Intuitive parking assist
■Types of sensors
■Intuitive parking assist switch
Turns the intuitive parking
assist on/off
When on, the indicator light
comes on to inform the driver
that the system is operational.
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and buzzer. Always check the su rrounding area when using this
system.

■Sensor operation and distance to an obstacle
The system operates when the vehicle approaches an obstacle, as
shown by the following table.
When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer sys-
tem responds to the nearest zone.

2064-5. Using the driving support systems
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The shift lever is not in P or R and vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph
(10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The shift lever is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front corner and rear bumpers.
● Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• 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 vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be closer
than they are.

●The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
● The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection
distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the
sensor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the warning
beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected for colli- sion when approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow noise of air conditioning system.
■ If the display flashes and a message is displayed
P. 472, 474
■ Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
CAUTION
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially
the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

■The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function is operational when
● The BSM main switch is set to on.
● The shift lever is in R.
● Vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
● Approaching vehicle speed is between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and
18 mph (28 km/h).
■ Conditions under which the Rear Cr oss Traffic Alert function will not
detect a vehicle
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function is not designed to detect the following
types of vehicles and/or objects.
● Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.
*
●Vehicles approaching from directly behind
● Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationary objects
*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehicle
*
●Vehicles backing up in the parking space next to your vehicle*
*
: Depending on conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
■ Conditions under which the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function may not
function correctly
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function may not detect vehicles correctly in the
following conditions.
● When ice or mud, etc., is attached to the rear bumper
● During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.
● When multiple vehicles approach continuously
● Shallow angle parking
● When a vehicle is approaching at high speed
● When parking on a steep incline, such as hills, a dip in the road, etc.
● Directly after the BSM main switch is set to on
● Directly after the engine is started with the BSM main switch on
● When towing a trailer
● Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
because of obstacles

4748-2. Steps to take in an emergency
*: Refer to the separate “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s ManualSupplement” for the maintenance interval applicable to your vehicle.
(If equipped)
Indicates that intuitive parking assist is dirty
or covered with ice
 Clean the sensor.

Indicates that the Blind Spot Monitor sensors
or the surrounding area on the bumper is
dirty or covered with ice
A buzzer also sounds.
 Clean the sensor and its surrounding area
on the bumper.
Indicates remaining fuel is approximately
4.0 gal. (15 L, 3.3 Imp.gal.) or less A buzzer also sounds.
 Refuel the vehicle.
(U.S.A.)
Indicates that all maintenance according to
the driven distance on the maintenance
schedule
* should be performed soon.
Comes on approximately 4500 miles
(7200 km) after the maintenance data has
been reset.
 If necessary, perform maintenance.
(U.S.A.)
Indicates that all maintenance is required to
correspond to the driven distance on the
maintenance schedule
*.
Comes on approximately 5000 miles
(8000 km) after the maintenance data has
been reset.
(The indicator will not work properly unless
the maintenance data has been reset.)
 Perform the necessary maintenance.
Please reset the maintenance data after the
maintenance is performed. ( P. 398)
