■Cleaning the rear camera
with washer fluid
Dirt on the rear camera lens can
be cleaned by operating the
dedicated camera cleaning
washer. For details, refer to
“OWNER’S MANUAL”.
 When cleaning the camera, it
may be difficult to see the
image due to the washer fluid.
When backing up, be sure to
visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceed-
ing.
 If washer fluid remains on the
camera lens surface after
cleaning, the image may be
difficult to see at night due to the height or inclination of the
headlights of the vehicle
behind.
 Some dirts may not be
removed completely after
cleaning. In this case, rinse
the camera lens with a large
quantity of water and then
wipe it clean with a soft cloth
dampened with water.
 Washer fluid is sprayed onto
the camera lens surface.
Therefore, the ice, snow, etc.
adhering around the camera
cannot be removed.
 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
NOTICE
• 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 camera 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.
NOTICE
●Do not strike or hit the washer
nozzle or subject it to a strong
impact, as the washer nozzle
installation position and angle
may be changed.

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.
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 be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road. 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 there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road,
take extra care when using the following.
Since the panoramic view, Side Clearance View and Cornering Vie w
process and display images based on flat road surfaces, it cann ot
depict the position of three-dimens ion objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of th e 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.

The estimated course lines target flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicles ) using the estimated course lines
and distance guide lines. When app roaching a three-dimensional
object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), b e care-
ful of the following.

Since the estimated course line
is displayed for a flat road sur-
face, it cannot depict the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects
(such as vehicle bumpers, etc.)
that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. Even if
the bumpers of the vehicle is on
the outside of the estimated
course line in the image, in real-
ity, the vehicles are on a colli-
sion course.

Three-dimensional objects
(such as the overhang of a wall
or loading platform of a truck) in
high positions may not be pro-
jected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings
directly. Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown below, the
truck appears to be outside of
the estimated 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 estimated course
lines. In reality if you back up as
guided by the estimated course
lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.
