S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist  
System)
The  Simple  Intelligent  Parking Assist  System  automatically  oper ates 
the steering wheel to provide support when backing into an area  near 
a target parking spot, and when departing from a parallel parki ng spot. 
(Shift lever operations and speed adjustment when moving forwar d or 
backing up are not performed automatically.) 
● The  Simple  Intelligent  Parking  Assist  System  does  not  park  the 
vehicle  automatically.  It  is  a  system  that  provides  support  whe n 
pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot. 
● The  Simple  Intelligent  Parking  Assist  System  provides  steering 
wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the sele cted 
intended parking spot. The selected intended parking spot may n ot 
always be reachable, depending on road and vehicle conditions a t 
the time of parking, and the distance to the intended parking s pot. 
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating , if the 
system  detects  an  obstacle  that  could  result  in  a  collision,  th e  emer- 
gency brakes operate, regardless of whether the PKSB (Parking S up- 
port Brake) system is on or off. ( P. 497)

WARNING
●Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the exit parallel 
parking assist mode. 
Exit parallel parking assist mode is a function used when depar ting from a 
parallel  parking  spot.  However,  this  function  may  not  be  usable   if  obsta- 
cles  or  people  are  detected  in  front  of  the  vehicle.  Only  use  t his  function 
when departing from a parallel parking spot. In the event that  the steering 
control operates, either turn the system off using the S-IPA sw itch or oper- 
ate the steering wheel to stop the control. 
● If exit parallel parking assist mode is mistakenly used in the following situ- 
ations, the vehicle may make contact with an obstacle. 
The  departure  function  is  operated  in  a  direction  where  an  obst acle  is 
present,  but  the  obstacle  is  not  detected  by  the  side  sensors  ( situations 
such as when the vehicle is directly beside a pole). 
● Observe  the  following  precautions,  as  the  sensors  may  stop  functioning 
properly which may lead to an accident. 
• Do  not  subject  the  sensor  to  strong  shocks  by  hitting  it,  etc.   The  sen- 
sors may not function properly. 
• When  using  a  high-pressure  washer  to  wash  the  vehicle,  do  not  spray 
water  directly  on  the  sensors.  Equipment  may  not  function  prope rly  if 
subjected  to  an  impact  from  strong  water  pressure.  If  the  vehic le 
bumper  strikes something,  equipm ent  may  not  operate  properly due  to 
a  sensor  malfunction.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  at  any  authori zed 
Toyota retailer or Toyota author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
