O The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen, the screen may show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected.
O The sensor is covered in any way.
O On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass
O When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of ot her vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle.
O A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
O If objects draw too close to the sensor.
O When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
O When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
O Strong wind is blowing.
O When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
O When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object.
O If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.

O If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning.
O When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
Q If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such cases, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction dis-
play may appear or an object may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
Q If “Parking Assist Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Q If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will
return to normal.
Q Customization
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.

tions:
O The emergency flashers are turned on.
O The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
WARNING
Q The ABS does not operate effectively when
O The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
O The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
Q Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:

Winter driving tips
OUse fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
O Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
O Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
O Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
O To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
O Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
O Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
O Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic transmis-
sion) or 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
O Vehicles with automatic transmission: If the vehicle is parked with-
out setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the snow chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.

QTire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
O Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
O Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on the front tires.

O Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.
WARNING
QDriving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
O Use tires of the specified size.
O Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
O Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit spec-
ified for the snow tires being used.
O Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
Q Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
O Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
O Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
O Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
O Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
O Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert with Yaw Assist Function) system.
