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.

WARNING
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-tions. As these are the systems to
help ensure vehicle stability and driv- ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Expert mode precautions
●Do not use on public roads.
●Use only when the road conditions and safely of the surrounding area
can be ensured.
●Proper use of expert mode requires
a professional level of driving skill. When using expert mode, always check the road conditions and sur-
rounding area and drive more care- fully than usual.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake (if equipped)
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil-
ity of further damage due to a second- ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious injury.
■Active Torque Split AWD system
●The Active Torque Split AWD sys-tem is designed to ensure driving
stability on general roads and not for off-road driving such as for rally-ing. Do not subject the system to
extreme driving conditions.
●Drive carefully on slippery road sur-
faces.

Maintenance and care
zRemove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
z If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the car-pet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
NOTICE
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate normally.
●Vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense: Do not spray water directly on the radar which is equipped behind the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the device to be damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufac-tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
•Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-cles body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and damaged. Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water enters the air conditioning system intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure car washer.
