Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
●The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the
obstacle, the buzzer sounds continuously: Approximately 1.2 ft.
(35 cm).
●When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the
buzzer system responds to the nearest obstacle. If one or both
come within the above distances, the beep will repeat a long
tone, followed by fast beeps.
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect obstacles
that are extremely close to the
vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.

CAMRY_U (01999-06122)■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
●Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
●Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
●There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds.
●Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
●It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable 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 obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■Certification
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.

WARNING
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially
the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

WARNING
■Sensors
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
●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 obstacles may not be detected.
●The sensor is covered in any way.
●The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicin-
ity.
●The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●The sensor is drenched with water on a flooded road.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
●Towing eyelets are installed.
●The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
●The detection range is reduced due to an object such as a sign.
●In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
●The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
●If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●A backlit license plate is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
