Situation Actions
When the area around a sensor is covered with dirt, moisture (fogged up, covered with condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign matter To clean the part of the windshield in front of the front camera, use the windshield wipers or the windshield defogger of the air conditioning system (Air conditioning controls - Defogging the windshield, Air conditioning controls - Defogging the windshield).
When the temperature around the front camera is outside of the operational range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment If the front camera is hot, such as after the vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the air conditioning system to decrease the temperature around the front camera. If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was parked, depending on its type, the sunlight reflected from the surface of the sunshade may cause the temperature of the front camera to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such as after the vehicle is parked in an extremely cold environment, use the air conditioning system to increase the temperature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is attached to the part of the windshield in front of the front camera. Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to clear the obstruction.
In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will become operational. If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer. When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front camera
