WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
There is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not ov erly rely on this 
system. The driver is always 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’ surroundings and 
driving safely.
■To ensure the system can 
operate properly
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in the 
vehicle being unable to be driven 
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●Do not damage the sensors, 
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install 
an electronic component, such 
as a backlit licen se plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog 
lights, fender po le or wireless 
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding 
area of the sensor to a strong 
impact. If subjected to an 
impact, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer. If the front or rear 
bumper needs to be 
emoved/installed or replaced, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or 
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate 
cover.
●Keep your tires properly 
inflated.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable 
the function as it may operate 
even though there is no possibility 
of a collision.
●Failing to observe the warnings 
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.) 
is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of 
water or steam to the sensor 
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor 
malfunctioning.

2565-5. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M62084_en
■The system can be operated 
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is 
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than 
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is 
selected.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-
sor” is displayed on the multi-
information display
A sensor may be covered with water 
drops, ice, snow, d irt, etc. Remove 
the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., 
from the sensor to return the system 
to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor 
at low temperatures, a warning 
message may be displayed or the 
sensor may not be able to detect an 
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return  to normal.
If a warning message is displayed 
even if the sensor is clean, there 
may be a sensor malfunction. Have 
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable” 
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be continuously flowing 
over the sensor surface, such as in 
a heavy rain. When the system 
determines that it is normal, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are 
limited to the areas around the 
vehicle’ front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur 
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the  object and other factors, the 
detection distance may shorten, or 
detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if 
static objects draw too close to the 
sensor.
• There will be a short delay 
between static object detection 
and display (warning buzzer 
sounds). Even at low speeds, 
there is a possibility that the object 
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm) 
before the display is shown and 
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be diffic ult to hear the 
buzzer due to the volume of the 
audio system or air flow noise of 
the air conditioning system.
• It may be diffi cult to hear the 
sound of this sys tem due to the 
buzzers of other systems.
■Objects which the system may 
not be properly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it. 
Pay particular attent ion to the follow-
ing objects:
WARNING
●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 sens or to malfunc-
tion.

●When driving toward a banner, 
flag, low-hanging branch or boom 
barrier (such as those used at rail-
road crossings, toll gates and 
parking lots)
●When there is a rut or hole in the 
surface of the road
●When driving on a metal cover 
(grating), such as those used for 
drainage ditches
●When driving up  or down a steep 
slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount 
of water, such as when driving on 
a flooded road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or 
ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the 
sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated  with a sheet of 
spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather 
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●When vehicle horns, vehicle 
detectors, motorcycle engines, air 
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of other vehicles or 
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
●If the front of the vehicle is raised 
or lowered due to the carried load
●If the orientation of a sensor has 
been changed due to  a collision or 
other impact
●The vehicle is approaching a tall 
or curved curb
●Driving close to columns (H-
shaped steel beams, etc.) in multi-
story parking garages, construc-
tion sites, etc.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a 
stable manner, such as when the 
vehicle has been in an accident or 
is malfunctioning

The RCTA function  is not designed 
to detect the follo wing types of vehi-
cles and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly 
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking 
space next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot 
detect due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked 
vehicles and similar stationary 
objects

■Re-enabling the Parking Sup-
port Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support 
Brake when it has been disabled 
due to operation of the Parking Sup-
port Brake, either enable the system 
again ( P.274), or turn the power 
switch off and then back to ON.
Additionally, if any of the following 
conditions are me t, the system will 
be re-enabled automatically and the 
PKSB OFF indicato r will turn off:
●The P shift position is selected
●The object is no longer detected in 
the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle
●The traveling direction of the vehi-
cle changes*
*
: Except when the Parking Support  Brake function (rear pedestrians) 
operated.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information 
display and the PKSB OFF indi-
cator is on
If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parki ng Support Brake, 
the Parking Suppor t Brake will be 
disabled and the PKSB OFF indica-
tor will illuminate.
●A sensor may be covered with 
water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. 
Remove the water drops, ice, 
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to 
return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sen-
sor at low temperatures, a warn-
ing message may be displayed or 
the sensor may n ot be able to 
detect an object. Once the ice 
melts, the system will return to 
normal.
●If this message is displayed only 
when the R shift position is  selected, the rear camera lens 
may be dirty. Clean the camera 
lens. If this message is displayed 
when the shift position is any posi-
tion other than R,
 a sensor on the 
front or rear bumper may be dirty. 
Clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.
●If this message continues to be 
displayed even after cleaning the 
sensor, or is displayed even 
though the sensor is clean, have 
the vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
■If a 12-volt  battery terminal has 
been disconnected and recon-
nected
The system needs to be initialized. 
To initialize the system, drive the

function (static 
objects)
*
If the sensors detect a static 
object, such as a wall, in the 
traveling direction of the 
vehicle and the system 
determines that a collision 
may occur due to the vehi-
cle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental 
accelerator pedal operation, 
the vehicle moving the 
unintended direction due to 
the wrong shift position 
being selected, or while 
parking or traveling at low 
speeds, the system will 
operate to lessen the impact 
with the detected static 
object and reduce the 
resulting damage.
