●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.

Precautions during use

using back-in parking assist mode
Intended parking spot
●The sensor detection range when using parallel parking assist mode
Intended parking spot
●When there is a parked vehicle behind
the target parking spot, it may not be detected due to the distance. Also,
depending on the shape of the vehicle
and other conditions, the detectable range may shorten or detection may
not be possible.
●Objects other than parked vehicles,
such as poles and walls, may not be
detected. Also, even if these objects can be detected, the target parking
spot may deviate.
Poles
Wall
●Also, the target parking spot may devi-
ate when a pedestrian, etc. is detected.
Pedestrian
●The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System may not operate if grating,
diamond plates or similar materials are detected on the surface of the
parking space.

■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
