WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■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 parked 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 may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow oth er vehicles
closely and avoid hills or shar p turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will 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.
If this happens, do not continue to drive the vehicle. Have you r brakes
fixed immediately.
■ If the vehicle becomes stuck (4WD models)
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or
the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline com-
ponents or propel the vehicle forward or backward, causing an accident.

Intuitive parking assist
Front corner sensors
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
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 a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Types of sensors
Intuitive parking assist switch
2724-5. Using the driving support systems
SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C013U_19MY
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
Approximately 2.8 ft. (85 cm)
Approximately 5.9 ft. (180 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect obstacles
that are extremely close to the
vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
■Intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 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.

Limitations of the sensors
●The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas aro und the vehi-
cle’s front corners and the rear bumpers.
● Certain vehicle conditions and surrounding environments, such a s the fol-
lowing, may affect the ability of the sensors to correctly dete ct objects. Pay
particular attention in the following situations. Failure to do so may result in
the vehicle being driven unsafely, possibly leading to an accident.
• When there is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor (Cleaning the sens or will
resolve this problem.)
• When the sensor is frozen (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen ma y show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected
• When a sensor is covered in any way
• When the vehicle is leaning considerably to one side
• When driving on an extremely bumpy road, incline, gravel, or g rass
• When the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns , motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises pro ducing ultra-
sonic waves
• When there is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sen sor in the
vicinity
• When the sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
• When the vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless an tenna
• When a towing eyelet is installed
• When a bumper or sensor receives a strong impact
• A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are insta lled.
• When the vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb
• When driving in harsh sunlight or intense cold weather
• When an object is directly under a bumper
• When objects become too close to the sensors
• When a non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc. ) is
installed
In addition to the situations 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.
