Front Corner Sensors - Toyota AURION Owner's Manual

PARKING ASSIST-SENSOR SWITCH
To use the parking assist-sensor, press
the parking assist-sensor switch with the
ignition switch set to ON. Pressing the
switch again will turn the parking assist-
sensor off.
When you turn the parking assist-sensor on,
the indicator light on the switch comes on and
a beep sounds for one second, indicating that
the parking assist-sensor is turned on.
If an error is detected in the Toyota parking
assist-sensor while self-checking, beeps
sound and a warning appears in the multi-in-
formation display. For details, see "Toyota
parking assist-sensor failure warning" on
page 173 in this Section.
CAUTION
To avoid an accident or injury, make
sure you consider the following in-
formation when using the parking as-
sist-sensor:
Always drive slowly using the brakes
D
while visually confirming that you
have a safe distance around your ve-
hicle.
Always visually confirm safety which
D
is outside the sensor detection range
because the sensor detection range is
limited around the bumper. For the
sensor detection range, see "Detec-
tion range of sensors" on page 172 in
this Section.
Drive slowly and monitor the parking
D
assist-sensor because it might take
time for the sensors to detect ob-
stacles.
Indicators and beeps may not warn
D
you properly and the detection range
may be shortened depending on the
shape of the obstacle.
It might be difficult to hear beeps due
D
to the volume of audio or air flow
noise of the air conditioning.

—Front corner sensors

The front corner sensors only operate
when the vehicle speed is less than about
10 km/h. It checks the approximate dis-
tance to obstacles at an angle to the front
of the vehicle, and sounds a warning de-
pending on the distance. This sensor does
not operate if the transmission is in "P"
position.
The indicator bars come on depending on the
distance to the obstacle and flash when the
distance between the vehicle and the ob-
stacle is less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.).
1. Approximately 37.5 cm (1.1 ft.) to 50 cm
(1.5 ft.) from the obstacle
2. Approximately 25 cm (0.8 ft.) to 37.5 cm
(1.1 ft.) from the obstacle
3. Within 25 cm (0.8 ft.) of the obstacle
Beeps: As the distance to the obstacle gets
closer, the interval of the intermittent sound
gets shorter, and then finally changes to a
continuous sound when the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
about 25 cm (0.8 ft.).
CAUTION
When you move your vehicle, be sure to
visually confirm the area around your
vehicle and drive slowly, or an accident
or injury may result.
