The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parallel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the sensors and communicated via the indicator and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Types of sensors
Intuitive parking assist switch
Turns the intuitive parking assist on/off
When on, the indicator light comes on to inform the driver that the system is operational.
The indicator and buzzer
When a sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approximate distance to the obstacle are indicated and the buzzer sounds.
Intuitive parking assist indicator
Sensor operation and distance to an obstacle
The system operates when the vehicle approaches an obstacle, as shown by the following table.
When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer system responds to the nearest obstacle.
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
Detection range of the sensors
The diagram shows the detection range of the sensors. Note that the sensors may not be able to detect obstacles that are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change depending on the shape of the object etc.
Intuitive parking assist can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “on” position and the shift lever is in r.
The engine switch is in ignition on mode and the shift lever is in r.
Sensor detection information
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.
Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sensor’s detection areas before the indicator comes on and the warning beep sounds.
When the system malfunctions
If the corner and center indicators turn on and remain on after that, first check the status of the sensor. If the indicators stay on even though there is no mud, ice or snow on the sensor, the sensor may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your toyota dealer.
If the corner and center indicators flash after that, the sensor may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your toyota dealer.
