In the following situ ations, regenera-
tive braking is restricted, and the ref-
erences for those restrictions are
displayed in the charge area.
• When the traction battery has a large amount of charge and can

energy into electrical energy.
*2: The actual restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle condi-
tion.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following sit uations, the cor-
rect outside temperature may not
be displayed, or the display may
take longer than normal to

Driving
■The system can be operated
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is
selected.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the
detection distance may shorten, or
detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static objects draw too close to the
sensor.
• There will be a short delay between static object detection
and display (warning buzzer
sounds). Even at low speeds,
there is a possibility that the object
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)
before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be diffic ult to hear the
buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be diffi cult to hear the
sound of this sys tem due to the
buzzers of other systems.
WARNING
●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 (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender pole or wireless
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 fr ont or rear
bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced,
contact 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 suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●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.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
