The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when
parallel
parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the displays and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Types of sensors
- Front corner sensors
- Front center sensors
- Rear corner sensors
- Rear center sensors
Turning the intuitive parking assist on/off
1. Press
 of the meter control
switches, select  .
2. Press  of the meter
control
switches, select  .
3. Press  of the
meter control
switch.
Each time is pressed,
the function changes on/off.
When on, the indicator light comes on to inform the driver that the
system
is operational.
Display
When the sensors detect an obstacle, the following displays inform
the driver of the position and distance to the obstacle.
■ Multi-information display
- Front corner sensor operation
- Front center sensor operation
- Rear corner sensor operation
- Rear center sensor operation
- Select to mute the buzzer
sounds.
■ Audio system screen
- Intuitive parking assist
When the vehicle is moving
backward.
A simplified image is displayed
on the upper part of the screen
when an obstacle is detected.
■Muting the buzzer sound
- To mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by pressing
of the meter control
switches while an obstacle detection display is shown on the
multi-information
display.
- To cancel the mute
Mute will be automatically cancelled in the following
situations.
- When the shift position is changed
- When the vehicle speed has reached or exceeded
approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) with the shift lever in D
- When the intuitive parking assist is turned off once and
turned on again
- When the engine switch is turned off once and turned to
IGNITION ON
mode again
- When a sensor is malfunctioning
Sensor detection display, obstacle distance
■ Distance display
Sensors that detect an obstacle will illuminate continuously or blink.
*: The images may differ from those shown in the illustrations.
■ Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
Detection range of the sensors
- Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
- Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
- Approximately 2.6 ft. (80 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect obstacles
that are extremely close to the
vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
- Front corner sensors:
- The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
- The shift lever is in other than P.
- The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
- Front center sensors:
- The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
- The shift lever is in other than P or R.
- The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
- Rear corner and rear center sensors:
- The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
- The shift lever is in R.
- The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Toyota parking assist
monitor or panoramic
view monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the
upper
part of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.
■Sensor detection information
- The sensor's detection areas are limited to the areas around
the vehicle's
bumper.
- 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 buzzer
sounds.
- Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be
detected 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 the air conditioning system.
■If "Parking Assist Unavailable Clean Parking Assist Sensor"
is displayed
on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such
cases, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a
malfunction display
may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws
out,
the system should return to normal.
■Certification
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB-001 du Canada.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
| WARNING ■When using the intuitive parking
assist
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 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.
|
| WARNING ■Sensors
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment
may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle.
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.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the
screen may show an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.
- 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 ultrasonic
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 sensor is drenched with water on a flooded road.
- The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or
wireless antenna.
- Towing eyelets are installed.
- The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
- The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
- The detection range is reduced due to an object such
as a sign.
- 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.
- A backlit license plate is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in
which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a
sensor to be closer
than they are. |
| WARNING ■Obstacles which may not be properly
detected
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a 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
- People may not be detected if they are wearing
certain types of clothing.
- Moving objects such as people or animals
|
| NOTICE ■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function
correctly due to a
sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the
sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning. |
