PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM

Wide front view
INFORMATION
● As the images obtained from four cam-
eras are processed and displayed on
the standard of a flat road surface; the
panoramic view/moving view/see-
through view may be displayed as fol-
lows.
• Objects may look collapsed; thinner or
bigger than usual.
• An object with a higher position than the road surface may look farther away
than it actually is or may not appear at
all.
• Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of the
image.
● Variations in the brightness of the image
may appear for every camera.
● The displayed image may be shifted by
inclination of the vehicle body, change in
vehicle height, etc., depending on the
number of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, fuel quantity, etc.
● If the front doors or trunk are not com-
pletely closed; neither the image nor the
guide lines are displayed.
● The position relations of the vehicle icon
and the road surface or obstacle may
differ from the actual positions.
● The black areas of the vicinity of the
vehicle icon are areas that are not cap-
tured by the camera.
● Images like the following are combined,
thus some areas may be difficult to view.
WA R N I N G
●When a sensor indicator on the intuitive
parking assist display illuminates in red
or a buzzer sounds continuously, be
sure to check the area around the vehi-
cle immediately and do not proceed any
further until safety has been ensured,
otherwise an unexpected accident may
occur.

INFORMATION
●Black masking is done for distance
detection differences to the front of the
vehicle.
● The area covered by the camera is lim-
ited. Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be seen on the screen.
● The area displayed on the screen may
vary depending on vehicle orientation or
road conditions.
● The camera uses a special lens. The
distance in the image displayed on the
screen will differ from the actual dis-
tance.

THE CAMERA
The cameras for the panoramic view
monitor are located as shown in the il-
lustration.
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 panoramic view monitor may not
operate properly in the following cases.
• If the camera 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 an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a glass coating
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, 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
impacts 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.

DISTORTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS ON THE
SCREEN
When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) nearby
in positions higher than the surface of the road, take extra ca re when using the fol-
lowing.
PANORAMIC VIEW DISPLAY (INCL UDING MAGNIFIED DISPLAY)
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. For exam-
ple, even though it appears that there is space between the bum pers of the two ve-
hicles in the illustration below and they are not likely to col lide, in reality, a collision
is about to occur.
WA R N I N G
● When a sensor indicator on the intuitive parking assist display illuminates in red or a
buzzer sounds continuously, be sure to check the area around th e vehicle immediately
and do not proceed any further until safety has been ensured, o therwise an unexpected
accident may occur.

Estimated course line
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.

● When a sensor indicator on the intuitive
parking assist display illuminates in red
or a buzzer sounds continuously, be
sure to check the area around the vehi-
cle immediately and do not proceed any
further until safety has been ensured,
otherwise an unexpected accident may
occur.
ESTIMATED COURSE LINES
Since the estimated course line is dis-
played for a flat road surface, it can not
depict the position of three-dimension-
al objects (such as vehicle bumpers,
etc.) that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. Even if the
bumpers of the vehicle is on the out-
side of the estimated course line in the
image, in reality, the vehicles are on a
collision course.

Three-dimensional objects (such as
the overhang of a wall or loading plat-
form of a truck) in high positions may
not be projected on the screen. Check
the safety of the surroundings directly.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.

MAGNIFYING FUNCTION
When the panoramic view is magni-
fied, walls and lines on the road on the
magnified panoramic view display may
look more distorted than those on the
normal panoramic view display.
INFORMATION
● When the panoramic view is magnified,
guide lines will not be displayed.

If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the
solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
IF YOU NOTICE ANY SYMPTOMS

the picture quality of the pan-
oramic view monitor system
is the same as the procedure
for adjusting the screen.
