■Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
● The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
● Front corner sensor:
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
The shift lever is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
● The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Detection may be impossible if the objects draw too close to the sensor.
● There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ 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 direction of your
vehicle
● Moving objects such as people or animals
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
■ Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)

● The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen, the screen may show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected.
● The sensor is covered in any way.
● 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 ot her 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 ultrasonic 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 detection range.
● Strong wind is blowing.
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
● When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and 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.
● If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact.
● When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow.
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning.
● When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
● When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold

● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning.
● When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
■ 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 cases, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction dis-
play may appear or an object may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will
return to normal.
■ Customization
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 648)
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.

NOTICE
■When using the Toyota parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Toyota parking assist-sensor operation display flashes, and a beep
sounds when no objects 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.

■Four-wheel drive usage frequency (vehicles with A.D.D.)
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.
■ Shifting between H2 and H4
If you have trouble shifting in cold w eather, reduce your speed or stop the
vehicle and reshift.
■ Shifting to L4 (vehicles with VSC)
VSC is automatically turned off.
■ When driving on dry paved surface roads and expressway
Use H2 position. If the vehicle is driven in H4 or L4 position for a long time, a
warning buzzer sounds, and the four-wheel drive indicator light flashes rap-
idly or a warning message is shown on the multi-information display. If the
warning message is shown on the multi-information display, follow the mes-
sage.
WARNING
■ While driving
● Never turn the front-wheel drive control switch from H2 to H4 if the wheels
are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, use H2 position. Driving
on dry and hard surface roads in H4 or L4 position may cause drive com-
ponent oil leakage, seizure, or other problems resulting in an accident.
Further, it may cause tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
● Avoid turning suddenly in H4 or L4 position. If you do turn suddenly, the
difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have
a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.

■Locking the rear differential
The following systems do not operate w hen the rear differential is locked.
It is normal operation for the ABS warning light, VSC OFF indicator (if
equipped) and “TRC OFF” indicator (if equipped) to be on or for “TRC turned
off” to be displayed on the multi-information display (if equipped) at this time.
•ABS
• Brake assist (if equipped)
• VSC (if equipped)
• TRC/A-TRC (if equipped)
• Trailer Sway Control (if equipped)
• Hill-start assist control (if equipped)
• Downhill assist control (if equipped)
■ Unlocking the rear differential
If the rear differential lock indicator still flashes even after unlocking the rear
differential, check the safety of the surrounding area and slightly turn the
steering wheel in either direction while the vehicle is in motion.
■ Automatic system cancelation of the rear differential lock system
The rear differential lock is also unlocked in any of the following situations:
● The front-wheel drive control switch is turned to H2 or H4 (4WD models)
● The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or A CCESSORY or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
■ After unlocking the rear differential
Check that the indicator goes off.
WARNING
■ To avoid an accident
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in an accident.
● Do not use the rear differential lock system except when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or rugged surface. Large steering effort
and careful cornering control will be required.
● Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the dif-
ferential lock is engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to
possible damage to rear differential lock component parts.
● Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph) when the differential is locked.
● Do not keep driving with the rear differential lock switch on.
