• The detection range is shown in
the illustration to the right. How-
ever, the sensor will not detect
the obstacle if it is too close.
• For details regarding obstacle
detection in the side areas.
( P. 456)
• The distance at which an obsta-
cle can be detected and whether
it can be detected depends on
the shape and condition of the
obstacle.
The obstacle detection range can be changed. ( P. 7 2 4 )
QOperation conditions
The power switch is turned on.
O Front corner sensors:
• Shift position is not in P
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
O Front side sensors/rear side sensors:
• Shift position is not in P
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
• Steering wheel is turned approximately 90  or more
O Front center sensors:
• Shift position is not in P or R
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
O Rear corner sensors/rear center sensors:
Shift position is in R

Q Sensor detection information
O The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
O Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
O Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
O There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obst acle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
O Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
O It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
Q Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( P. 452, 454)
Q Obstacle detection in side areas
O Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
O Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after d riving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
O When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected e ven after it
has left the side sensor detection area.

QIf “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” 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 obstacle may not be detected. If the sens or thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
Q If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota r etailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Q Customization
Settings (e.g. buzzer volume) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 724)
Q Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting i t. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
O Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
O Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
O Sharply-angled objects
O Low objects
O Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
Q Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular ins tances where this
may occur are listed below.
O There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
O A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In espe-
cially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display m ay be displayed
abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
O On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
O When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
