● 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 any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer. If the
front or rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

■ Side sensors
In the following situations, the Toyota parking assist-sensor may not operate
normally and may result in an unexpected accident. Drive carefully.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the vehicle is driven
for a short time and a scan of the side areas is completed. ( P. 388)
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles such as
other vehicles, people or animals that approach from the sides cannot be
detected.
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles may not be
detected depending on the surrounding situation of the vehicle.
At that time, the side sensor operation displays ( P. 382) temporary turn
off.

NOTICE
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode.
● When there is a wall or other obstacle on the inner side of the parking
space, or when another parked vehicle extends into the road from its park-
ing spot, the target parking spot may be set in a position that juts out
slightly into the road.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehi cle alignment as necessary.
● The system provides assistance to guide the vehicle based on position of
adjacent vehicles, even if there are obstacles, bumps, drops or curb
stones in the parking space.
If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the vehicle by depressing
the brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off the system.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● When the other parked vehicle is nar-
row or parked extremely close to the
curb, assist control will also guide the
vehicle to a position close to the curb.
If it seems the vehicle may make con-
tact with the curb or any other obsta-
cles, or if it seems the tire position will
deviate from the intended parking spot,
stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA
switch to turn off the system.
