Toyota parking assist-sensor
Vehicles without a navigation/multimedia system:
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 a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Vehicles with a navigation/multimedia system:
Refer to the “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s man-
ual”.

4-6. Using the driving support systems
■ The Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
● Front sensors:
• The shift position is shifted to a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
(At any speed when the shift position is in R)
● Rear sensors:
The shift position is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
● 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.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A 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.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shapes, 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

■ If “Clean sonar.” is displayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In this case, clean the
sensor and the system should return to normal.
If a sensor is frozen due to low temperatures, a warning message may be dis-
played or an obstacle may not be detected. When the sensor thaws out, the
system should return to normal.
■ If “Check sonar system.” is displayed on the multi-information display
The system may not operate due to the malfunction of a sensor.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
WARNING
■ Caution when using the Toyota parking assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing 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 10 km/h (6 mph).
4
● Do not attach any accessories within the sensor range.
NOTICE
■ Notes on the Toyota parking assist-sensor
● Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
● If your vehicle is involved in an accident, it will affect the sensors and may
result in a system failure.
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.

Simple-IPA (Simple-Intelligent Parking
Assist)
Simple-IPA is a system that assists parallel parking operations.
When parking between two parked vehicles or in the space
behind one parked vehicle, the sensors installed on the sides of
the front bumper are utilized and a space which the vehicle can
be parked in is detected. Parking operations are then assisted
by automatic operation of the steering wheel.

Operating Simple-IPA
Operate Simple-IPA according to the multi-information display and the
buzzer.
The system detects parking spaces on the front passenger’s side of the
vehicle and assists with parking in a detected space.
When parking in a space on the driver’s side of the vehicle, move the turn
signal lever to indicate turning on the driver’s seat side. Leave the turn sig-
nal lever in that position until automatic steering begins.

with the vehicle driving at
30
km/h (18 mph) or less.

changes to the parking space
detection screen when the system
is operating.

mately
1 m (3 ft.) from the
parked vehicles.
Drive the vehicle as parallel to the
parked vehicles and curb as possi-
ble.
Lower vehicle speeds allow the
system to assist in parking the
vehicle more parallel to the parked
vehicles and curb, and in a more
proper position between vehicles
at the front and rear of a parking
space.
The required length for a parking
space to be detected is the total
vehicle length plus approximately 1
m (3 ft.).
Maintain a vehicle speed of
30
km/h (18 mph) or less.

Visually check that the detected
space is safe for parking.
If the vehicle moves 10 m (32 ft.) or
more after the buzzer sounds,
detection of a new parking space
will begin.
