Driving
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. 320). 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. 298).
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.

3304-5. Using the driving support systems
NOTICE
■To prevent the system from malfunctioning
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, the syst em may not
operate properly due to the sensor being misaligned. Have the v ehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the
sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction .
● When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■ To prevent a radar sensor from malfunctioning
● If the area around a radar sensor is subjected to an impact, th e system
may not operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Observe the radar sensor handling precautions. ( P. 298)
■ To prevent unnecessary operation of the Intelligent Clearance S onar
system
In the following situations, disable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
as the system may operate even though there is no possibility o f a collision.
● When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller
● When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel
● If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other th an specified
are installed
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
● When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
● When using an automatic car wash

■Situations in which the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function may not
operate properly
In some situations such as the following, this function may not operate prop-
erly.

• Objects which are extremely close to a radar sensor
• Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the r ear of the
vehicle at a traveling speed of less than approximately 5 mph ( 8 km/h)
• Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the r ear of the
vehicle at a traveling speed of more than approximately 15 mph (24 km/h)
*: Depending on conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
● Situations in which the radar sensors may not be able to detect an object
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
• If the rear bumper is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• If heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• When the detection area of a radar sensor is obstructed by an adjacent
vehicle
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such a s a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the ca rried load
• 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 radar sensor
• If the orientation of a radar sensor has been changed due to a collision or
other impact or removal and installation
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between each vehicle
• When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
● Situations in which the radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
• When a vehicle approaches from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle

3946-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration an d corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
