4165-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The shift lever is in other than P.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Rem ove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the
system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even
if the sensor is cle an, there may be a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by any a uthorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

pers is not detected.
Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.

function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli -
sion.

WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the
vehicle, such as on the floor, on the rear seats, in the DC/DC Converter
air intake vent, junction box or in
the luggage compartment. ( →P.98) Doing so may cause the DC/DC
Converter, electrical components,
etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any o f the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( →P.40) An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not
function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:Do not let the wir eless charger
( →P.479) get wet. Failure to do so
may cause the charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause
electric shock resu lting in death or
serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially
instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel may
reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an
accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE

leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct
sunlight for extended periods of
time. Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the
upholstery, as they may stick to the
leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water
comes into contact with electrical
components such as the audio sys - tem above or under the floor of the
vehicle. Water may also cause the
body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the
windshield (vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense)
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact
the lens. Also, do not touch the lens. ( →P.344)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear
window
●Do not use a glass cleaner to clean
the rear window, as this may cause
