Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
NOTIC E
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.The driver must comply with the Highway Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in all circumstances and must be able to retake control of it at all times. The driver must adapt the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and the state of the road.It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the relative distances and speeds of other vehicles and to anticipate their movements before indicating and changing lane.The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
NOTIC E
Driving aidsYou should hold the steering wheel with both hands, always use the interior and exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet close to the pedals and take a break every two hours.
NOTIC E
Manoeuvring aidsThe driver must always check the surroundings of the vehicle before and during the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the mirrors.
WARNI NG
Radar(s)The operation of the radar(s), along with any associated functions, may be affected by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer; certain types of paint could interfere with the operation of the radar(s).
WARNI NG
Driving aids cameraThis camera and its associated functions may be impaired or not work if the windscreen area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked by a sticker.In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also impair detection performance.In the event of a windscreen replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the operation of the associated driving aids may be disrupted.

Other camerasThe images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen or on the instrument panel may be distorted by the relief.In the presence of areas in shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the image may be darkened and with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are.
WARNI NG
SensorsThe operation of the sensors as well as the associated functions may be disturbed by sound interference such as that emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead leaves on the road or in the event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always detected by the system: distance measurements may be distorted.The sensors do not systematically detect obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
NOTIC E
MaintenanceClean the bumpers and door mirrors and the field of vision of the cameras regularly.When washing your vehicle at high pressure, direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from the radar, sensors and cameras.
WARNI NG
MatsThe use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere with the operation of the speed limiter or cruise control.To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.– Never fit one mat on top of another.
NOTIC E
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed on the instrument panel (km/h or mph) are those for the country you are driving in.If this is not the case, when the vehicle is stationary, set the display to the required units of speed so that it complies with what is authorised locally.In case of doubt, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
