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.

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 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.

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 errorWhen 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

●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

The images displayed were pre-
viously taken approximately 10
ft. (3 m) behind the current vehi-
cle position.
Therefore, actual conditions
may differ from those shown on
the screen in the following situa-
tions.
• An obstacle has appeared
after the image was taken
• Loose material like sand or
snow has crumbled or shifted
• An obstacle has moved
• There is a puddle, tract of
mud, etc., within the display

In the following situations, actual
tire positions and vehicle posi-tion may differ from those indi-
cated by the tire position
indicator lines and vehicle posi-
tion indicator lines.
