■Multi-information display mes- 
sages 
If the following situations,   and a  
message may be displayed on the  
multi-information display.
●When the engine cannot be stopped 
by the Stop & Start system 
 “Press Brake Harder to Activate” 
• The brake pedal is not depressed  enough. 
  If the brake pedal is depressed fur- 
ther, the system will operate. 
 “Non-Dedicated Battery.” 
• A non-dedicated battery for the Stop &  
Start system may have been installed. 
 The Stop & Start system does not  
operate. Have the vehicle inspected by 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer. 
 “Battery Charging” 
• The battery charge amount may be  
low. 
  Engine stop is temporarily prohibited  
to prioritize charging of the battery, but if 
the engine is operated for a short while,  
engine stop is allowed. 
• A refresh charge may be occurring,  
such as when the battery is undergo-
ing a periodic recharge, for a while  after the battery terminals have been  
disconnected and reconnected, for a 
while after the battery has been  replaced, etc. 
  After a refresh charge of approxi- 
mately 5 to 60 minutes completes, the 
system can be operated. 
• Continuously displayed for a long term 
 The battery may be deteriorated. Con- 
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer for details. 
 “Stop & Start System Unavailable” 
• The Stop & Start system is temporarily  
disabled. 
  Operate the engine for a short while. 
• The engine may have been started  
with the hood open. 
  Close the hood, turn the engine  
switch off, wait for 30 seconds or more, 
and then start the engine. 
 “Preparing to Operate” 
• The vehicle is being driven in a high  
altitude area. 
• The brake booster vacuum is low. 
  When the brake booster vacuum  
reaches a predetermined level, the sys-
tem will be enabled. 
 “For Climate Control” 
• The air conditioning system is being  
used when the ambient temperature is  high or low. 
  If the difference between the set tem- 
perature and cabin temperature is small, 
the system will be enabled. 
• The windshield defogger is ON.
●When the engine automatically  
restarts while stopped by the Stop &  Start system 
 “Preparing to Operate” 
• The brake pedal has been depressed  further or pumped. 
  The system will be enabled after the  
engine runs and the brake booster vac-
uum reaches a predetermined level. 
 “For Climate Control” 
• The air conditioning system has been  
turned on or is being used. 
• The windshield defogger has been  
turned on.

Object 
Calculated vehicle course
■Object detection in side areas (if  equipped)
●Objects in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side  
areas with the side sensors. Recog-
nized objects are retained in memory  for up to approximately 2 minutes.
●Objects may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.  
After the engine switch is turned on, 
scanning completes after driving the  vehicle for a short period of time.
●When an object such as another vehi-cle, pedestrian or animal is detected  
by the side sensors, the object may 
continue to be detected even after it  has left the side sensor detection  
area.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable 
Please Clean Parking Assist Sen- sor” is displayed on the multi-infor- 
mation display 
A sensor may be covered with ice,  snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow,  
dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the 
system to normal. 
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 “Parking Assist Unavailable” is 
displayed on the multi-information  display
●Water may be continuously flowing  
over the sensor surface, such as in a  heavy rain. When the system deter- 
mines that it is normal, the system will  
return to normal.
●Initialization may not have been per-
formed after a battery terminal was  disconnected and reconnected. Initial- 
ize the system. ( P.306) 
If this message continues to be dis- played even after initialization, have  
the vehicle inspected by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If a battery terminal has been dis- 
connected and reconnected 
The system needs to be  initialized. To  initialize the system, drive the vehicle  
straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at 
a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22  mph) or more.
■Sensor detection information 
The following situations may occur dur- 
ing use.
●The sensors may be able to only 
detect objects near the front and rear  bumpers.
●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 within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the dis- play is shown and the warning beep  
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.
■Objects which the system may not  
be properly detected 
The shape of the object may prevent the  

3164-5. Using the driving support systems
●If the suspension has been modified  
or tires of a size other than specified  are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When turning while backing up
●When a vehicle turns into the detec- 
tion area
■Situations in which the system may 
operate even if there is no possibil- ity of a collision 
Instances of the RCTA function unnec- 
essary detecting a vehicle and/or object  may increase in the following situations:
●When the parking space faces a street and vehicles are being driven on the  
street
●When the distance between your vehi-
cle and metal objects, such as a 
guardrail, wall, sigh, or parked vehi-
cle,which may reflect electrical waves  toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
●When equipment that may obstruct a  
sensor is installed, such as a towing  eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- 
tional trim strip, et c.), bicycle carrier,or  
snow plow
●When a vehicle passes by the side of 
your vehicle
●When a detected vehicle turns while 
approaching the vehicle
●When there are spinning objects near 
your vehicle such as the fan of an air  conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from  
a sprinkler
●Moving objects ( flags, exhaust fumes, 
large rain droplets or snowflakes, rain 
water on the road surface, etc.)
●When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that 
enters the detection area is short
●Gratings and gutters

This mode also changes the steering  
feel, making it suitable for when agile 
driving response is desired, such as 
when driving on roads with many 
curves. 
When Sport mode is selected, Sport  
mode indicator comes on. 
Vehicles with a manual transmission:  
When Sport mode is selected, the iMT 
will be enabled. ( P.187)
3Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an  
eco-friendly manner and improve fuel 
economy through moderate throttle 
characteristics and by controlling the 
operation of the air conditioning system 
(heating/cooling). 
When Eco drive mode is selected, Eco  
drive mode indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning  
system in Eco drive mode 
Eco drive mode controls the heat- 
ing/cooling operations and fan speed of 
the air conditioning system to enhance  fuel efficiency. To improve air condition- 
ing performance, perform the following 
operations:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode 
(vehicles with an automatic air condi-
tioning system) ( P.430)
●Adjust the fan speed (P.423, 428)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of Sport  
mode 
If the engine switch is turned off after  driving in Sport mode, the drive mode  
will be changed to normal mode.

is designed to collect particu-
late matter in the exhaust 
gases using an exhaust gas fil-
ter installed to the exhaust 
pipes.

■To prevent the Exhaust Gas Filter  
system from failing
●Do not use fuel other than the spec- ified type
●Do not modify the exhaust pipe
