WARNING
Sensor detection information
■

Vehicles with front corner sensors/front center sensors:
The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around the
vehicle's front and rear bumpers.
 Vehicles without front corner sensors/front center sensors:
The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around the
vehicle's rear bumper.
● Certain vehicle conditions and surrounding environments, such as the fol-
lowing, may affect the ability of the sensors to correctly detect objects. Pay
particular attention in the following situations. Failure to do so may result in
the vehicle being driven unsafely, possibly leading to an accident.
• When there is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will
resolve this problem.)
• When 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.
• When a sensor is covered in any way.
• When the vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• When driving on an extremely bumpy road, incline, gravel, or grass.
• When the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcy-
cle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing
ultrasonic waves.
• When there is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in
the vicinity.
• When the sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• When the vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• When a bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• When the vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• When driving in harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• When an object is directly under the bumper.
• When objects become too close to the sensors.
• When a non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) 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.
