screen will be displayed if the
shift lever is shifted to the “R”
position while the engine switch
is in ON.
Vehicle width guide line
Displays a guide path when the
vehicle is being backed straight up.
• The displayed width is wider than
the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
This line indicates the estimated
vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line
Shows distance behind the vehicle.
• Displays a point approximately
1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the edge
of the bumper.
Distance guide line
Shows distance behind the vehicle.
• Displays a point approximately 3
ft. (1 m) (blue) from the edge of
the bumper.
The rear view monitor system is
canceled when the shift lever is
shifted into any position other
than the “R” position.

●In low temperatures, the screen
may darken or the image may
become faint. The image could
distort when the vehicle is mov-
ing, or you may become unable
to see the image on the screen.
Be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before
proceeding.
●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
and pedestrians that appear in
the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual
distances. (P.173)

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 guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
NOTICE
●The rear view monitor system
may not operate properly in the
following 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 camera 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.

Peripheral monitoring system
The distance guide lines are dis-
played according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is
not possible to determine the
position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using
the vehicle width guide lines and
distance guide lines. When
approaching a three-dimen-
sional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), be careful of the follow-
ing.
■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 vehicle width guide 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 vehicle width
guide lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the vehicle
width guide lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck.Vehicle width guide lines

Checking the sides of the vehicle
The image from the both side cameras is displayed and
assists the driver to check conditions on the sides of the
vehicle or to confirm the safety of narrow roads.
To display the Side views screen, press the camera switch

tion screen.
●For details about the intuitive parking assist, refer to the “OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
In addition to screen switching
by operating the camera switch,
automatic display mode is avail-
able. In this mode, the screen is
switched automatically in
response to vehicle speed.
Each time is selected,
automatic display mode is
enabled/disabled.
In automatic display mode, the
monitor will automatically dis-
play images in the following situ-
ations:
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: When the shift
lever is shifted to “N” or “D”
position.
Vehicles with a manual trans-
mission: When the shift lever
is in a position other than “R”
and the vehicle starts moving.
When vehicle speed is reduced to approximately 6
mph (10 km/h) or less.
Check the positions and dis-
tance between the vehicle
width line and a target object
such as the obstacle or curb
WA R N I N G
●When a sensor indicator on the intuitive parking assist display illumi-
nates in red or a buzzer sounds continuously, be sure to check the area
around the vehicle immediately and do not proceed any further until
safety has been ensured, otherwise an unexpected accident may occur.
●As the intuitive parking assist display is displayed over the camera view,
it may be difficult to see the intuitive parking assist display depending on
the color and brightness of the surrounding area.

●Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (number of passengers,
amount of luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to check visually around the vehicle before
proceeding.
●If the steering wheel is straight and the vehicle width guide lines and the
estimated course lines are not in alignment, have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
●Do not use the system if the display is incorrect due to an uneven (hilly)
road or a non-straight (curvy) road.
