Driving
• The engine may have been started
with the hood open.
Close the hood, turn the engine
switch off, wait for 30 seconds or more,
and then start the engine.
“In Preparation”
• The vehicle is being driven in a high
altitude area.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system is being
used when the ambient temperature is
high or low.
If the difference between the set tem-
perature and cabin temperature
becomes small, the system will be
enabled.
• The windshield defogger is on.
●When the engine automatically
restarts while stopped by the Stop &
Start system
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system has been
turned on or is being used.
• The windshield defogger has been
turned on.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.

battery charging. After the engine runs
for a certain amount of time, the system
will be enabled.
●When the engine cannot be restarted
by the Stop & Start system
“Shift to N and Press Clutch to Restart”
When the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the shift lever was
moved to a position other than N without
depressing the clutch pedal.
■When the buzzer sounds
If the shift lever is shifted into a position
other than N with clutch pedal released when the engine is stopped by the Stop
& Start system, a buzzer will sound and
the Stop &Start system indicator will
flash. To stop the buzzer, put the shift
lever to N. Even in this situation, the
engine starts if the clutch pedal is
depressed.
■The Stop & Start system protection
function
●When the volume of the audio system
is excessively high, sound output from
the audio system may suddenly be cut
off in order to reduce battery con-
sumption. To prevent the audio sys-
tem from being cut off, keep the
volume of audio system at a moderate
level. If the audio system has been cut
off, turn the engine switch off, wait for
3 seconds or more and then turn it to
ACC or ON to re-enable the audio
system.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in ON.
●Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
●Steering wheel is turned approxi-mately 90° or more (Front side sen-sors, rear side sensors) (if equipped)
●The parking brake is released.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
The following situations may occur during use.
●The sensors may be able to only detect objects near the front and rear bumpers.
●Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
●If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected.
●There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that
the object will come within the sen- sor’s detection areas before the dis-play is shown and the warning beep
sounds.
●It might be difficult to hear the buzzer
due to the volume of the audio system or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
●It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sound-
ing.
■Objects which the system may not be properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
WARNING
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate cover.
●Keep your tires properly inflated.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●Failing to observe the warnings
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the sensors directly, as doing
so may cause a sensor to malfunc- tion.
●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.
