WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving safely.
■To ensure the system can oper-ate properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehi- cle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
●Do not a sticker or an electronic component, such as a backlit
license plate (especially fluorescent type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-less antenna is installed near a
radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding area
of the sensor to a strong impact. If subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the front or rear bumper needs to
be removed/installed or replaced, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■The system can be operated when
●The engine 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 water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the
water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to nor-mal.
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 clean, there may be a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are lim-
ited to the areas around the vehicle’ front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-tance may shorten, or detection may
be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static
objects draw too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
static object detection and display (warning buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within 30 cm (1.0 ft.) before the display is shown and the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of
WARNING
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.

■If “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-
information display
●The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate mat- ter accumulating.
●Engine output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of particulate matter accumulates, how-
ever, it is possible to drive the vehicle unless the malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
●Particulate matter can accumulate more quickly if the vehicle is fre-
quently driven short trips or at low speeds, or if the engine is regularly started in an extremely cold environ-
ment. Excessive accumulation of par- ticulate matter can be prevented by periodically driving long distances
continuously with intermittent releas- ing of the accelerator pedal, such as when driving on highways and free-
ways.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or “Engine Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer” is
shown on the multi-information display
The amount of accumulated particulate
matter has exceeded a certain level. Have the vehicle inspected by any
GPF (Gasoline Particu-
late Filter) system*
The GPF system collects par-
ticulate matter in the exhaust
gas by using an exhaust gas
filter.
The system will operate to
regenerate the filter automati-
cally, depending on the vehicle
conditions.

WARNING
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec- tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-pery road surfaces, even if the
TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner- ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving on slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre-quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con- trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary
Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil-ity of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-tions. Overly relying on the system
may result in death or serious injury.
