THE CAMERA
The camera for the parking assist mon-
itor is located as shown in the illustra-
tion.
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.
NOTICE
● The parking assist monitor 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 con- struction, 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 rapidly, 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 malfunc-
tion. If this happens, 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 par-
allel 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
following situations, there is a margin of
error between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance /course on
the road.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE SCREEN AND THE
ACTUAL ROADWHEN THE GROUND BEHIND
THE VEHICLE SLOPES UP
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they ac-
tually 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 VEHICLE SLOPES DOWN
SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear to
be farther from the vehicle than the ac-
tual distance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than they actu-
ally are. In the same way, there will be
a margin of error between the guide-
lines 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 dis-
tribution of the load, there is a margin
of error between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance/course
on the road.
WHEN APPROACHING
THREE-DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS
The estimated course lines target flat
surfaced objects (such as the road). It
is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) using the estimated
course lines and distance guide lines.
When approaching a three-dimension-
al object that extends outward (such as
the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the
following.

Estimated course lines
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.DISTANCE GUIDE LINES
Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. On the
screen, it appears that a truck is park-
ing at point B. However, in reality if you
back up to point A, you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that A is clos-
est and C is farthest away. However, in
reality, the distance to A and C is the
same, and B is farther than A and C.

2. PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR
1. PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR*
Panoramic view monitor assists the
driver in viewing the surroundings,
when operating at low speeds, by com-
bining the front, side and rear cameras
and displaying a complete vehicle
overhead image on the screen.
When you press the camera switch or
shift the shift lever to the “R” position
while the engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode, the pan-
oramic view monitor operates.
The monitor displays various views of
the position and surroundings of the
vehicle.
INFORMATION
●The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may dif-
fer from the image that is actually dis-
played on the screen.
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The panoramic view monitor is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist the
driver when checking around the vehi-
cle. When using, be sure to visually
check all around the vehicle both di-
rectly and using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may hit
another vehicle or possibly cause an
accident.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the panoramic view
monitor.
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 dif-
ferent 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 surround-
ings with your own eyes and the vehi-
cle’s mirrors.
*: If equipped

2. PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR
WA R N I N G
●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.
● Do not use the panoramic view monitor
system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the trunk is not closed com- pletely
• On roads that are not flat or straight,
such as curves or slopes
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are
installed
● In low temperatures, the screen may
darken or the image may become faint.
The image could distort when the vehi-
cle is moving, 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 mir-
rors before proceeding.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position
of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change.
● The camera uses a special lens. The
distances between objects and pedestri-
ans that appear in the image displayed
on the screen will differ from the actual
distances. ( P.184)
NOTICE
● In panoramic view/moving view/see-
through view, the system combines
images taken from the front, back, left
and right side cameras into a single
image. There are limits to the range and
content that can be displayed. Familiar-
ize yourself with the characteristics of
the panoramic view monitor system
before using it.
● Image clarity may decline at the four cor-
ners of the panoramic view/moving view/
see-through view. However, this is not a
malfunction, as these are the regions
along the border of each camera image
where the images are combined.
● Depending on lighting conditions near
each of the cameras, bright and dark
patches may appear on the panoramic
view/moving view/see-through view.
● The panoramic view/moving view/see-
through view display does not extend
higher than the installation position and
image capture range of each camera.
● There are blind spots around the vehi-
cle. Accordingly, there are regions not
displayed in panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view.
● Three-dimensional objects displayed in
wide front view or rear view may not be
displayed in panoramic view/moving
view/see-through view.
● People and other three-dimensional
obstacles may appear differently when
displayed on the panoramic view moni-
tor. (These differences include, among
others, cases in which displayed objects
appear to have fallen over, disappear
near image processing areas, appear
from image processing areas, or when
the actual distance to an object differs
from the displayed position.)
