will not switch.)
Vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers
With low speed windshield wiper
operation selected, wiper operation
will be switched from low speed to
intermittent wiper operation when
the vehicle is stationary. (However,
when the sensor s ensitivity is
adjusted to the highest level, the
mode will not switch.)
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the
“AUTO” position while the engine
switch is in ON, the wipers will
operate once to show that “AUTO”
mode is activated.
●If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted
to higher, the wip er may operate
once to indicate the change of
sensitivity.
●If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, the auto-
matic operation m ay not occur. In
this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than “AUTO”.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the wash er nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield was her fluid reser-
voir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipe rs in “AUTO”
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode.
Take care that your fingers or
anything else does not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the
washer fluid unt il the windshield
becomes warm. The fluid may
freeze on the windshield and
cause low visibility. This may lead
to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.

empty
Do not operate the switch continu-
ally as the washer fluid pump may
overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes
blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota
dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or
other object. The nozzle will be
damaged.
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the wipers on longer
than necessary w hen the engine
is off.

2364-5. Using the driving support systems
●Pre-collision braking
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based
on their size, profile, motion, etc.
However, an object may not be
detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion,
posture, and angle of the detected
object, preventing the system from
operating properly. ( P.237)
The illustration sh ows an image of
detectable objects.
■Cancelation of t he pre-collision
braking
If either of the fo llowing occur while
the pre-collision braking function is
operating, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned
sharply or abruptly.
■Conditions under which the
system may operate even if
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine
that there is a possibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while over-
taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object in an adjacent lane or on
the roadside, such as when
changing the course of travel or
driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable
objects, guardrails, utility poles,
trees, or walls
• When there is a d etectable object
or other object by the roadside at

■If “Parking Assist Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
●Water may be continuously flow-
ing over the sensor surface, such
as in a heavy rain. When the sys-
tem determines that it is normal,
the system will re turn to normal.
●Initialization may not have been
performed after a battery terminal
was disconnected and recon-
nected. Initialize the system.
(  P.277)
If this message continues to be
displayed even after initialization,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
■If a battery terminal has been
disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the
vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds
or more at a speed of approximately
22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’s 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 possibilit y that the object
will come within 11. 9 in. (30 cm)
before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the
sound of this system due to the buzzers of other systems.
■Conditions under which the
function may not function cor-
rectly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Part icular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen-
sor. (Cleaning th e sensors will
resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is froz en. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnor-
mally, or objects, such as a wall,
may not be detected.
●A sensor is cove red in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy
due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, or other lou d noises produc-
ing ultrasonic waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped
with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount
of water, such as when driving on
a flooded road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall
or curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
■Objects which may not be prop-
erly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
