Peripheral monitoring system
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.

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.
●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.

Black masking
●Black masking is done for dis-
tance detection differences to the
front of the vehicle.
●The area covered by the camera
is limited. Objects which are close
to either corner of the bumper or
under the bumper cannot be seen
on the screen.
●The area displayed on the screen
may vary depending on vehicle
orientation or road conditions.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distance in the image dis-
played on the screen will differ
from the actual distance.

■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 Multi-terrain Monitor may
not operate properly in the fol-
lowing 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.

Peripheral monitoring system
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.

■When any part of the vehi-
cle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the
load, there is a margin of error
between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
A margin of error When there are three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) nearby in posi-
tions higher than the surface of
the road, take extra care when
using the following.
Since the panoramic view pro-
cess and display 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 sur-
face of the road. For example,
even though it appears that
there is space between the
bumpers of the two vehicles in
the illustration below and they
are not likely to collide, in reality,
a collision is about to occur.

dimensional objects
WARNING
●When a sensor indicator on the
intuitive parking assist display
illuminates in red or a buzzer
sounds continuously, be sure to
check the area around the vehi-
cle immediately and do not pro-
ceed any further until safety has
been ensured, otherwise an
unexpected accident may occur.

 Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. In the case shown
below, the truck appears to be
outside of the projected
course lines and the vehicle
does not look as if it hits the
truck. However, the rear body
of the truck may actually
cross over the projected
course lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the esti-
mated course lines, the vehi-
cle may hit the truck. Projected course lines
Visually check the surroundings

truck is parking at point . How-
ever, in reality if you back up to
