The camera for the parking 
assist monitor is located as 
shown in the illustration.
■Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as 
water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) 
is adhering to the camera, it 
cannot transmit a clear image. 
In this case, flush it with a large 
quantity of water and wipe the 
camera lens clean with a soft 
and wet cloth.
The camera
NOTICE
●The parking assist monitor may 
not operate properly in the fol-
lowing cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit,  the position and mounting angle 
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water  proof construction, do not 
detach, disassemble or modify 
it. This may cause incorrect 
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens,  flush the camera with a large 
quantity of water and wipe it 
with a soft and wet cloth. 
Strongly rubbing the camera 
lens may cause the camera lens 
to be scratched and unable to 
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent,  car wax, window cleaner or a 
glass coating to adhere to the 
camera. If this happens, wipe it 
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is 
poured on the vehicle in cold 
weather, the system may not 
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do  not apply intensive bursts of 
water to the came ra or camera 
area. Doing so may result in the 
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to 
strong impact as this could 
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer 
as soon as possible.

The distance guide lines and 
the vehicle width guide lines 
may not actually be parallel 
with the dividing lines of the 
parking space, even when 
they appear to be so. Be sure 
to check visually.
 The distances between the 
vehicle width guide lines and 
the left and right dividing lines 
of the parking space may not 
be equal, even when they 
appear to be so. Be sure to 
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give 
a distance guide for flat road 
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide 
lines on the screen and the 
actual distance/course on the 
road.
■When the ground behind 
the vehicle slopes up 
sharply
The distance guide lines will 
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance. 
Because of this, objects will 
appear to be farther away than 
they actually are. In the same 
way, there will be a margin of 
error between the guidelines 
and the actual distance/course 
on the road.Differences between the 
screen and the actual

■When the ground behind 
the vehicle slopes down 
sharply
The distance guide lines will 
appear to be farther from the 
vehicle than the actual distance. 
Because of this , objects will 
appear to be closer than they

there will be a margin of error 
between the guidelines and the 
actual distance/course on the 
road.■When any part of the vehi-
cle sags
When any part of the vehicle 
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the 
load, there is a margin of error 
between the guide lines on the 
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

The estimated course lines tar-
get flat surfaced objects (such 
as the road). It is not possible to 
determine the position of 
three-dimensional objects (such 
as vehicles) using the estimated 
course lines and distance guide 
lines. When approaching a 
three-dimensional object that 
extends outward (such as the 
flatbed of a truck), be careful of 
the following.
■Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings 
and the area behind the vehicle. 
In the case shown below, the 
truck appears to be outside of 
the estimated course lines and 
the vehicle does not look as if it 
hits the truck. However, the rear 
body of the truck may actually 
cross over the estimated course 
lines. In reality if you back up as 
guided by the estimated course 
lines, the vehicle may hit the 
truck.

*: If equipped
●The screen illustra tions used in 
this text are intended as exam-
ples, and may differ from the 
image that is actually displayed on  the screen.
The panoramic view monitor is a 
supplemental device intended to 
assist the driver when checking 
around the vehicle. When using, 
be sure to visually check all 
around the vehicle both directly 
and using the mirrors before 
proceeding. If you do not, you 
may hit another vehicle or possi-
bly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following 
precautions when using the 
panoramic view monitor.
Panoramic view moni-
tor*
Panoramic view monitor 
assists the driver in viewing 
the surroundings, when 
operating at low speeds, by 
combining the front, side 
and rear cameras and dis-
playing a complete vehicle 
overhead image on the 
screen.
Vehicles without a smart 
key system
When you press the camera 
switch or shift the shift lever 
to the “R” position while the 
engine switch is in “ON” 
position, the panoramic 
view monitor operates.
 Vehicles with a smart key 
system
When you press the camera 
switch or shift the shift lever 
to the “R” position while the 
engine <power> switch is in 
IGNITION ON <ON> mode, 
the panoramic view monitor 
operates.
The monitor displays vari-
ous views of the position 
and surroundings of the 
vehicle.
Driving precautions
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on the panoramic 
view monitor entirely. The 
image and the position of the 
guide lines displayed on the 
screen may differ from the 
actual state. Use caution just as 
you would when driving any 
other vehicle.
●Always make sure to check all 
around the vehicle with your 
own eyes when driving.
●Never drive while looking only at 
the screen as the image on the 
screen is different from actual 
conditions. If you are driving 
while looking only at the screen, 
you may hit a  person or an 
object, resulting in an accident. 
When driving, be sure to check 
the vehicle’s surroundings with 
your own eyes and the vehicle’s 
mirrors.
