●The screen illust rations used in
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may di ffer from the
image that is actually displayed on
the screen.
The parking assist monitor is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing
up. When backing up, be sure to
visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceeding. If
you do not, you may hit another
vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the
parking assist monitor.
Toyota parking assist
monitor*
The parking assist monitor
assists the driver by dis-
playing an image of the
view behind the vehicle
while backing up, for exam-
ple while parking.
When the display is
changed to the wide rear
view mode, a wider lateral
view behind the vehicle will
be displayed.

WARNING
●Never depend on the parking
assist monitor entirely when
backing up. The image and the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may differ
from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly,
depressing the brake pedal to
control vehicle speed.
●If you seem likely to hit nearby
vehicles, obstacles, people or
mount the shoulder, depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
●The instructions given are only
guidelines. When and how
much to turn the steering wheel
will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc.,
when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before
using the parking assist system.
●When parking, be sure to check
that the par king space will
accommodate your vehicle
before maneuveri ng into it.

monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
• When the tailgate is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or
slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other
than specified are installed
●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the
position of the guide lines dis-
played on the screen may
change.
●The camera uses a special lens.
The distances between objects
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.304)

●The image adjustment procedure
for the parking assist monitor
screen is the same as the proce-
dure for adjusting the screen dis-
play. (Refer to the “MULTIMEDIA

shown in the illustration.
■Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as

is adhering to the camera, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
In this case, flush it with a large
quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.

NOTICE
●The parking assist monitor may
not operate properly in the fol-
lowing cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the came ra or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply
The distance guidelines are pro-
jected on a horizontal surface,
distances on an upward sloping
surface appear farther from the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this , objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course on the road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes down
sharply
The distance guidelines are pro-
jected on a horizontal surface,
distances on an downward slop-
ing surface appear closer to the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be closer than they
actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guidelines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
