●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be far-
ther 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.
● When the ground behind the ve hicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be
closer 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.

●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of
passengers or the distribu-
tion of the load, there is a
margin of error between the
fixed guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
■When approaching thre e-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfac ed
objects (such as the road). It i s not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional object s (such as vehicles) using the vehi-
cle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approachin g a
three-dimensional object that ext ends outward (such as the flatbed
of a truck), be careful of the following.
● Distance guide lines
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. On the screen, it
appears that a truck is
parked at point . However,
in reality if you back up to
point , you will hit the
truck. On the screen, it
appears that is closest
and is farthest away.
However, in reality, the dis-
tance to and is the
same, and is farther than
and .

Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the ve hi-
cle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hi ts the
truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over
the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as gui ded by
the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.

WARNING
■When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist
the driver when backing up. When backing up, be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before p roceeding. If
you do not, you may hit another vehicle, and could possibly cau se an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the following precautions when using the rear view monitor
system.
● Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when back ing up.
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 backing up any vehicle.
● Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to contro l vehicle
speed.
● The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary accordin g to traf-
fic conditions, road surface conditions, vehicle condition, etc . when park-
ing. It is necessary to be fully aware of this before using the rear view
monitor system.
● When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will acco mmodate
your vehicle before maneuvering into it.
● Do not use the rear view monitor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or the compact spare tire
• When the trunk lid is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slop es.
● In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may bec ome
faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or y ou may
become unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to visual ly check
all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors befo re proceed-
ing.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed
on the screen may change.
● The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects a nd
pedestrians that appear in the image displayed on the screen wi ll differ
from the actual distances. ( P. 250)

NOTICE
■How to use the camera
● The rear view monitor system may not operate properly in the fo llowing
cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting a ngle of the
camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassem- ble 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 rubbin g the cam-
era lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable t o
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate norm ally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of wat er to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfun c-
tioning.
● Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunc-
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyot a dealer as
soon as possible.

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the s ystem from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an exten ded period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should thi s occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The
EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

operate:
● Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: The shift l ever is in a
position other than P or N (when starting off forward/backward on an upward
incline)
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is in a po sition other
than R when starting off forward on an upward incline, or the s hift lever is in
R when starting off backward on an upward incline.
● The vehicle is stopped
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed
● The parking brake is not engaged
■ Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the follo wing situations:
● Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: The shift l ever is shifted
to P or N
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when
starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever i s shifted to other
than R when starting off backward on an upward incline.
