Owners Manual_USA_M0C043_en
■The system can be operated
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●A shift position other than P is
selected.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, d irt, etc. Remove
the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system
to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor
at low temperatures, a warning
message may be displayed or the
sensor may not be able to detect an
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed
even if the sensor is clean, there
may be a sensor malfunction. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be continuously flowing
over the sensor surface, such as in
a heavy rain. When the system
determines that it is normal, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’ 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 possibility that the object
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)
before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be diffic ult to hear the
buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be diffi cult to hear the
sound of this sys tem due to the
buzzers of other systems.
■Objects which the system may
not be properly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attent ion to the follow-
ing objects:
WARNING
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sens or to malfunc-
tion.

5407-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Owners Manual_USA_M0C043_en
■Starting the hybrid system
when the battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started
by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.581)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-volt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 1 2-volt battery
The electricity stor ed in the 12-volt
battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due
to natural discharge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges aut omatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, i t may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote c
ontrol or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m may not start
on the first attemp t after reinstall-
ing the 12-volt battery. In that
case, start the hybrid system in
the same manner as when the
electronic key does not operate
properly ( P.536). This is not a
malfunction, as the hybrid system
will start normally on the second
attempt.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.581)
■When replacing t he 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2),
20 hours rate ca pacity (20HR) is
equivalent (55Ah) or greater, and
performance rating (CCA) is
equivalent (345A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat- tery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time p eriod where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge
and hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a ventilation type calcium bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt battery without a
handle is used, removal is more
