●Black masking is done for dis-

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-

■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.
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.

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 be a margin of
error between the guide lines
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 guide lines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

screen and the actual

■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, side
clearance view and cornering
view process and display
images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the posi-
tion of three-dimension objects
(such as vehicle bumpers, etc.)
that are in positions higher than
the surface 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.

●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.

Peripheral monitoring systemSince the estimated course
line is displayed for a flat road
surface, it can not depict the
position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, 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 reality, the vehi-
cles are on a collision course. Estimated course line
Three-dimensional objects
(such as the overhang of a
wall or loading platform of a
truck) in high positions may
not be projected on the
screen. Check the safety of
the surroundings directly.

Visually check the surround-
ings 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 esti-
mated course lines, the vehi-
cle may hit the truck. Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
On the screen, it appears that a
truck is parking at point . How-
ever, in reality if you back up to
point , you will hit the truck.
