WARNING
●Do not use the system in the following situations, as the system may be
unable to correctly assist you in reaching the target parking spot and may
lead to an unexpected accident.
• In an area that is not a parking lot
• A parking lot that is not paved and has no parking space lines, such as
a sand or gravel parking lot
• A parking lot that has a slope or undulations in the road
• A frozen, snow-covered or slippery road
• The asphalt is melting due to hot weather
• There is an obstacle between the vehicle and the target parking spot
• Using tire chains or compact spare tire (if equipped)
● Do not use tire other than that provided by the manufacturer. The system
may not operate properly. When replacing tires, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The system may not be able position the vehicle in the set location in the
following situations.
• The tires are extremely worn or the tire pressure is low
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy load
• The vehicle is tilted due to having luggage, etc. located on one side of
the vehicle
• There are road heaters installed in the parking lot to prevent the road
surface from freezing.
In any other situations when the set position and vehicle position greatly
differ, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the exit parallel
parking assist mode.
Exit parallel parking assist mode is a function used when departing from a
parallel parking spot. However, this function may not be usable if obsta-
cles or people are detected in front of the vehicle. Only use this function
when departing from a parallel parking spot. In the event that the steering
control operates, either turn the system off using the S-APGS switch or
operate the steering wheel to stop the control.
● If exit parallel parking assist mode is mistakenly used in the following situ-
ations, the vehicle may make contact with an obstacle.
The departure function is operated in a direction where an obstacle is
present, but the obstacle is not detected by the side sensors (situations
such as when the vehicle is directly beside a pole).

7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Tires
Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check
the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the
tread.
Check the spare tire (if equipped) condition and pressure if not
rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “ \b” mark,
etc., molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.

PRIUS_OM_OM47B89U_(U)■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the appearance of the tire to
check that the tire is not punctured.
If the tire is punctured: → P. 691, 705
If the tire is not punctured:
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Initial-
izing the tire pressure warning syst em will not turn off the tire pressure
warning light.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks and tire inflat ion pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the ti re inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (afte r a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
Vehicles with compact spare tire: Th e compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the
tire pressure warning light will not tu rn off even though the flat tire has
been replaced with the spare tire. Repl ace the spare tire with the repaired
tire and adjust the tire inflation pr essure. The tire pressure warning light
will go off after a few minutes.
Vehicles with full-size spare tire: The spare tire is also equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter. The tire pressure warning light
will turn on if the tire inflat ion pressure of the spare ti re is low. If a tire goes
flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire
has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the
repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes.
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function
properly
→ P. 6 2 4
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking
for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for
1 minute when the power switch is tu rned to ON mode, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.
■ Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location
or audio sound.
