WARNING
■Caution while driving
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. 
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and caus e an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ After adjusting the steering wheel
Make sure that the steering wheel is securely locked. 
Otherwise,  the  steering  wheel  may  move  suddenly,  possibly  causi ng  an
accident,  and  resulting  in  death  or  serious  injury.  Also,  the  horn  may  not
sound if the steering wheel is not securely locked.

Objects which the system may not be properly detected
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 t he area will resolve this problem .)
In  especially  cold  weather,  if  a  sensor  is  frozen  the  sensor  di splay  may  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  vehicle  horns,  vehicle  detectors,  motorcycle  engines,  air  brakes  of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other  devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● If objects draw too close to the sensor.
● When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ult rasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
● When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the d etection range.
● Strong wind is blowing
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandst orm
● When  an  object  that  cannot  be  detected  is  between  the  vehicle  a nd  a
detected object
● If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●
When  a  sensor  or  the  area  around  a
sensor is extremely hot or cold. 

3424-5. Using the driving support systems
CAMRY_U●
If  the  orientation  of  a  sensor  has  been  changed  due  to  a  collis ion  or  other
impact
● When  equipment  that  may  obstruct  a  sensor  is  installed,  such  as  a towing
eyelet,  bumper  protector  (an  additional  trim  strip,  etc.),  bicy cle  carrier,  or
snow plow
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the car ried load
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as whe n the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
● When a tire chains or compact spare tire is used
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no  possibil-
ity of a collision
In  some  situations,  such  as  the  following,  the  system  may  opera te  even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
● When  driving  toward  a  banner,  flag,  low-hanging  branch  or  boom  barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parking lots)
● When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
● When  driving  on  a  metal  cover  (grating),  such  as  those  used  for   drainage
ditches
● When driving up or down a steep slope
● If  a  sensor  is  hit  by  a  large  amount  of  water,  such  as  when  dri ving  on  a
flooded road
● There  is  dirt,  snow,  water  drops  or  ice  on  a  sensor.  (Cleaning  the  sensors
will resolve this problem.)
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandst orm
● When  vehicle  horns,  vehicle  detectors,  motorcycle  engines,  air  brakes  of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other  devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●
When driving on a narrow road
●When strong winds are blowing

When trouble arises
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank. 
Refuel the vehicle.
● The engine may be flooded. 
Try to restart the engine again following correct starting proc edures.
(  P. 209, 211)
● There may be a malf unction in the engine immobilizer system. 
(  P. 80)
One of the following may be  the cause of the problem:
● The battery may be discharged. ( P. 562)
● The battery terminal connecti ons may be loose or corroded.
The engine starting system may be malfunctioning due to an elec trical
problem  such  as  electronic  key  battery  depletion  or  a  blown  fus e.
However, an interim measure is a vailable to start the engine. 
(  P. 558)
If  the engine will not star t
If  the  engine  will  not  start  eve n  though  correct  starting  proce -
dures are being followed ( P. 209, 211), consider each of the fol-
lowing points:
The engine will not start even t hough the starter motor operates
normally.
The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and he ad-
lights  are  dim,  or  the  horn  does  not  sound  or  sounds  at  a  low
volume.
The  starter  motor  does  not  turn  over  (vehicles  with  a  smart  key
system) 

5587-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAMRY_U
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● One or both of the battery t erminals may be disconnected.
● The battery may be discharged. ( P. 562)
Contact  your  Toyota  dealer  if  the  problem  cannot  be  repaired,  o r  if  repair
procedures are unknown.
When the engine does not start, the following steps can be used  as an
interim measure to start the engine if the engine switch is fun ctioning
normally:
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Turn the engine switch to ACCESSORY mode.
Press  and  hold  the  engine  switch  for  about  15  seconds  while
depressing the brake pedal firmly.
Even  if  the  engine  can  be  start ed  using  the  above  steps,  the  sy stem
may  be  malfunctioning.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  your  Toyot a
dealer.
The starter motor does not turn over, the interior lights and h ead-
lights do not turn on, o r the horn does not sound.

●Did anyone inside the vehicle open a door during setting the alarm? 
The sensor detects it and the alarm sounds. ( P. 82)
●Vehicles without a smart key system: 
To  stop  the  alarm,  turn  the  engine  switch  to  the  “ON”  position  or  start  the
engine.
Vehicles with a smart key system: 
To  stop  the  alarm,  turn  the  engine  switch  to  IGNITION  ON  mode  o r  start
the engine.
●Is the message displayed on the multi-information display?
Check the message on the multi-information display. ( P. 538)
●When a warning light turns on or a warning message is displayed , refer to
P. 528, 538.
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place  and replace the flat tire with the spare
tire. ( P. 543)
●Try  the  procedure  for  when  the  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in  mud,  di rt,  or
snow. ( P. 570)
An alarm is activated and the horn sounds
A warning buzzer sounds w hen leaving the vehicle
