■Exit parallel parking assist mode
●During assist control, if the driver
determines that they are at a position
where take-off is possible and oper- ates the steering wheel, assist control
is stopped at that position.
●Assist control cannot be used if there
are no parked vehicles ahead, or if the
gap between the front of your vehicle and the vehicle parked ahead is too
large.
●When using the exit parallel parking
assist mode, the assist mode may be
not be able to operate depending on the surrounding environment.
■When using the exit parallel park-
ing assist mode
Do not use exit parallel parking assist mode in the following situations as it
may not operate properly:
●When the road surface is not paved or
is rough, such as gravel.
●When there is a rut or other depres-
sion in the road to the side of your
vehicle.
●When the road to the side of your
vehicle is sloped.
●When any of the following are behind

■Function summary
Stop so that the cent er of the target
parking spot appears nearly per-
pendicular to the vehicle. If the
space is detectable, the forward
guidance function can be used.

parking space and other conditions,
multi-turn maneuvering assist con-
trol is also provided if necessary.

■When using the exit parallel park- ing assist mode
●Do not use exit parallel parking
assist mode in any situation other than when departing a parallel park-
ing spot.
If assist control is started uninten- tionally, depress the brake pedal
and stop the vehicle, then press the
S-IPA switch to cancel the assist control.
●The detection range of the sensors ( P.308) is limited. Directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings,
and if there is a possibility of a con- tact accident, stop the vehicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
●It may not be possible to detect
objects that are low to the ground.
Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the

When this is done, a
high-pitched beep is emitted

illuminates at the same time,
after which assist control will
start.
When the steering wheel auto
operation starts, the steering
wheel auto operation display and
assistance level indicator
( P.331) will be shown in the
display area.
To stop assist control, press the
S-IPA switch.
When the vehicle speed is too
high, a sharp beeping sound is
emitted and assist control is
stopped. ( P.332)
If the space turns out to be too
narrow after assist control starts,

while adjusting your speed by

reach the desired parking spot.
Be sure to back up while check-
ing the area to the front and rear
of the vehicle directly and by
using the mirrors.
■Back-in parking assist mode oper-
ating conditions
●In order to operate the function cor-
rectly, drive slowly (at a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly
stopped). Come to a full stop so that
the center of the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle,
and then operate the S-IPA switch.
●The function cannot be used when the
vehicle speed is approximately 30
km/h (19 mph) or higher.
●The front side sensors and rear side
sensors are used to detect parked vehicles and determine the parking
spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible ( P.353), guidance is not issued.
●If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the back-in parking assist
mode cannot be operated.
●If unable to detect the environment
surrounding the parking space, the
back-in parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
●Depending on the condition of the parking space, if there is not enough
space in front of the vehicle required
to perform the parking operation, the target parking spot may not be reach-
able.

■Tips for using the back-in parking assist mode
1 Leave a gap of approximately 1 m
(3.3 ft.) from any parked vehicles
and approach the target parking spot. If the gap between your vehicle
and any parked vehicles is too large,
the front side sensors and rear side sensors may not be able to detect
the parked vehicles.
1 m (3.3 ft.)
2 Stop so that the center of the target parking spot is perpendicular to the
vehicle. Furthermore, only push the
S-IPA switch when the vehicle is at a complete stop.

When the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System cannot be operated, or
when operation is stopped, canceled, etc., the one of the following mes-
sage is displayed on the multi-information display. Take appropriate action
according to the display.

NOTICE
■When using the back-in parking
assist mode
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot
cannot be correctly set. Therefore,
the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. In these cases, do not use
the back-in parking assist mode.
●When parking in a narrow space,
the vehicle will come close to adja-
cent vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the vehicle
by depressing the brake pedal.
●It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground.
Directly confirm the safety of your
surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may make contact with an
obstacle, stop the vehicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
●Depending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, such as other parked vehicles, the vehicle may be parked
at an angle or may deviate from the
parking spot. Manually adjust vehi- cle alignment as necessary.

■When using the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System
●Do not rely solely upon the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System.
As with unequipped vehicles, move
forward and back up carefully while directly confirming the safety of
your surroundings and the area to
the rear of the vehicle.
●Do not back up while viewing the
multi-information display. Backing
up while only viewing the monitor screen may cause a collision or
lead to an accident, as the image
displayed on the monitor screen may differ from actual conditions.
Make sure to visually check the sur-
rounding areas and the area to the rear of the vehicle with and without
the mirror while backing up.
●Drive slowly while adjusting your
speed by depressing the brake
pedal when backing up or moving forward.
●If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another
vehicle or any other obstacles, stop
the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA
switch to turn off the system.
●Use the system in a parking lot with
a flat surface.
●Observe the following precautions,
as the steering wheel automatically
turns during use.
• There is risk of a necktie, scarf,
your arm, etc. being caught on the
steering wheel. Please do not allow your upper body to be close to the
steering wheel. Also, do not allow
children close to the steering wheel.
• There is a possibility of injury when
the steering wheel turns if you have long fingernails.
• In case of emergency, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal, and then press the S-IPA
switch to turn off the system.
●Always confirm that there is appro-
priate space before attempting to park the vehicle and operate the
system.
●Do not use the system in the follow-
ing situations, as the system may
be unable to correctly assist you in reaching the target parking spot
and may lead to an unexpected
accident.
• In an area that is not a parking lot
• A parking lot that is not paved and has no parking space lines, such as
a sand or gravel parking lot
• A parking lot that has a slope or
undulations in the road
• A frozen, snow-covered or slippery
road
• The asphalt is melting due to hot
weather
• There is an obstacle between the
vehicle and the target parking spot
• Using tire chains or compact spare
tire (if equipped)
●Do not use tire other than that pro-
vided by the manufacturer. The sys-
tem may not operate properly. When replacing tires, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●The system may not be able to
position the vehicle in the set loca- tion in the following situations.
• The tires are extremely worn or the
tire pressure is low
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy
load
