● Instances of the BSM function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the se nsor or its
surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that
enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as h ills, dips
in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane,
and a vehicle traveling in a lane other than the adjacent lanes enters the
detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short
• When a bicycle carrier or other accessory is installed to the rear of the
vehicle

Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when
parallel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by
the sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Types of sensors
Front corner sensors
Front center sensors
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
Front side sensors
(if equipped)

This system can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display.
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select .
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select , and
press to select the desired setting (on/off).
When the Toyota parking assist-sensor function is disabled, the Toyota
parking assist-sensor OFF indicator ( P. 161) illuminates.
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain O FF until it
is turned ON again via the screen of the multi-information dis play.
(The system will not automatically turn ON even when the hybrid system
is restarted.)
When the sensors detect an objects, such as a wall, a graphic i s
shown on the multi-information display depending on the positio n and
distance to the objects.

When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distance to
the object will be displayed on the multi-information display. (As the
distance to the object becomes short, the distance segments may
blink.)
The front side sensor displays and rear side sensor displays (i f
equipped) are not shown until a scan of the side areas is compl eted.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of
the object, the buzzer sounds continuously.
● When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
sounds for the nearest object. If one or more objects come with in
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of the vehicle, the buzzer will r epeat
a long tone, followed by fast beeps.
● Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding,
if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object doe s
not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is
30 cm (1.0 ft.) or less, this function will not operate.)
■Adjusting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information dis-
play.
The volume of buzzers for the Toyota parking assist-sensor and
RCTA function (if equipped) will be adjusted simultaneously.
Use the meter control switches to change settings. ( P. 171)
Press “ ” or “” to select .
Press “ ” or “” to select “Vehicle Settings”, and then press .
Press “ ” or “” to select or , and
select the volume and then press .
Each time the switch is pressed, the volume level will change b etween
1, 2 and 3.

■Muting a buzzer
A mute button will be displayed on the multi-information displa y
when an object is detected. To mute the buzzer, press .
The buzzers for the Toyota parking assist-sensor and RCTA func-
tion (if equipped) will be muted simultaneously.
Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations :
● When the shift lever is changed.
● When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
● When the operating function is temporarily canceled.
● When the operating function is disabled manually.
● When the power switch is turned off.

■The system can be operated when
● The power switch is in ON mode.
● Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
● The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
● A shift lever other than P is selected.
● Vehicles with side sensors: Steering wheel is turned approximately 90° or
more
■ If “Parking assist unavailable. Clean parking assist sensor” is displayed
on the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the i ce, snow, dirt,
etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a war ning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an obj ect. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
■ If “Parking assist Malfunction Visit your dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display
The system may not operate due to the malfunction of a sensor.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Sensor detection information
The following situations may occur during use.
● The sensors may be able to only detect objects near the front and rear bum-
pers.
● Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected.
● There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come wi thin the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning bee p 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 buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sound-
ing.
