QTips for using the back-in parking assist mode
O 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 vehi-
cles.
O Stop so that the center of the target
parking spot is perpendicular to the vehi-
cle. Furthermore, only push the S-IPA
switch when the vehicle is at a complete
stop.
NOTICE
O 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 an gle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the b ack-in park-
ing assist mode.
O When parking in a narrow space, the vehicle will come close to adjacent
vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the ve hicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
O 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 ve hicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing t he brake
pedal.
O Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehi cle alignment as necessary.

WARNING
OObserve the following precautions, as the sensors may stop functioning
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 prope rly if
subjected to an impact from strong water pressure. If the vehic le
bumper strikes something, equipm ent may not operate properly due to
a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected at any authori zed
Toyota retailer or Toyota author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
O In the following situations, the sensors 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. 456)
• Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles such as
other vehicles, people or animals that approach from the sides cannot
be detected.
• The sensor is frozen (if it thaws, the system returns to norma l).
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 someone’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 road s, in areas
with tall grass, etc.
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or senso rs of
another vehicle, a motorcycle engine or the air brake of a larg e vehicle.
• Heavy rain or a water strikes the vehicle.
• The angle of the sensor may be deviated when assist control st arts
even if there is a parked vehicle in the target parking spot. H ave the
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota a uthorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Do not install any accessories within the sensor detection ran ge.
