■If “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.
■ 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 your Toyota dealer.
■ Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. buzzer volume) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 749)
■ 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:
● Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
● Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects
● Low objects
● Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the dir ection of your
vehicle
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
● 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.
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and cont rol perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicl e’s surround-
ings and driving safely.
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions to avoid an unexpected accident.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
● 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.
● Do not subject the surrounding area of the sensor to a strong impact. If
subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
If the front or rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not attach a license plate cover.
● Keep your tires properly inflated.
■ 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.
● Failing to observe the warnings above.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■ Side sensors
In the following situations, the intuitive parking assist may n ot operate nor-
mally and may result in an unexpected accident. Drive carefully.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the vehicle is driven
for a short time and a scan of the side areas is completed. ( P. 446)
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles s uch as
other vehicles, people or animals that approach from the sides cannot be
detected.
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles may not be
detected depending on the surrounding situation of the vehicle.
At that time, the side sensor operation displays ( P. 442) temporary turn
off.

WARNING
■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.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too c lose to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
NOTICE
■ When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
● Intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a beep sounds when
no obstacles are detected.
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
● If the bumper collides with something.
● If the display shows up and remains on without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

■When “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator flashes
●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.
● 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 inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
■ When “PKSB Malfunction Visit You r 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 inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● 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 severity of colli-
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
● The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Support Brake
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
● It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by int entionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never at tempt such
actions.

■Parking Support Brake function while the Simple Advanced Parkin g
Guidance System is operating
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating, if the sys-
tem detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybri d system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Br ake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake funct ion is on or
off. ( P. 453)
● After the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Advanced Parking Guidance System is temporarily stopped, and operation
of the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi -information
display. ( P. 457)
● When operation of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System i s
stopped 3 times by operation of the Parking Support Brake funct ion, the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is canceled.
● Once the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System becomes availa ble
after the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting
you to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Ope ration of the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System can be resumed by shift ing
according to the prompt on the multi-information display and pr essing the
S-APGS switch ( P. 465) again.
■ Shifting while the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operat-
ing
If the system determines that the driver intends to move forwar d or in reverse,
assistance continues even if the driver shifted before being prompted to do so
by the system. However, because driver operation differs from the guidance
provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers may inc rease.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Custo mizable fea-
tures: P. 749)
