The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear area
of the vehicle.

WARNING

●

In low temperatures, the screen

may darken or the image may

become faint. The image could

distort when the vehicle is mov-

ing, or you may become unable

to see the image on the screen.

Be sure to visually check all

around the vehicle both directly

and using the mirrors before

proceeding.

●

If the tire sizes are changed, the

position of the fixed guide lines

displayed on the screen may

change.

●

The camera uses a special lens.

The distances between objects

and pedestrians that appear in

the image displayed on the

screen will differ from the actual

distances. (

■

Using the camera

If dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud, etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
In this case, flush it with a large
quantity of water and wipe the
camera lens clean with a soft
and wet cloth.

The distance guide lines and
the vehicle width guide lines

may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.



The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.



The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

■

When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply

The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

NOTICE

●

The rear view monitor system

may not operate properly in the

following cases.

• If the back of the vehicle is hit,

the position and mounting angle

of the camera may change.

• As the camera has a water

proof construction, do not

detach, disassemble or modify

it. This may cause incorrect

operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens,

flush the camera with a large

quantity of water and wipe it

with a soft and wet cloth.

Strongly rubbing the camera

lens may cause the camera lens

to be scratched and unable to

transmit a clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent,

car wax, window cleaner or a

glass coating to adhere to the

camera. If this happens, wipe it

off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rap-

idly, such as when hot water is

poured on the vehicle in cold

weather, the system may not

operate normally.

• When washing the vehicle, do

not apply intensive bursts of

water to the camera or camera

area. Doing so may result in the

camera malfunctioning.

●

Do not expose the camera to

strong impact as this could

cause a malfunction. If this hap-

pens, have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota dealer

as soon as possible.

■

When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes down
sharply

The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be closer than they
actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guide lines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

■

When any part of the vehi-
cle sags

When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of the
load, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on
the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

ing

The distance guide lines are dis-
played according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is
not possible to determine the
position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using
the vehicle width guide lines and
distance guide lines. When
approaching a three-dimen-
sional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a
truck), be careful of the follow-
ing.

■

Vehicle width guide lines

Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown below, the
truck appears to be outside of
the vehicle width guide lines and
the vehicle does not look as if it
hits the truck. However, the rear
body of the truck may actually
cross over the vehicle width
guide lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the vehicle
width guide lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck.

The screen illustrations used in

this text are intended as exam-

ples, and may differ from the

image that is actually displayed on

the screen.

The parking assist monitor is a
supplemental device intended to
assist the driver when backing
up. When backing up, be sure to
visually check all around the
vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceeding. If
you do not, you may hit another
vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following
precautions when using the
parking assist monitor.

Toyota parking assist

monitor

The parking assist monitor
assists the driver by dis-
playing an image of the view
behind the vehicle while
backing up, for example
while parking.
When the display is
changed to the wide rear
view mode, a wider lateral
view behind the vehicle will
be displayed.

Driving precautions

WARNING

●

Never depend on the parking

assist monitor entirely when

backing up. The image and the

position of the guide lines dis-

played on the screen may differ

from the actual state.

Use caution, just as you would

when backing up any vehicle.

●

Be sure to back up slowly,

depressing the brake pedal to

control vehicle speed.

●

If you seem likely to hit nearby

vehicles, obstacles, people or

mount the shoulder, depress

the brake pedal to stop the vehi-

cle.

●

The instructions given are only

guidelines. When and how

much to turn the steering wheel

will vary according to traffic con-

ditions, road surface condi-

tions, vehicle condition, etc.

when parking. It is necessary to

be fully aware of this before

using the parking assist system.

●

When parking, be sure to check

that the parking space will

accommodate your vehicle

before maneuvering into it.

●

Do not use the parking assist

monitor in the following cases:

• On icy or slick road surfaces, or

in snow

• When using tire chains or emer-

gency tires

• When the back door is not

closed completely

• On roads that are not flat or

straight, such as curves or

slopes

• If the suspension has been

modified or tires of a size other

than specified are installed
