■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information disp lay
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in
the system.
● In the following situations, perform the actions specified in t he table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationAction
When the area around a camera is
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged
up, covered with condensation, ice,
etc.), or other foreign matterUsing the wiper and A/C function,
remove the dirt and other attached
matter. ( P. 383, 389, 397)
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on
its type, the sunlight reflected from
the surface of the sunshade may
cause the temperature of the front
camera to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera. Close the hood, remove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Radar
In Self Calibration Unavailable See
Owner’s Manual” is displayedCheck whether there is attached
materials on the radar sensor and
radar sensor cover, and if there is,
remove it.

The buzzer volume can be changed on the multi-information display
(  P. 120) when the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● Intuitive parking assist function is on.
● The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The shift lever is in other than P.
■ 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 case s, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a mal function dis-
play may appear or an object may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-infor mation dis-
play
Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will
return to normal.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers.
● The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the de tection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static objects draw too close to the sen-
sor.
• There will be a short delay between static object detection an d display
(warning buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds, there is a possibi lity that
the object will come within 1.0 ft. (30 cm) before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio sys-
tem or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of
other systems.
Changing the buzzer sounds volume

Situations in which the syst em may operate unexpectedly
● Even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area, som e objects,
such as the following, may be detected, possibly causing the re ar camera
detection function to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence , or parked

• If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as th e emergency
flashers of another vehicle
• When a tire chains is used
● Situations in which the rear camera detection function may be difficult to
notice
• If buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy, the vol-
ume of the audio system volume is high, the air conditioning sy stem is
being used, etc.
• If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio system
