Situations in which the Intellig ent Clearance Sonar function ma y operate
even if there is no possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the Intelligent Clear ance Sonar
function may operate even though there is no possibility of a c ollision.
● Vehicle surroundings
• When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parki ng lots).
• When driving on a narrow path surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on an iron bridge
• When parallel parking
• When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
• When driving on a metal cover (grating), such as those used fo r drainage
ditches
• When driving on a steep slope
• If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a
flooded road
● Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system
will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sands torm
● Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices
which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle

NOTICE
■To prevent the system from malfunctioning
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, the syst em may not
operate properly due to the sensor being misaligned. Have the v ehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the
sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction .
● When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■ To prevent a radar sensor from malfunctioning
● If the area around a radar sensor is subjected to an impact, th e system
may not operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Observe the radar sensor handling precautions. ( P. 313)
■ To prevent unnecessary operation of the Intelligent Clearance S onar
system
In the following situations, disable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
as the system may operate even though there is no possibility o f a collision.
● When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller
● When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel
● If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other th an specified
are installed
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
● When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
● When using an automatic car wash

Situations in which the system m ay operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake
function may operate even though there is no possibility of a c ollision.
● When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from a
sprinkler
●
When the parking space faces a street
and vehicles are being driven on the
street
● When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle
● When a vehicle passes by the side of
your vehicle
● When the distance between your vehicle
and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear
of the vehicle, is short

NOTICE
■Conditions in which the wireless charger may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the wireless charger may not opera te correctly:
● When a portable device is fully charged
● When there is a foreign object between the charging area and po rtable
device
● When a portable device becomes hot while charging
● When a portable device is placed on the wireless area with its charging
surface facing up
● When a portable device is not centered on the charging area
● When the vehicle is near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station,
radio station, large display, airport or other facility that ge nerates strong
radio waves or electrical noise
● When the portable device is in contact with, or is covered by a ny of the fol-
lowing metallic objects:
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Metal hand warmers
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When wireless keys (that emit radio waves) other than those of your vehi-
cle are being used nearby.
If in situations other than above the wireless charger does not operate prop-
erly or the operation indicator light is blinking, the wireless charger may be
malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota dealer.
■ To prevent failure or damage to data
● Do not bring magnetic cards, such as a credit card, or magnetic recording
media, close to the wireless charger while charging. Otherwise, data may
be erased due to the influence of magnetism.
Additionally, do not bring precision instruments such as wrist watches,
close to the wireless charger, as such objects may malfunction.
● Do not leave portable devices in the cabin. The temperature ins ide the
cabin may become high when parked in the sun, and cause damage to the
device.
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not use the wireless charger for a long period of time with the engine
stopped.

CAMRY_U●
Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas statio
n, radio
station, large display, airport or other facilit y that generates strong
radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication device
Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: If ti re position
information is not correctly displayed due to the radio wave co nditions,
the display may be corrected by changing the location of the ve hicle as
the radio wave conditions may change.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the time taken for the warning to start or
turn off may be longer.
●When the inflation pressure of a tire drops rapidly, for exampl e when a
tire has burst, the warning may not operate.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to perform the initialization procedure after adjusti ng the tire
inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before performing the initia lization
procedure or adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
●If the engine switch is turned t o the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a
smart key system) or off (vehicles with a smart key system) dur ing ini-
tialization, it is not necessary to restart the initialization procedure from
the beginning as it will begin aut omatically when the engine switch is
turned back to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system)
or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
●If initialization has accidentally been started when it is not necessary,
adjust the tire inflation pressu re to the specified level when the tires are
cold and then perform the ini tialization procedure again.
●Vehicles with a tire inflation p ressure display function: While the position
of each tire is being determined and the inflation pressures are not being
displayed on the multi-information display, if the inflation pr essure of a
tire drops, the tire pressure warning light will come on.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressu re warning system will change in accor-
dance with the conditions under which it was initialized. For t his reason,
the system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does no t reach a
low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressur e that was
adjusted to when the sys tem was initialized.

Rear turn signal lights (bulb type) and rear side marker lights
(bulb type)
Open the trunk and apply
protective tape to the vehicle
body around the light unit.
Use masking tape, etc. Do not
use duct tape, as it may leave
residue or damage the paint
when removed.
Remove the cover.Insert a flathead screw-
driver between the cover
and the light unit and pry
up the cover in several
positions as shown in the
illustration to disengage
the claws (indicated by a
dotted line).
Pull the cover toward the
rear of the vehicle to dis-
engage the claws (indi-
cated by a dotted line) and
remove the cover.
To prevent scratching the vehi-
cle, wrap the tip of the flathead
screwdriver with a cloth, etc.
Remove the 2 bolts.
