Driving
When an obstacle is detected, the buzzer sounds.
●As the obstacle is approached, the buzzer sounds more rapidly.
When the obstacle is extremely close, the buzzer switches from
sounding intermittently (short beeps) to continuously (a long beep).
• Distance to obstacle detected by front corner sensor is approxi-
mately 35 cm (1.2 ft.) or less
• Distance to obstacle detected by front side sensor or rear side
sensor is approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) or less
• Distance to obstacle detected by front sensor is approximately
35 cm (1.2 ft.) or less
• Distance to obstacle detected by rear corner sensor is approxi-
mately 35 cm (1.2 ft.) or less
• Distance to obstacle detected by back sensor is approximately
35 cm (1.2 ft.) or less
●When an obstacle is detected by multiple sensors simultaneously,
the buzzer sounds according to the distance to the closest obsta-
cle.
●When obstacles are simultaneously detected to the front and rear

WARNING
■ When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■ Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■ Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
■ When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
● Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
● Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
● Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
● Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
● Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
■ When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not initialize the tire pressure wa rning system without first adjusting the
tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it
may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
