and the stop display ( P.290) is
shown on the display, stop the
vehicle.
7 Change the shift lever to D or M.
When you would like to end assist con-
trol at your current position, change the
shift lever to P.
8 Assume an ordinary driving pos-
ture, rest your hands lightly on
the steering wheel without
applying any force, directly con-
firm the safety of the area to the
front and around the vehicle and
slowly proceed forward while
adjusting your speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
9 When a level beep is emitted
and the stop display ( P.290) is
shown on the display, stop the
vehicle.
10 Change the shift lever to R.
11 Assume an ordinary posture for
backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel
without applying any force,
directly confirm the safety of the
area to the rear and around the
vehicle slowly back up while
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 ( P.290),
stop the vehicle.
This completes the back-in parking
assist mode.
For safety, the buzzer sounds
slightly before the vehicle is com-
pletely entered within the target
parking spot. Furthermore, at
that point, system operation will
also finish. Firmly hold the steer-
ing wheel and slowly back up

Precautions during use
3124-5. Using the driving support systems
WA R N I N G
●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 syst em 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 posi-
tion the vehicle in the set location in the following situations.
• The tires are extremely worn or the
tire pressure is low
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy
load
• The vehicle is tilted due to having
luggage, etc. located on one side of the vehicle
• There are road heaters installed in the parking lot to prevent the road
surface from freezing.
In any other situations when the set
position and vehicle position greatly
differ, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

●Make sure to observe the following
precautions regarding the exit par-
allel parking assist mode. Exit parallel parking assist mode is
a function used when departing
from a parallel parking spot. How- ever, this function may not be usa-
ble if obstacles or people are
detected in front of the vehicle. Only
use this function when departing from a parallel parking spot. In the
event that the steering control oper-
ates, either turn the system off using the S-IPA switch or operate
the steering wheel to stop the con-
trol.
●If exit parallel parking assist mode
is mistakenly used in the following situations, the vehicle may make
contact with an obstacle.
The departure function is operated in a direction where an obstacle is
present, but the obstacle is not
detected by the side sensors (situa- tions such as when the vehicle is
directly beside a pole).
●Observe the following precautions,
as the sensors may stop function-
ing properly which may lead to an accident.
• Do not subject the sensor to strong
shocks by hitting it, etc. The sen- sors may not function properly.
• When using a high-pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not
spray water directly on the sensors.
Equipment may not function prop- erly if subjected to an impact from
strong water pressure. If the vehicle
bumper strikes something, equip- ment may not operate properly due
to a sensor malfunction. Have the
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●In the following situations, the sen- sors 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.265)
• Even after the scan of the side
areas is completed, obstacles such as other vehicles, people or ani-
mals that approach from the sides
cannot be detected.
• The sensor is frozen (if it thaws, the
system returns to normal). 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 some- one’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 roads, in areas with tall grass, etc.
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or sensors
of another vehicle, a motorcycle
engine or the air brake of a large vehicle.
• Heavy rain or a water strikes the vehicle.
• The angle of the sensor may be deviated when assist control starts
even if there is a parked vehicle in
the target parking spot. Have the
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Do not install any accessories
within the sensor detection range.

system changes betw een sport mode
and normal mode.
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic per-
formance. Suitable for normal driving.

Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration.
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
