WARNING
●In the following situations, the sensors may not operate normally and may 
lead to an accident. Drive carefully. 
• Obstacles cannot be detected in the side areas until a scan of  the side 
areas is completed. ( P. 463) 
• Even  after  the  scan  of  the  side  areas  is  completed,  obstacles  such  as 
other  vehicles,  people  or  animals  that  approach  from  the  sides  cannot 
be detected. 
• The sensor is frozen (if it thaws, the system returns to norma l).  
A warning message may display at particularly low temperatures  due to 
the sensor freezing and it may not detect parked vehicles. 
• The sensor is blocked by someone’s hand. 
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount.
• The temperature is extremely hot or cold. 
• The vehicle is driven on undulating roads, slopes, gravel road s, in areas 
with tall grass, etc.
• An  ultrasonic  wave  source  is  nearby,  such  as  the  horn  or  senso rs  of 
another vehicle, a motorcycle engine or the air brake of a larg e vehicle. 
• Heavy rain or a water strikes the vehicle.
• The  angle  of  the  sensor  may  be  deviated  when  assist  control  st arts 
even  if  there  is  a  parked  vehicle  in  the  target  parking  spot.  H ave  the 
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota a uthorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
• Do not install any accessories within the sensor detection ran ge.

■ Active Cornering Assist operation sounds and vibrations 
When  the Active  Cornering Assi st  is  operated,  operation  sounds and  vibra- 
tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a  malfunction. 
■ EPS operation sound 
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring so und) may be 
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction. 
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems 
After  turning  the  TRC,  Trailer  Sway  Control  and  VSC  systems  off ,  the  sys- 
tems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations: 
● When the power switch is turned off 
● If  only  the  TRC  system  is  turned  off,  the  TRC  will  turn  on  when  vehicle 
speed increases 
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-en abling will 
not occur when vehicle speed increases. 
■ Operating conditions of Active Cornering Assist 
The system operates when the following occurs: 
● TRC/VSC can operate 
● The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning 
● The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side 
● The brake pedal is released 
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system 
The  effectiveness  of  the  EPS  system is reduced  to prevent  the  s ystem  from 
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an exten ded period of 
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should thi s occur, refrain 
from  excessive  steering  input  or  stop  the  vehicle  and  turn  the  hybrid  system 
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes. 
■ Operating conditions of hill-start assist control 
When  the  following  four  conditions  are  met,  the  hill-start  assi st  control  will 
operate: 
● The  shift  lever  is  in  a  position  other  than  P  or  N  (when  starting  off  forward/ 
backward on an upward incline) 
● The vehicle is stopped 
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed 
● The parking brake is not engaged
