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 obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
O Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
O There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obst acle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
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 beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
Q Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( P. 452, 454)
Q Obstacle detection in side areas
O Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
O Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after d riving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
O When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected e ven after it
has left the side sensor detection area.

Driving
QIf “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such case s, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a mal function dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sens or thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
Q If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota r etailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Q Customization
Settings (e.g. buzzer volume) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 724)
Q Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting i t. 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
Q Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular ins tances where this
may occur are listed below.
O There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
O A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In espe-
cially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display m ay be displayed
abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
O On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
O When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.

Q When removing and installing the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight a head for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or hi gher.
Q When “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator flashes
O Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures du e to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
O If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle i nspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, o r any reliable
repairer.
Q When “PKSB Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the multi-
information display, the PKSB OFF indicator flashes and the buz zer
sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle insp ected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer.
WARNING
Q Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the sys tem may
lead to an unexpected accident.
O Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Parking
Support Brake function can provide support to lessen the severi ty of colli-
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
O The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Supp ort Brake
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
O It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intentionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never at tempt such
actions.

GPF (Gasoline Par ticulate Filter) system
QIf “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
O The message may be displayed while high load driving with particulate mat-
ter accumulating.
O Hybrid system output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of
particulate matter accumulates, however, it is possible to driv e the vehicle
unless the malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
O Particulate matter can accumulate more quickly if the vehicle is frequently
driven short trips or at low s peeds, or if the hybrid system is regularly started
in an extremely cold environment. Excessive accumulation of par ticulate
matter can be prevented by periodically driving long distances continuously
with intermittent releasing of the accelerator pedal, such as w hen driving on
highways and freeways.
Q If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or “Exhaust Filter Full Visit
Your Dealer” is shown on the multi-information display
The amount of accumulated particulate matter has exceeded a cer tain level.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reli able repairer immediately.
The GPF system collects particulate matter in the exhaust gas
by using an exhaust gas filter.
The system will operate to regenerate the filter automatically,
depending on the vehicle conditions.
NOTICE
Q To prevent the GPF system from not operating properly
O Do not use fuel other than the specified type
O Do not modify the exhaust pipes

Winter driving tips
OUse fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
OHave a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt bat-
tery.
OHave the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
ODo not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
OTo ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
OCheck for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
ORemove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.
