OTHER EQUIPMENT

Rear view monitor system

(vehicles with navigation

system)

ing assist-sensor may be malfunctioning.

Have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

The rear view monitor system assists the

driver by displaying an image of the view

behind the vehicle while reversing.

The image is reversed on the screen, al-

lowing for a view similar to that of a rear-

view mirror.

To display the rear view image on the

screen, place the selector lever in the “R”

position when the ignition switch is set to

ON.

If you move the selector lever out of the “R”

position, the display returns to the previous

screen. Operating another function of the

navigation system will display another

screen.

The rear view monitor system is a supple-

mental device intended to assist in reversing

the vehicle safely. When reversing, be sure

to check behind and all around the vehicle

visually.

(b) When the sensor is malfunctioning

If the sensor cable is broken and the park-

ing assist-sensor cannot detect the object

properly, the above message appears. At

this time, the indicator bars correspond-

ing to the faulty sensor flash for about 7

seconds and 2 beeps sound 5 times.

CAUTION

The indicator bars continue lighting after

flashing.

D To avoid an accident, always conduct

a visual check behind and all around

your vehicle and use the mirrors be-

fore and when reversing in addition to

using the rear monitor system.

The above illustration shows the sensor on

the right rear of the vehicle malfunctioning.

If this message appears, have the parking as-

sist-sensor checked by your Toyota dealer.

This is because the system is

device to supplement, not replace,

other measures to assist with safe

reversing.

NOTICE

Contact your Toyota dealer to check

your parking assist-sensor system in

the following cases which indicate the

system is malfunctioning:

D To avoid an accident, never reverse

while looking only at the rear view mo-

nitor screen. This is because the

image on the screen is different from

actual conditions and depicted dis-

tances between objects and flat sur-

faces differ from actual distances.

D The message CHECK SONAR appears

as shown above.

D The indicator in the instrument

cluster does not come on and a beep

does not sound even when the parking

assist-sensor main switch is turned

on.

D The warning comes on despite no ob-

stacle around the vehicle.
