supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when checking
around the vehicle. When using,
be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding. If you do not, you
may hit another vehicle or possi-
bly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the
panoramic view monitor.Panoramic view moni-
tor precautions
Driving precautions
WARNING
●Never depend on the panoramic
view monitor entirely. The
image and the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may differ from the
actual state. Use caution just as
you would when driving any
other vehicle.
●Always make sure to check all
around the vehicle with your
own eyes when driving.
●Never drive while looking only at
the screen as the image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. If you are driving
while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a
person or an
object, resulting in an accident.
When driving, be sure to check
the vehicle’s surroundings with
your own eyes and the vehicle’s
mirrors.

WARNING
●Depending on the circum-
stances of the vehicle (number
of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, etc.), the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to
check visually around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
●Do not use the panoramic view
monitor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the front door or tailgate is not close d completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other
than specified are installed
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may
change.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.202)
NOTICE
●In panoramic view, the system
combines images taken from
the front, back, left and right
side cameras into a single
image. There are limits to the
range and content that can be
displayed. Familiarize yourself
with the characteristics of the
panoramic view monitor system
before using it.
●Image clarity may decline at the
four corners of t he panoramic
view. However, this is not a mal-
function, as these are the
regions along the border of
each camera image where the
images are combined.
●Depending on lighting condi-
tions near each of the cameras,
bright and dark patches may
appear on the panoramic view.
●The panoramic view display
does not extend higher than the
installation pos ition and image
capture range o f each camera.
●There are blind spots around
the vehicle. Accordingly, there
are regions not displayed in
panoramic view.
●Three-dimensional objects dis-
played in side view, wide front
view or rear view may not be
displayed in panoramic view.
●People and other three-dimen-
sional obstacles may appear
differently when displayed on
the panoramic view monitor.
(These differences include,
among others, cases in which
displayed objects appear to
have fallen over, disappear near
image processing areas, appear
from image processing areas,
or when the actual distance to
an object differs from the dis-
played position.)

1987-2. Panoramic view monitor
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension
objects (such as vehicle bumpers , etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bum-
pers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in
reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.
Check the safety of the surroundings directly.
The area displayed on the screen
NOTICE
●When the tailgate, which is
equipped with the back camera,
or front doors, which are
equipped with door mirrors that
have built-in side cameras, are
open, images will not be dis-
played properly on the pan-
oramic view monitor.
●The vehicle icon displayed in
panoramic view is a computer
generated image. Accordingly,
properties such as the color,
shape and size will differ from
the actual vehicle. For this rea-
son, nearby three-dimensional
objects may appear to be touch-
ing the vehicle, and actual dis-
tances to three-dimensional
objects may diffe r from those
displayed.

The area not displayed on the screen
• Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on t he screen.
The parts of objects not displayed on the screen
• Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed
on the screen.
●As the images obtained from four
cameras are processed and dis-
played on the standard of a flat
road surface; the panoramic view
may be displayed as follows.
• Objects may look collapsed; thin- ner or bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position
than the road surface may look
farther away than i t actually is or
may not appear at all.
• Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of
the image.
●Variations in the brightness of the
image may appear for every cam-
era.
●The displayed image may be
shifted by inclination of the vehicle
body, change in vehicle height,
etc., depending on the number of
passengers, amou nt of luggage,
fuel quantity, etc.
●If the front doors or tailgate are not
completely closed; neither the
image nor the guide lines are dis-
played.
●The position relations of the vehi-
cle icon and the road surface or
obstacle may differ from the actual
positions.
●The black areas of the vicinity of
the vehicle icon are areas that are
not captured by the camera.
●Images like the fo llowing are com-
bined, thus some areas may be
difficult to view.

■Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it
cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large
quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.
The camera
NOTICE
●The panoramic view monitor
may not operate properly in the
following cases.
• If the camera is hit, the position and mounting angle of the cam-
era may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the came ra or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impacts as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
 The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this , objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will guidelines and
the actual distance/course on
the road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes down
sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be closer than they
actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guidelines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
