1. General recommendations

Always remember that while this device is a valid aid when reversing, it is the driver who is
ultimately responsible for assessing nearby obstacles. Always drive with due care and
caution in order to prevent damage to persons or to property. If you reverse at high speed
the sensors will not be able to detect obstacles in time.
2. Temporary malfunction
The Toyota Parking Aid may not operate correctly in the following situations:
– where there is foreign matter on the sensor (ice, snow, mud,...)
– if you are close to a radio communications antenna
– if you are approaching a source of ultrasonic waves (horn, motorcycle engine,...)
– if the road is bumpy
– if the sensor is covered
– if the vehicle is listing due to unequal load distribution
– in heavy rain or if water splashes onto the sensor
– if you get too close to an obstacle
– if the sensor is frozen.
3. Reduced sensing range
The sensing range may decrease in the following situations:
– if the vehicle is parked for a long time in hot sun or in cold weather
– in case of objects with low reflective properties
– if the detection sensor is clogged with mud, snow or ice.
