Liquid crystal display
Small  spots  or  light  spots  may  appear  on  the  display.  This  phen omenon  is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no prob lem continuing to
use the display.
■ Setting display automatic suspension
In the following situations, the setting display will be suspen ded.
● When a message appears.
● When the vehicle begins to move.
CAUTION
■The display at low temperatures
Allow  the  interior  of  the  vehicle  to  warm  up  before  using  the  d isplay.  At
extremely  low  temperatures,  the  display  monitor  may  respond  slo wly,  and
display changes may be delayed.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display , ensure that
the  vehicle  is  parked  in  a  place  with  adequate  ventilation.  In  a  closed  area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxi de (CO)
may  collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  serious
health hazard.

Types of sensors
■Intuitive parking assist switch
Turns  the  intuitive  parking
assist on/off
When  on,  the  indicator  light
comes  on  and  the  buzzer
sounds  to inform the  driver  that
the system i
s operational.
Intuitive parking assist
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel  parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by  the
sensors  and  communicated  via  t he  multi-information  display
and  a  buzzer.  Always  check  the  surrounding  area  when  using
this system.

Sensor detection information
●The  sensor’s  detection  areas  are  limited  to  the  areas  around  th e  vehicle’s
front corner and rear bumpers.
● Certain  vehicle  conditions  and  the  surrounding  environment  may  affect  the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. 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  ma y  show  an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on gr ass.
• The  vicinity  of  the  vehicle  is  noisy  due  to  vehicle  horns,  motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises pro ducing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There  is  another  vehicle  equipped  with  parking  assist  sensors  in  the
vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna .
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is i nstalled.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types o f clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their  shape,  signs  and  other  objects  may  be  judged  by  the  senso r  to  be
closer than they are.
● The  shape  of  the  obstacle  may  prevent  the  sensor  from  detecting  it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall  obstacles  with  upper  sections  projecting  outwards  in  the  direction  of your vehicle

Driving
4RUNNER (U)●
The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the  shape  of the obstacle  and other factors, the  detection
distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sen sor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and dis play. Even
at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will c ome within the
sensor’s  detection  areas  before  the  display  is  shown  and  the  wa rning
beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detecte d for colli-
sion 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 air conditioning system.

CAUTION
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  the  vehicle  being  unable  to  be  d riven  safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward  or  reversing,  check  the  areas  surrounding  the  vehicle  ( especially
the  sides  of  the  vehicle)  for  safety,  and  drive  slowly,  using  t he  brake  to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist-sensor
In  the  following  situations,  the  system  may  not  function  correctly  due  to  a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota  dealer.
● The  intuitive  parking  assist  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 continuously without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If  the  error  occurs  even  if  there  is  no  ice,  snow  or  mud  on  the   sensor,  it  is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■ 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.
