Situations in which the system 

may not operate properly

●

Some pedestrians, such as the 

following, may not be detected by 

the rear camera detection func-

tion, preventing the function from 

operating properly:

• Pedestrians who are bending for-

ward or squatting

• Pedestrians who are lying down

• Pedestrians who are running

• Pedestrians who suddenly enter 

the detection area

• People riding a bicycle, skate-

board, or other light vehicle

• Pedestrians wearing oversized 

clothing such as a rain coat, long 

skirt, etc., making their silhouette 

obscure

• Pedestrians whose body is par-

tially hidden by an object, such as 

a cart or umbrella

• Pedestrians which are obscured 

by darkness, such as at night

●

In some situations, such as the 

following, pedestrians may not be 

detected by the rear camera 

detection function, preventing the 

function from operating properly:

• When backing up in inclement 

weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)

• When the rear camera is 

obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are 

attached) or scratched

• When a very bright light, such as 

the sun, or the headlights of 

another vehicle, shines directly 

into the rear camera

• When backing up in a place where 

the surrounding brightness 

changes suddenly, such as at the 

entrance or exit of a garage or 

underground parking lot

• When backing up in a dim envi-

ronment such as during dusk or in 

an underground parking lot

• When the camera position and 

direction are deviated

• When a towing hook is attached

• When water droplets are flowing 

on the camera lens

• When the vehicle height is 

extremely changed (nose up, 

nose down).

• When tire chains or an emergency 

tire puncture repair kit is used

■

Situations in which the system 

may operate unexpectedly

●

Even though there are no pedes-

trians in the detection area, some 

objects, such as the following, 

may be detected, possibly caus-

ing the rear camera detection 

function to operate.

• Three dimensional objects, such 

as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or 

parked vehicle

• Moving objects, such as a car or 

272

motorcycle

• Objects moving toward your vehi-

cle when backing up, such as 

flags or puddles (or airborne mat-

ter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or 

snow)

• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram 

rails, road repairs, white lines, 

pedestrian crossings or fallen 

leaves on the road

• Metal covers (gratings), such as 

those used for drainage ditches

• Objects reflected in a puddle or on 

a wet road surface

• Shadows on the road

●

In some situations, such as the 

following, the rear camera detec-

tion function may operate even 

though there are no pedestrians in 

the detection area.

• When backing up toward the road-

side or a bump on the road

• When backing up toward an 

incline/decline

• If the rear of the vehicle is raised 

or lowered due to the carried load

• If a bumper protector, such as an 

additional trim strip, is installed to 

the rear bumper

• If the orientation of the rear cam-

era has been changed

• If a towing eyelet is installed to the 

rear of the vehicle

• When water is flowing over the 

rear camera lens

• When the rear camera is 

obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are 

attached) or scratched

• If there is a flashing light in the 

detection area, such as the emer-

gency flashers of another vehicle

• When a tire chains or an emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit is 

used

●

Situations in which the rear cam-

era detection function may be diffi-

cult to notice

• The buzzer may be difficult to hear 

if the surrounding area is noisy, 

the volume of the audio system 

volume is high, the air condition-

ing system is being used, etc.

• If the temperature in the cabin is 

extremely high or low, the audio 

system screen may not operate 

correctly.

*

The Parking Support Brake 
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low 
speed or backing up, such 
as when parking. When the 
system determines that the 
probability of a collision 
with a detected object or 
pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the 
driver to take evasive 
action. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of 
a collision with a detected 
object or pedestrian is 
extremely high, the brakes 
are automatically applied to 
help avoid the collision or 
help reduce the impact of 
the collision.

Brake) system

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of 

the system

Do not overly rely on the system, 

as doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.
Always drive while checking the 

safety of the surroundings of the 

vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and 

road conditions, weather, etc., the 

system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sen-

sors and radars are limited. 

Always drive while checking the 

safety of the surroundings of the 

vehicle.

●

The driver is solely responsible 

for safe driving. Always drive 

carefully, taking care to observe 

your surroundings. The Parking 

Support Brake system is 

designed to provide support to 

lessen the severity of collisions. 

However, it may not operate in 

some situations.

●

The Parking Support Brake sys-

tem is not designed to stop the 

vehicle completely. Additionally, 

even if the system has stopped 

the vehicle, it is necessary to 

depress the brake pedal imme-

diately as brake control will be 

canceled after approximately 2 

seconds.

●

It is extremely dangerous to 

check the system operations by 

intentionally driving the vehicle 

into the direction of a wall, etc. 

Never attempt such actions.

WARNING

■

When using the Advanced 

Park

●

Do not overly rely on the 

Advanced Park. As with a nor-

mal vehicle, take care to 

observe your surroundings 

while the vehicle is moving.

●

Always pay attention to the 

vehicle’s surroundings while 

operating.

●

The Advanced Park supports 

the driver when parking and 

leaving a parking space. While 

checking the safety of the area 

around the vehicle, make sure 

to depress the brake pedal as 

necessary to slow or stop the 

vehicle.

●

As low objects (curb stones, 

parking blocks, etc.) may not be 

detected, make sure to check 

the safety of the area around 

your vehicle and depress the 

brake pedal to stop the vehicle if 

it may collide with an object.

●

While the Advanced Park is 

operating, if it is likely that your 

vehicle will collide with a nearby 

vehicle, parking block, object, or 

person, depress the brake 

pedal to stop the vehicle and 

press the advance park main 

switch to disable.

●

Never use only the multimedia 

display to view the area behind 

the vehicle. The image dis-

played may differ than the 

actual situation. Using only the 

screen when backing up may 

lead to an accident, such as a 

collision with another vehicle. 

When backing up, make sure to 

look directly or use the mirrors 

to check the safety of the area 

around your vehicle, especially 

behind the vehicle.

NOTICE

■

When using the parallel park-

ing function

●

Make sure that there are no 

obstructions within the yellow 

guide lines and between the 

vehicle and target parking spot. 

If any obstructions are detected 

within the yellow guide lines or 

between the vehicle and the tar-

get parking space, the parallel 

parking function will be can-

celed or suspended.

●

As the target parking space 

cannot be set correctly if the 

surface of the parking space is 

on a slope or has differences in 

height, the vehicle may stray 

from the target parking space or 

be slanted. Therefore, do not 

use the parallel parking func-

tion for this kind of parking spot.

●

If an adjacent parked vehicle is 

narrow or parked extremely 

close to the curb, the position at 

which assistance will park the 

vehicle will also be close to the 

curb. If it seems likely the vehi-

cle will collide with the curb or 

drive off of the road, depress 

the brake pedal to stop the vehi-

cle, and then press the 

Advanced Park main switch to 

disable.

If there is a wall or other barrier 

on the inner side of the parking 

space, the vehicle may stop at a 

position slightly outside of the 

set target parking space.

Depending on the surrounding 

conditions, such as the position 

of other parked vehicles, the 

vehicle may stray from the tar-

get parking space or be slanted. 

Manually realign the vehicle in

The effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem is reduced to prevent the sys-

tem from overheating when there is 

frequent steering input over an 

extended period of time. The steer-

ing wheel may feel heavy as a 

result. Should this occur, refrain 

from excessive steering input or 

stop the vehicle and turn the fuel 

cell system off. The EPS system 

should return to normal within 10 

minutes.

ondary Collision Brake. This sys-

tem is designed to help reduce 

the possibility of further damage 

due to a secondary collision, how-

ever, that effect changes accord-

ing to various conditions. Overly 

relying on the system may result 

in death or serious injury.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the 

specified size, brand, tread pat-

tern and total load capacity. In 

addition, make sure that the tires 

are inflated to the recommended 

tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-

tems will not function correctly if 

different tires are installed on the 

vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-

ther information when replacing 

tires or wheels.

NOTICE

■

Repairing or replacing snow 

tires

Request repairs or replacement of 

snow tires from Toyota dealers or 

legitimate tire retailers.

This is because the removal and 

attachment of snow tires affects

over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.



To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.



Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.



Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.

keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift position to P without setting 
the parking brake. The parking 
brake may freeze up, preventing 
it from being released. If the 
vehicle is parked without setting 
the parking brake, make sure to 
block the wheels.

Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the 
vehicle to move unexpectedly, 
possibly leading to an accident.

Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each 
tire size.

Side chain (0.12 in. [3 mm] in 
diameter)

Cross chain (0.16 in. [4 mm] 
in diameter)

Regulations regarding the use 
of tire chains vary depending on
