Rear camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud, etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
In this case, flush it with a large
quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.
The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines
Using the cameraNOTICE
●The panoramic view monitor
may not operate
properly in the
following cases.
• If the camera is hit, the position and mounting angle of the cam-
era may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the came ra or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impacts as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
Difference between the
screen and the actual road

3424-5. Using the driving support systems
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
 The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this , objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guidelines
and the actual distance/course
on the road. The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be closer than they
actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guidelines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the
load, there is a margin of error
between the guide lines on the
screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.A margin of error
When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road,
take extra care when using the following.
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dime nsion
objects (such as vehicle bumpers , etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. For example, even though it appea rs
that there is space between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the
illustration below and they are not likely to collide, in reali ty, a colli-
sion is about to occur.

3444-5. Using the driving support systems
The estimated course lines target flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicles ) using the estimated course lines
and distance guide lines. When app roaching a three-dimensional
object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), b e care-
ful of the following.
Since the estimated course line
is displayed for a flat road sur-
face, it cannot depict the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects
(such as vehicle bumpers, etc.)
that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if
the bumpers of the vehicle is on
the outside of the estimated
course line in the image, in real-
ity, the vehicles are on a colli-
sion course.
WARNING
●When a sensor indicator on the intuitive parking assist display
illumi-
nates in red or a buzzer sounds continuously, be sure to check the area
around the vehicle immediately a nd do not proceed any further until
safety has been ensured, otherwise an unexpected accident may o ccur.

Three-dimensional objects
(such as the overhang of a wall
or loading platform of a truck) in
high positions may not be pro-
jected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings
directly. Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown below, the
truck appears to be outside of
the estimated course lines and
the vehicle does not look as if it
hits the truck. However, the rear
body of the truck may actually
cross over the estimated course
lines. In reality if you back up as
guided by the estimated course
lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.A

Driving
*: If equipped
■Stopping the engine
While driving with the D shift
position selected, depress the
brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle. The engine will stop auto-
matically.
When the engine stops, the Stop &
Start indicator will illuminate.
■Restarting the engine
Release the brake pedal. The
engine will start automatically.
When the engine starts, the Stop &
Start indicator will turn off.
■When the brake hold sys-
tem is operating
 When the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system, if
the brake pedal is released
the engine will remain
stopped.
 If the accelerator pedal is
depressed while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start
system, the engine will
restart.
 While the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system, if
the engine is restarted, the
brake hold system will con-
tinue to apply the brakes,
unless the operation condi-
tions of the brake hold system
are no longer met. ( P.208)
■When the dynamic radar
cruise control with full-
speed range is operating
 When the vehicle is stopped
by the dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range,
the engine will stop automati-
cally even though the brake
pedal is not depressed.
 When the preceding vehicle
starts off, the engine will
restart automatically.
 If the engine is restarted by
the Stop & Start system while
the vehicle is stopped by the
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range, the
vehicle will remain stopped.
Stop & Start system*
The Stop & Start system
stops and starts the engine
according to brake pedal or
shift lever operation when
the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to
improve fuel economy and
reduce noise pollution
caused by the engine idling.
Stop & Start system oper-
ation

3504-5. Using the driving support systems
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to disable the Stop &
Start system.
The Stop & Start cancel indica-
tor will illuminate.
Pressing the switch again will
enable the Stop & Start system and
the Stop & Start cancel indicator
will turn off.
■Automatic enabling of the Stop
& Start system
If the Stop & Start system is dis-
abled using the Sto p & Start cancel
switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is
turned off and then the engine is
started.
When the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system when
the vehicle is on an incline,
when the brake pedal is
released, brake force is tempo-
rarily maintained to prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards
before the engine is restarted
and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.

This function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
 Sound may be generated
from the brake system, but
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may
change and vibration may
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed
when the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the engine
will not be able to be restarted by
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the
engine using the normal engine
starting procedure. ( P.195, 196)
●When the engine is being
restarted by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power ou tlets may be
temporarily unusable, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Installation and removal of electri-
cal components and wireless
devices may affect the Stop &
Start system. Contact your Toyota
dealer for details.
●When stopping the vehicle for a
longer period of time, turn the
engine switch to OFF to stop the
engine completely.
●When the engine is restarted by
the Stop & Start system, the steer-
ing wheel may temporarily feel
heavy.
■Operating conditions
●The Stop & Start system is opera-
tional when all of the following
conditions are met:
