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or hi gher.
■ When “ICS Unavailable” is displ ayed on the multi-information display
and the ICS OFF indicator flashes
● Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures du e to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle i nspected at
your Toyota dealer.
● System initialization may not have been performed after removal and instal-
lation of the 12-volt battery. Perform system initialization.
■ When “ICS Malfunction Visit Yo ur Dealer” is displayed on the mu lti-infor-
mation display, the ICS OFF indi cator flashes and the buzzer sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.

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.

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)

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.
(Customizable features: P. 739)
