■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
●Some pedestrians, such as the following, may not be detected by the Rear
Camera Detection function, preventing the function from operating properly:
• Pedestrians who are squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• Pedestrians riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing unusual clothing, such as a costume
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hidden by a cart or other object
• Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night
● In some situations, such as the following, pedestrians may not be detected
by the Rear Camera Detection function, preventing the function from operat-
ing properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or
scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes
suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground
parking lot
● In some situations, such as the following, the Rear Camera Detection func-
tion may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection
area.
• When a three dimensional object, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle, is detected
• When a moving object, such as a car or motorcycle is detected
• When backing up toward moving objects such as flags or puddles, or air- borne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow
• When there is a pattern on the road, due to the road being made of cob- blestone or gravel or having tram rails, traces of repair, white lines,
pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the surface
• When backing up on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage ditches
• When backing up toward the roadside or a bump in the road
• When an object is reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
• When there are shadows on the road
• When backing up over a bump in the road
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted, such as when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate (especially flu-
orescent type), is installed near the rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper

• If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed due to a collisionor other impact, or removal and installation
• If a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched
• When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
• If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the emergency flashers of another vehicle
■ 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 volume
of the audio system volume is high, the air conditioning system is being
used, etc.
● If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio system
screen may not operate correctly.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
● The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approac hes 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 ar e detected simultaneously, the
buzzer system responds to the nearest obstacle. If one or both
come within the above distanc es, 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.

■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Front center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Toyota parking assist monitor or pan-
oramic view monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upper
part of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.

■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 Please Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the mult i-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 wi th 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.
