■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
●Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
●Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
●There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
●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 beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.

■ Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer.
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
● Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after driving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected even after it
has left the side sensor detection area.
■ 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 obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
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.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. buzzer volume) can be changed.

■ 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
■ Situations in which the system 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 the area will resolve this problem.) In espe-
cially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display 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 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
● When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround-
ings and driving safely.
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions to avoid an unexpected 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 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
repairer.
● 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.
■ 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.

WARNING
■Notes when washing the vehicle
● Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
NOTICE
■ When using 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 obstacles 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.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

■ When removing and installing the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight ahead for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or higher.
■ When “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator flashes
● Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures due to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■ When “PKSB Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the multi-
information display, the PKSB OFF indicator flashes and the buzzer
sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Parking
Support Brake function can provide suppor t to lessen the severity of colli-
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
● The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Support Brake
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
● It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intentionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such
actions.
