■Buzzer operation and distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
● The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the
object, the buzzer sounds continuo usly: Approximately 1.2 ft. (35
cm).
● When 2 or more objects are detec ted simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest object. If one or both come with in
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 objects that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the det ection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Objects may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor .
● There will be a short delay between object detection and displa y. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come w ithin the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the buzze r 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 Sens or” 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.
■ Certification

WARNING
■Sensors
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an object. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors w ill resolve
this problem.)
● The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this probl em.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen ma y show an
abnormal display, or objects 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, moto rcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises pro ducing ultra-
sonic waves.
● There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors i n 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 objects draw too close to the sensor.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is i nstalled.
● 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.

WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an ac cident.
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak-
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearanc e Sonar
system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions.
However, it may not operate in some situations.
● The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the ve hicle, it is
necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake contr ol will be
canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
■ To ensure the Intelligent Clearan ce Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 320). Failure
to do so may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may ca use an
accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong imp act.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors ( P. 298).
Failure to do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate proper ly, and may
cause an accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a stro ng impact.
● Do not damage the radar sensors, and always keep the radar sens ors and
their surrounding area on the bumper clean.
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli nation of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause
the system to not operate or operate unnecessarily.

3404-6. Driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/coo ling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 338)
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the needle of H ybrid
System Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 104)
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. When using
the N, there is no positive effe ct on fuel consumption. In the N, the
gasoline engine operates but e lectricity cannot be generated. A lso,
when using the air conditioning s ystem, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
● Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelerat ion and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) witho ut
having to use gaso line engine power.
● Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (tracti on battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological dri ving, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

3545-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperatur e setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed.
■ Operation of the air condit ioning system in S-FLOW mode
If the front passenger’s door or a rear door is opened then clo sed, the air con-
ditioning system determines that a passenger is in the vehicle. In this case,
priority for the airflow will be changed from the driver’s seat only to the front
seats only or all seats, respectively. (Depending on the set temperature or
ambient temperature, priority for the airflow may not be given to the driver’s
seat only.)
If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicle, the system will retain the judge-
ment for a certain amount of time after the power switch is tur ned off.
■ Operation of automatic S-FLOW mode
When the system is operating in automatic S-FLOW mode, if a rea r door is
opened and then closed, S-FLOW mode will be disabled. To enable S-FLOW
mode, press
.
■ Changing from manual S-FLOW mode to automatic S-FLOW mode
Press
to disable S-FLOW mode.
Turn the power switch off.
After 60 minutes have elapsed, change the power switch to ON mo de.
■ Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor (P. 356) detects fog on
the windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prev ent fog.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air i ntake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.1
