QToyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
O The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
O Front corner sensor:
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.
O Rear corner and rear center sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
Q Sensor detection information
O The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
O Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
O Detection may be impossible if the objects draw too close to the sensor.
O 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 sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
O Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
O 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.
Q Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
O Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
O Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
O Sharply-angled objects
O Low objects
O Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
O Moving objects such as people or animals
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
Q Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
O There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)

WARNING
QCautions regarding the use of the system
There is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround-
ings and driving safely.
Q To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
O Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
O Do not attach a sticker or install an electronic component, such as a backlit
license plate (especially fluorescent type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-
less antenna near a radar sensor.
O Do not subject the surrounding area of the sensor to a strong impact. If
subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer. If the
front or rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
O Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
O Do not attach a license plate cover.
O Keep your tires properly inflated.
Q When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the function as it may operate even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
O Failing to observe the warnings above.
O A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
Q Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
O When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the
sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
O When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.

QFour-wheel drive usage frequency (vehicles with A.D.D.)
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.
Q Shifting between H2 and H4
If you have trouble shifting in cold w eather, reduce your speed or stop the
vehicle and reshift.
Q Shifting to L4 (vehicles with VSC)
VSC is automatically turned off.
Q When driving on dry paved surface roads and expressway
Use H2 position. If the vehicle is driven in H4 or L4 position for a long time, a
warning buzzer sounds, and the four-wheel drive indicator light flashes rap-
idly or a warning message is shown on the multi-information display. If the
warning message is shown on the multi-information display, follow the mes-
sage.
WARNING
Q While driving
O Never turn the front-wheel drive control switch from H2 to H4 if the wheels
are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
O For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, use H2 position. Driving
on dry and hard surface roads in H4 or L4 position may cause drive com-
ponent oil leakage, seizure, or other problems resulting in an accident.
Further, it may cause tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
O Avoid turning suddenly in H4 or L4 position. If you do turn suddenly, the
difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have
a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.

Q Unlocking the rear differential
If the rear differential lock indicator still flashes even after unlocking the rear
differential, check the safety of the surrounding area and slightly turn the
steering wheel in either direction while the vehicle is in motion.
Q Automatic system cancelation of the rear differential lock system
The rear differential lock is also unlocked in any of the following situations:
O The front-wheel drive control switch is turned to H2 or H4 (4WD models)
O The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or A CCESSORY or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
Q After unlocking the rear differential
Check that the indicator goes off.
WARNING
Q To avoid an accident
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in an accident.
O Do not use the rear differential lock system except when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or rugged surface. Large steering effort
and careful cornering control will be required.
O Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the dif-
ferential lock is engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to
possible damage to rear differential lock component parts.
O Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph) when the differential is locked.
O Do not keep driving with the rear differential lock switch on.
