WARNING
■For safe use
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Parking
Support Brake function can provide support to lessen the severity of colli-
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
● The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Support Brake
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
■ In order for the system to operate properly
Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the sensors
( P. 362). Failure to observe these precautions may cause the sensors
not to operate properly, and may result in an unexpected accident.
● Do not perform work such as modification, disassembly or painti ng
● Only perform replacements using genuine parts
● Do not subject the area around the sensors to any impacts
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli ne of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from correctly detecting obstac les, may
cause the system not operate, or may cause the system to operat e unnec-
essarily.

NOTICE
■Preventing sensor malfunctions
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, equipment may not
operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer.
● When using a high-pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray
water directly on the sensors. The sensors may not function pro perly if
subjected to an impact from strong water pressure.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too c lose to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
■ Preventing unnecessary operation
In the following situations, turn the Parking Support Brake function off. The
system may operate even though there is no possibility of a col lision.
● A chassis roller, chassis dynamo, free roller or similar equipment is being
used for an inspection, etc.
● The vehicle is being loaded onto a ship, truck or other transpo rt vessel
● The suspension has been lowered or tires that have a different size than
the genuine tires are equipped
● The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the carried load
(the nose tilts up or down).
● A towing hook is installed
● When using an automatic car wash

S-APGS (Simple Advanced Parking Guidance
System)

■Function summary
The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System automatically
operates the steering wheel to provide support when backing into
an area near a target parking spot, and when departing from a par-
allel parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adju st-
ment when moving forward or backing up are not performed
automatically.)
● The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System does not park
the vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support
when pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot.
● The Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System provides steer-
ing wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the
selected intended parking spot. The selected intended parking
spot may not always be reach able, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of parking, and the distance to the
intended parking spot.
■Linking with the Parki ng Support Brake function
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating,
if the system detects an obstacl e that could result in a collision, the
emergency brakes operate, regardl ess of whether the Parking Sup-
port Brake function is on or off. ( P. 375)
: If equipped

WARNING
●When backing up or proceeding forward, be sure to directly conf irm the
safety of the area to the front or rear, and the area around th e vehicle, and
slowly back up or proceed forward while adjusting the vehicle s peed by
depressing the brake pedal.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, ano ther vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-APGS switch ( P. 376) to turn the system off.

■Parking Support Brake function while the Simple Advanced Parkin g
Guidance System is operating
While the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operating, if the sys-
tem detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybri d system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Br ake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake funct ion is on or
off. ( P. 362)
● After the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Advanced Parking Guidance System is temporarily stopped, and operation
of the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi -information
display. ( P. 366)
● When operation of the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System i s
stopped 3 times by operation of the Parking Support Brake funct ion, the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is canceled.
● Once the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System becomes availa ble
after the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting
you to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Ope ration of the
Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System can be resumed by shift ing
according to the prompt on the multi-information display and pr essing the
S-APGS switch ( P. 376) again.
■ Shifting while the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System is operat-
ing
If the system determines that the drivers intends to move forward or in
reverse, assistance continues even if the drivers shifted before being
prompted to do so by the system. However, because driver operat ion differs
from the guidance provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers
may increase.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Custo mizable fea-
tures: P. 780)

■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control star ting position, and then the parallel
parking assist mode can be us ed. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assi st
control is also prov ided if necessary.
Continue moving forward
with the vehicle parallel to
the curb or road, and stop so
that the center of the target
parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle.
Then press the S-APGS
switch 1 time to select the
parallel parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position wher e assist control can be used to
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering
wheel auto oper ation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the si de of the
road across from the parking space) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of t he
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repea ted any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from the
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.
