WARNING
■Side sensors 
In the following situations, the Toyota parking assist-sensor may not operate 
normally and may result in an unexpected accident. Drive carefully. 
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the vehicle is driven 
for a short time and a scan of the side areas is completed. ( P. 456) 
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles such as 
other vehicles, people or animals that approach from the sides cannot be 
detected. 
● Even after the scan of the side areas is completed, obstacles may not be 
detected depending on the surrounding situation of the vehicle. 
At that time, the side sensor operation displays ( P. 451) temporary turn 
off. 
■ Notes when washing the vehicle 
● Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area. 
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning. 
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to 
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.
NOTICE
■ When using Toyota parking assist-sensor 
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a 
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● Toyota parking assist-sensor operation display flashes, and a beep 
sounds when no obstacles are detected. 
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to 
strong impact. 
● If the bumper collides with something. 
● If the display shows up and remains on without a beep. 
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor. 
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it 
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

■When removing and installing the 12-volt battery 
The system needs to be initialized. 
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight ahead for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or higher. 
■ When “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display 
and the PKSB OFF indicator flashes 
● Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove 
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures due to ice 
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the 
ice melts, the system will return to normal. 
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown 
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. 
■ When “PKSB Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the multi- 
information display, the PKSB OFF indicator flashes and the buzzer
sounds 
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system 
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may 
lead to an unexpected accident. 
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention 
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Parking
Support Brake function can provide suppor t to lessen the severity of colli- 
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation. 
● The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com- 
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Support Brake 
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi- 
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately. 
● It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intentionally 
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such 
actions.

■Parking Support Brake function while the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Brake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake function is on or
off. (P. 464)
●After the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System is temporarily stopped, and operation of
the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi-information dis-
play. (P. 468)
●When operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is stopped 3
times by operation of the Parking Support Brake function, the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System is canceled.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after
the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting you
to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System can be resumed by shifting according to
the prompt on the multi-information display and pressing the S-IPA switch
(P. 476) again.
■Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
If the system determines that the driver intends to move forward or in reverse,
assistance continues even if the driver shifted before being prompted to do so
by the system. However, because driver operation differs from the guidance
provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers may increase.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P. 726)

■Switching using the S-IPA switch 
Press the switch
This allows you to switch func- 
tions and cancel or restart assist 
modes.
While the power switch is on, the vehicle speed is approximately 
30 km/h (19 mph) or less, each time the S-IPA switch is pressed the 
function switches as follows.
The selected function is indicated on the operation display area of the 
multi-information display. ( P. 477)
*: The back-in parking assist mode can be switched to when its operating 
conditions are met ( P. 496). When the operating conditions are not met, 
it switches to off.

Assist mode will be canceled or stopped in the following cases.
■Assist control is canceled when
●The system temperature preservation function operates
●There is a system malfunction
●System determined that the parking environment is not suitable
for assist to continue
When assist control is canceled, firmly grasp the steering wheel,

■Function summary 
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until 
you reach the assist control starting position, and then the parallel 
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the 
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist 
control is also provided if necessary. 
Continue moving forward 
with the vehicle parallel to 
the curb or road, and stop so 
that the center of the target 
parking spot appears nearly 
perpendicular to the vehicle. 
Then press the S-IPA switch 
1 time to select the parallel 
parking assist mode. 
Travel straight ahead paral- 
lel with the road or curb so 
that the parking space is 
detected. 
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the 
vehicle reaches a position where assist control can be used to 
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is 
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering 
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the side of the 
road across from the parking space) is  narrow, or if there are obstacles 
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of the 
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repeated any 
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step   from the 
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.

higher, pressing the S-IPA switch will not cause the screen to 
switch to the “Parallel Parking” display.
