■Precautions for use

For details on the following, refer to "Multimedia owner's manual".

■Detection range of the cameras and sensors

• If a parked vehicle is behind the target parking space and the distance between it and the vehicle becomes far, it may no longer be able to be detected. Depending on shape or condition of a parked vehicle, the detection range may become short or the vehicle may not be detected.
• Objects other than parked vehicles, such as columns, walls, etc., may not be detected. Also, if they are detected, they may cause the target parking space to be misaligned.

■Situations in which parking space lines may not be recognized properly

• In situations such as the following, parking space lines on the road surface may not be detected:
  • When the parking space does not use lines (parking space boundaries are marked with rope, blocks, etc.)
  • When the parking space lines are faded or dirty, making them unclear
  • When the road surface is bright, such as concrete, and the contrast between it and the white parking space lines is small
  • When the parking space lines are any color other than yellow or white
  • When the area surrounding the parking space is dark, such as at night, in an underground parking lot, parking garage, etc.
  • When it is raining or has rained and the road surface is wet and reflective or there are puddles
  • When the sun is shining directly into a camera, such as in the early morning or evening
  • When the parking space is covered with snow or de-icing agent
  • When there marks from repairs or other marks on the road surface, or there is a traffic bollard, or other object on the road surface
  • When the color or brightness of the road surface is uneven
  • When a camera has been splashed by hot or cold water and the lens has fogged up
  • When the appearance of the parking space is affected by the shadow of the vehicle or trees
  • When a camera lens is dirty or covered with water droplets
• In situations such as the following, the target parking space may not be recognized correctly:
  • When there marks from repairs or other marks on the road surface, or there is a parking block, traffic bollard, or other object on the road surface
  • When it is raining or has rained and the road surface is wet and reflective or there are puddles
  • When the area around the vehicle is dark or backlit
  • When the color or brightness of the road surface is uneven
  • When the parking space is on a slope
  • When there are diagonal lines (access aisle) near the parking space
  • When the appearance of the parking space is affected by the shadow of a parked vehicle (such as shadows from the grille, side step, etc.)
  • When accessories which obstruct the view of the camera are installed
  • When the parking space lines are faded or dirty, making them unclear
  • When the appearance of the parking space is affected by the shadow of the vehicle or trees

WARNING

■Precautions for the cameras and sensors

• Due to the characteristics of the camera lens, the position of and distance to people and objects displayed on the screen may differ from the actual situation. For details, refer to "Multimedia owner's manual".
• Make sure to observe the precautions for using the Toyota parking assist-sensor, otherwise a sensor may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident.
• In situations such as the following, the sensors may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident.

  Proceed carefully.

  • When there is a parked vehicle next to the target parking space, if the displayed target parking space is far from the actual target parking space, a sensor may be misaligned.

    Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

  • Do not install any accessories near the detection area of the sensors.
