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.

2. TOYOTA PARKING ASSIST MONITOR
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.
A margin of error

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.
