Intuitive parking assist
: If equipped
The  distance  from  your  vehicle  to  nearby  objects  when  parallel
parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by  the  sen-
sors  and  communicated  via  the  multi-information  display  and  a
buzzer. Always check the surro unding area when using this sys-
tem.

■ Muting the buzzer sound
●To mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by pressing   of the meter c on-
trol  switches  while  an  object  detection  display  is  shown  on  the   multi-infor-
mation display.
● To cancel the mute
Mute will be automatically cancelled in the following situation s.
• When the shift position is changed
• When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
• When the intuitive parking assist is turned off once and turned on again
• When  the  engine  switch  is  turned  off  once  and  turned  to  IGNITI ON  ON
mode again

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

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’ surroundings
and driving safely.
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  the  vehicle  being  unable  to  be  driven  safely
and possibly cause an 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.
■ Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor a rea.
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 malfunction.
● When using an automatic car wash, disable the intuitive parking  assist

other vehicles approaching from the right or left rear of the v ehicle. It
uses radar  sensors  to alert  the  driver of the  other vehicle’s existence
through flashing the outside rear  view  mirror indicators and so unding

Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle
The  RCTA  function  is  not  designed  to  detect  the  following  types   of  vehicles
and/or objects: 
● Vehicles approaching from directly behind
● Vehicles backing up in the parking space next to your vehicle
*
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationar y objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehic le

●The distance between the sensor and approaching vehicle gets to o close
*: Depending  on  the  conditions,  detection  of  a  vehicle  and/or  obj ect  may
occur.

unction (static objects)
Ultrasonic sensors are used to  detect static objects, such as a wall,
in  the  detection  area  when  driving  at  a  low  speed  or  backing  up .

■Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
Rear radar sensors are used to detect approaching vehicles in t he
detection area behind the v ehicle when backing up. (P. 372)
PKSB (Parking Suppor t Brake)
: If equipped
The  Parking  Support  Brake  system  consists  of  the  following
functions  that  operate  when  dr iving  at  a  low  speed  or  backing
up, such as when parking. When  the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with  a detected object is high, a wa rning
operates  to  urge  the  driver  to  take  evasive  action.  If  the  syst em
determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  collision  with  a  detected
object is extremely high, the br akes are automatically applied to
help  avoid  the  collision  or  help  reduce  the  impact  of  the  colli -
sion.
