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.

■Sensor detection range
The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function differs from the
detection range of the Toyota parking assist-sensor. (P. 386)
Therefore, even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor detects an obstacle and
provides a warning, the Parking Support Brake function may not start operat-
ing.
■System operation
When the vehicle is stopped by system operation, the Parking Support Brake
function stops and the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates.
■System recovery
When the Parking Support Brake function is stopped by system operation
and you would like to resume operation, either turn the Parking Support
Brake function on again (P. 396), or turn the power switch off and then back
on. Furthermore, when the vehicle moves with an obstacle no longer in the
traveling direction of the vehicle, or when the traveling direction of the vehicle
changes (such as when switching from moving forward to backing up, and
vice versa), system operation automatically resumes.
■Obstacles not detected by the sensors
The following obstacles may not be detected by the sensors.
●Objects such as people, cloth and snow, that are difficult for sonic waves to
reflect off of. (In particular, people may also not be detected depending on
the type of clothing they are wearing.)
●Objects not perpendicular with the ground, objects not at a right angle to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, uneven objects or waving objects
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
P. 389
■Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
P. 390
■In the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake function mistakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake function mistakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the area. Fur-
thermore, brake control is also canceled when the brake pedal is depressed.
Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed forward and
leave the area.

S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System)
■Function summary
The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System automatically oper-
ates the steering wheel to provide support when backing into an
area near a target parking spot, and when departing from a parallel
parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adjustment
when moving forward or backing up are not performed automati-
cally.)
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support when
pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot.
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System provides steering
wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the
selected intended parking spot. The selected intended parking
spot may not always be reachable, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of parking, and the distance to the
intended parking spot.
■Linking with the Parking Support Brake function
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if
the system detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, the
emergency brakes operate, regardless of whether the Parking Sup-
port Brake function is on or off. ( P. 407)

WARNING
●When backing up or proceeding forward, be sure to directly confirm the
safety of the area to the front or rear, and the area around the vehicle, and
slowly back up or proceed forward while adjusting the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-IPA switch ( P. 408) to turn the system off.

■Parking Support Brake function while the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Brake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake function is on or
off. (P. 396)
●After the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System is temporarily stopped, and operation of
the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi-information dis-
play. (P. 400)
●When operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is stopped 3
times by operation of the Parking Support Brake function, the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System is canceled.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after
the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting you
to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System can be resumed by shifting according to
the prompt on the multi-information display and pressing the S-IPA switch
(P. 408) again.
■Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
If the system determines that the driver intends to move forward or in reverse,
assistance continues even if the driver shifted before being prompted to do so
by the system. However, because driver operation differs from the guidance
provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers may increase.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P. 670)
