turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key syste m) or the
engine  switch  is  turned  to  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  sm art
key system).
If  the  system  is  disabled,  the
PCS  warning  light  will  turn  on

Short
The  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  is
set  automatically  to  long  mode
when the engine switch is turned to
the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without
a  smart  key  system)  or  IGNITION
ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  smart
key system).
If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the preceding vehicle mar k will also be
displayed.
Select a distance from the tabl e below. Note that the distances shown
correspond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Vehicle-to-v ehicle
distance increases/decreases in accordance with vehicle speed.

■Intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key  system) or
the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode (with a smart key syst em).
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key  system) or
the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode (with a smart key syst em).
• The shift lever is in R.
■ Intuitive parking assist display
When  an  obstacle  is  detected  while  the  Toyota  parking  assist  mo nitor  is  in
use,  the  warning  indicator  will  appear  in  the  upper  part  of  the  screen  even  if
the display setting has been set to off.
■ Sensor detection information
●The  sensor’s  detection  areas  are  limited  to  the  areas  around  th e  vehicle’s
front corner and rear bumpers.
● 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 detected 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.
■ Objects which the system may not be properly detected
●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  d irection  of
your vehicle

Sounds and vibrations caused b y the downhill assist control system
● A  sound  may  be  heard  from  the  engine  compartment  when  the  engine  is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound do es not indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in downhill assist control syst em.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the downhill assist control
system  is  operating.  None  of  these  are  indicators  that  a  malfunction  has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■ System malfunction
In the following cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
●The  downhill  assist  control  system  indicator  does  not  come  on  w hen  the
engine  switch  is  turned  to  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key
system) or the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (veh icles with
a smart key system).
● The  downhill  assist  control  system  indicator  does  not  come  on  w hen  the
“DAC” switch is pressed.
● The slip indicator comes on. 
WARNING
■When using downhill assist control system
Do  not  rely  overmuch  on  the  downhill  assist  control  system.  Thi s  function
does  not  extend  the  vehicle’s  performance  limitations.  Always  t horoughly
check the road conditions, and drive safely.
■ The system may not operate on the following surfaces, which may  lead
to an accident causing death or serious injury
● Slippery surfaces such as wet or muddy roads
● Icy surface
● Unpaved roads

■Fogging up of the windows
●The  windows  will  easily  fog  up  when  the  humidity  in  the  vehicle  is  high.
Turning   on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
● If you turn   off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting  to  the  recirculated  air  mode  temporarily  is  recommended   in  prevent-
ing  dirty  air  from  entering  the  vehicle  interior  and  helping  to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air co ndition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the  air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the en gine switch
is  turned  to  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  or  the
engine  switch  is  turned  to  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  sm art  key
system).
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing
  .
■When the indicator light on   flashes
Press 
 to turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn  it on
again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if  the indicator
light  continues  to  flash.  Turn  the  air  conditioning  system  off  and  have  it
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

■ Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended  in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to  cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
● Outside/recirculated  air  mode  may  automatically  switch  dependin g  on  the
temperature  setting,  outside  temperature,  pressure,  engine  cool ant  tem-
perature or inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air co ndition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the  air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also

● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing
  .
■When the outside tempera ture falls to nearly 32F (0 C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when   is pre ssed.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
