●Do not attach objects, such as
stickers, transparent stickers,
etc., to the oute r side of the
windshield in fr ont of the front
camera (shaded area in the
illustration).
From the top of the windshield
to approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm)
below the bottom of the front
camera
Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm)
(Approximately 4.0 in. [10 cm]
to the right and left from the
center of the front camera)
●If the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera is
fogged up or covered with con-
densation, or ice, use the wind-
shield defogger to remove the
fog, condensation, or ice.
(
P.338)
●If water droplets cannot be
properly removed from the area
of the windshield in front of the
front camera by the windshield
wipers, replace the wiper insert
or wiper blade.
●Do not attach win dow tint to the
windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is
damaged or cracked.
After replacing the windshield,
the front camera must be recali-
brated. Contact your Toyota
dealer for details.
●Do not allow liquids to contact
the front camera.
●Do not allow bright lights to
shine into the front camera.
●Do not dirty or damage the front
camera.
When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, do not allow glass
cleaner to contact the lens of
the front camera. Also, do not
touch the lens.
If the lens is dirty or damaged,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not subject the front camera
to a strong impact.
●Do not change the installation
position or direction of the front
camera or remove it.
●Do not disasse mble the front
camera.
●Do not modify any components
of the vehicle around the front

●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-
tional.
If the message does not disappea r, contact your Toyota dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely cold
environment
• When the front camera cannot d etect objects in front of the vehicle, such
as when driving in the dark, sno w, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
When the temperature around the
front camera is out side of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight r eflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera
to become exce ssively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.

■When using the intuitive park-
ing assist
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●Do not use the sensor at
speeds in excess of 6 mph (10
km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas
and reaction times are limited.
When moving forward or revers-
ing, check the areas surround-
ing the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety,
and drive slowly, using the
brake to control the vehicle’s
speed.
●Do not install accessories within
the sensors’ d etection areas.
●The area directly under the
bumpers is not detected.
Thin posts or objects lower than
the sensor may not be detected
when approached, even if they
have been det ected once.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable
the function as it may operate
even though there is no possibility
of a collision.
●The vehicle is equipped with a
fender pole, wireless antenna or
fog lights.
●The front or rear bumper or a
sensor receives a strong
impact.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
●To w i n g e y e l e t s are installed.
●A backlit licence plate is
installed.
■When using intuitive parking
assist
In the following situations, the
system may not function correctly
due to a sensor malfunction, etc.
Have the vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist
operation display flashes or
shows continuously, and a
buzzer sounds when no objects
are detected.
●If the area around a sensor col-
lides with something, or is sub-
jected to strong impact.
●If the bumper or grille collides
with something.
●If the display flashes or is dis-
played continuously and a
buzzer does not sound, except
when the mute function has
been turned on.
●If a display error occurs, first
check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when
there is no ice, snow or mud on
the sensor, it is likely that the
sensor is malfunctioning.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
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 malfunction.
