■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unava ilable or there may be a malfunction in
the system.
●In the following situations, perform the actions specified in t he table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will be come operational.
If the message does not disapp ear, contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor is
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged
up, covered with condensation, ice,
etc.), or other foreign matterTo clean the part of the windshield in
front of the front c amera, use the
windshield wipers or the windshield
defogger of the air conditioning sys-
tem ( P.315, 323).

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-
tional.
If the message does not disapp ear, contact your Toyota dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely cold
environment
• When the front camera cannot d etect objects in front of the vehicle, such
as when driving in the dark, sno w, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight reflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera
to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such as
after the vehicle is parked in an
extremely cold environment, use the
air conditioning system to increase
the temperature around the front
camera.
The area in front o f the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the win dshield in front
of the front camera.
Close the hood, rem ove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.

Driving
■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).
●The shift lever is in a position
other than P.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-
sor” is displayed on the multi-
information display
A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. R emove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to
return the syste m 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 insp ected by your
Toyota dealer.
■If “Parking Assi st Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be con tinuously 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 det
ection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.
●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 difficu lt to hear the
sound of this sys tem 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.
WARNING
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
c los e to th e se ns or s a s do ing so
may cause a sens or to malfunc-
tion.

Driving
cle*
●Objects which are extremely close
to a radar sensor*
●Vehicles which are approaching
from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle at a traveling speed of
less than approximately 5 mph (8
km/h)
●Vehicles which are approaching
from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle at a traveling speed of
more than approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h)
*: Depending on the conditions,
detection of a vehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system
may operate even though there
is no possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing vehicles)
may operate even though there is
no possibility of a collision.
●When the parking space faces a
street and vehicles are being
driven on the street
●When a detected vehicle turns
while approaching the vehicle
●When a vehicle passes by the
side of your vehicle
●When the distance between your
vehicle and metal objects, such as
a guardrail, wall, sign, or parked
vehicle, which may reflect electri-
cal waves toward the rear of the
vehicle, is short
●When there are spinning objects
near your vehicle such as the fan
of an air conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or
sprayed toward the rear bumper,
such as from a sprinkler
■Situations in wh ich the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-
crossing vehicles) may not
operate properly
In some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the radar sensors may not
detect an object and this function
may not operate properly
●Stationary objects
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the rear bumper is covered with
ice, snow, dirt, etc.
●When it is raining heavily or water
strikes the vehicle
●When the detecti on area of a
radar sensor is obstructed by an
adjacent vehicle
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted

Multi-information display
Driving mode select switch
Operate the driving mode select
switch forward or backward to
select the desired driving mode on
the multi-information display.
1Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic
performance. Suitable for normal
driving.
2Sport mode
Controls the hybrid system to pro-
vide quick, powerful acceleration.
This mode also changes the steer-
ing feel, making it suitable for when
agile driving response is desired,
such as when driving on roads with many curves.
When Sport mode is selected,
Sport mode indicator comes on.

Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an
eco-friendly manner and improve
fuel economy through moderate
throttle characteristics and by con-
trolling the operation of the air con-
ditioning system (heating/cooling).
When Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes
on.
■When changing to a driving
mode other than normal mode
(vehicles with 7-inch display)
The background color of the multi-
information display changes accord-
ing to the select ed driving mode.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode con trols the heat-
ing/cooling operations and fan
speed of the air conditioning system
to enhance fuel efficiency. To
improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode
(  P.315, 323)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.315,
322)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of a
driving mode
●Sport mode is automatically deac-
tivated and the driving mode
returns to normal mode when the
power switch is turned to OFF.
●Normal mode and Eco drive mode
are not deactivated until another
driving mode is selected. (Even if
the power switch is turned to OFF,
normal mode and Eco drive mode
will not be automatically deacti-

3044-6. Driving tips
4-6.Driving tips
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. (P.297)
The Eco-friendly driving is pos-
sible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within
Eco area. ( P.88, 92)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic etc. Shift the
shift lever to P when parking.
When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consump-
tion. In the N, the gasoline
engine operates but electricity
cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.

Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
