Toyota CH-R: Toyota parking assist-sensor object warning function (vehicles with Advanced Park)

The object warning function informs the driver of the existence of objects along the side of the vehicle, using a display and buzzer, if the objects are within the estimated path of the vehicle.

1. Object
2. Calculated vehicle route

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the location of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the object warning function will operate.

1. Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

1. The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not detected.
2. Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3. Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer sounds.

■Object warning function operating conditions

• The vehicle moves about 7 m (23.0 ft.) after the hybrid system is started.
• The R shift position is selected.
• After the D shift position has been selected, the vehicle has moved 7 m (23.0 ft.) or less.
• switch has been pressed and the multimedia display is displayed.
• The front or rear sensor detects a stationary object.

■Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle

• Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first detected by the front or rear side sensors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle, it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the side sensors or side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the vehicle.
• If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is detected by a side sensors or side cameras, but then leaves the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, the system will assume the object has not moved.

WARNING

■Side sensors and side cameras

In situations such as the following, the function may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident. Proceed carefully.

• When starting off shortly after the power switch is turned to ON and a small vehicle or other object which cannot be detected by a front side sensor is next to the vehicle.

In the situation shown in the following illustration, even if the vehicle starts off, the vehicle on the left will not be detected and the object warning function will not operate.

• When an object or person is in a position which cannot be detected by the side sensors or side cameras.
• When, after the side sensors have completed scanning the areas along the sides of the vehicle, a vehicle, person, or other object approaches the side of the vehicle and cannot be detected.
• When the outside rear view mirror is closed, the side sensors or side cameras cannot detect objects.
• If the 12-volt battery was discharged or has been removed and installed, fold and extend the outside rear view mirrors.
