■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the following
vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the presence
of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear view mirrors.
Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the outside
rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidl y from behind in areas that are not
visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
■The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of each detection area is:
Approximately 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) from either side of the
vehicle*1
Approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) from the rear bumper
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) to 60 m (197 ft.) from the rear bumper*2
*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) from the side of the
Blind Spot Monitor operation

■Cautions regarding the use of
the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your
surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supple-
mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the
vehicle. As the RCTA function may
not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is necessary.
Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting death or
serious injury.

adjusting your speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, steps 6 to 11 may need to be repeated.
12 When the vehicle is almost
entirely within the target parking
spot, a high-pitched beep is
emitted and the stop display is
shown on the display, stop the
vehicle.
This completes th e parallel parking assist mode.
 After stopping, feel free to
maneuver the vehicle to 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.
■Parallel parking assist mode oper-
ating conditions
●In order to operate the parallel parking
assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at
a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly stopped) parallel to the road
(or shoulder) while maintaining a dis-
tance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) to any parked vehicles.
●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 parallel parking assist
mode cannot be operated.
●If unable to detect the environment
surrounding the parking space, the
parallel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
●Guidance will continue until the vehi-cle speed meets or exceeds approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph) or the
function is turned off using the S-IPA switch.
■Timing for pressing the S-IPA
switch
In the following cases, the assist mode may also operate during the steps taken
to park using the parallel parking assist
mode. However, in th ese cases, conduct parking procedures according to the
information on the mu lti-information dis-
play.
●In step 1 the S-IPA switch is pressed
after already passing over the target parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step 1,
pressing the S-IPA switch 1 time while
the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel Parking” and proceed
directly to step 2.
●The vehicle is moved up to the posi-
tion in step 3 without the S-IPA switch
being pressed. Then the S-IPA switch is pressed after having changed the

 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 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.
