The camera
The camera for the parking assist
monitor is located as shown in the
illustration.
Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as
water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is
adhering to the camera, it cannot
transmit a clear image. In this case,
flush it with a large quantity of water
and wipe the camera lens clean
with a soft and wet cloth.
Dirt on the camera lens can be
cleaned by operating the dedicated
camera cleaning washer. (P.292)
NOTICE
The parking assist monitor may not
operate properly in the following
cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-

incorrect operation.
4-5. Using the driving support systems
• When cleaning the camera lens,
flush the camera with a large quan-
tity of water and wipe it with a soft
and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the
camera lens may cause the camera
lens to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or a glass
coating to adhere to the camera. If
this happens, wipe it off as soon as
possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
Do not expose the camera to strong
impact as this could cause a mal-
function. If this happens, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
Cleaning the camera with
washer fluid (if equipped)
When cleaning the camera, it
may be difficult to see the image
due to the washer fluid. There-
fore, take care in the surrounding
area while driving.
If washer fluid remains on the
camera lens surface after clean-
ing, the image may be difficult to
see at night due to the height or
inclination of the headlights of
the vehicle behind. In this case,
change to optical mirror mode.
Some dirts may not be removed
completely after cleaning. In this
