Toyota bZ4X Owner's Manual: Toyota Teammate Advanced Park: Your Parking Assistance System

Function Description

Toyota Teammate Advanced Park represents a sophisticated system designed to aid drivers in safely and smoothly maneuvering their vehicle into or out of parking spaces. This technology enhances the parking experience by providing a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings and the intended parking spot through a bird's eye perspective displayed on the multimedia screen. It offers operational guidance via visual cues and buzzer alerts and takes control of gear shifting, steering wheel operation, and accelerator and brake pedal input during the parking process.

Furthermore, the panoramic view monitor* provides an extended view of the areas in front, behind, and directly above your vehicle, enabling you to confirm the conditions of the entire surrounding environment before and during parking maneuvers.

The turn signal lights on your vehicle will automatically blink once the parking assistance is initiated and will continue until the vehicle is correctly positioned within the target parking space. This feature serves as a clear notification to pedestrians and other vehicles in the vicinity that an automated parking operation is in progress.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of Advanced Park can be influenced by various factors, including the condition of the road surface, the specific characteristics of your vehicle, and the distance and orientation relative to the parking space. In some instances, assisting with parking in the desired spot might not be feasible.

Always ensure that you use Toyota Teammate Advanced Park in strict accordance with all applicable local road traffic laws and regulations to maintain safety and legality.

Functions of Advanced Park Perpendicular Parking (Forward and Reverse) Assistance

This function provides comprehensive assistance starting from the moment your vehicle is positioned near a designated perpendicular parking space until it is completely and accurately parked within that space, whether you are driving forward or reversing.

Perpendicular Exiting (Forward and Reverse) Assistance

This feature offers assistance when you are ready to depart from a perpendicular parking space. It guides your vehicle from its parked position to a point where you can easily and safely exit the parking area, regardless of whether you need to move forward or reverse to leave.

Parallel Parking Assistance

Similar to perpendicular parking, this function aids you in parallel parking. It activates from the point where your vehicle is near the intended parallel parking spot and continues until your vehicle is successfully parked within the lines.

Parallel Exiting Assistance

When you need to leave a parallel parking spot, this function will guide your vehicle from its parked position to a location that provides ample space for you to easily maneuver out into traffic.

Memory Function for Parking

The Advanced Park system also includes a memory function that allows you to register specific parking spaces. Once a space is memorized, the system can provide automated assistance to guide your vehicle precisely into that pre-registered parking location whenever you choose to use it.

WARNING - Important Safety Information Regarding the Use of Advanced Park

The recognition and control capabilities of the Toyota Teammate Advanced Park system are subject to certain limitations. It is crucial to always remain attentive and responsible while using this technology.

• Just as with operating a conventional vehicle, it is essential to continuously observe your surroundings with diligence while your vehicle is in motion during an Advanced Park operation.
• Always maintain focus on the vehicle's environment while the system is active. Be prepared to manually intervene by depressing the brake pedal as needed to either slow down or bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary.
• Prior to initiating the Advanced Park function, carefully assess the target parking space to ensure that your vehicle can realistically be parked within its confines without any obstructions or issues.
• Depending on various factors such as the condition of the road surface, the characteristics of your vehicle, and the distance to the parking space, the Advanced Park system might not be able to accurately detect a parking space, or it may not be able to provide complete assistance all the way until your vehicle is fully parked.
• The Advanced Park system is designed to guide your vehicle to appropriate positions for making necessary turns during parking. However, if at any point you feel that the vehicle is getting too close to an adjacent parked vehicle or any other obstacle, immediately depress the brake pedal and, if needed, change the gear shift position to take manual control. Be aware that doing so might increase the number of maneuvers required and could potentially result in the vehicle being parked at a slight angle.
• Certain objects or materials might not be reliably detected by the Advanced Park system's sensors. It is imperative to always visually check the safety of the area around your vehicle and be prepared to depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle if a potential collision with an undetected object is possible. This includes:
• Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes, poles, or objects that appear thin from certain angles like signs and bicycles.
• Materials that have sound-absorbing properties, including cotton and snow.
• Sharp-edged objects such as the corners of block walls or columns.
• Objects situated in lower positions, including curb stones, parking blocks, and stairs.
• Tall objects that have upper sections protruding outward, such as beams.
• Objects that are not oriented perpendicular to the ground.
• Objects that your vehicle is approaching at a diagonal angle.
• Even if an object is present within the target parking space, the Advanced Park system might not detect it and may still proceed with the parking assistance.
• If you perceive a likely risk of collision with a nearby vehicle, object, person, or of your vehicle going over the top of a parking block, immediately depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and then press the Advanced Park main switch to deactivate the system.

When the Brakes Are Applied During Advanced Park

When the brakes are applied by the driver while Toyota Teammate Advanced Park is in operation in your 2025 Toyota bZ4X, you might hear a sound related to the brake operation. This is a normal occurrence and does not indicate any malfunction within the braking system or the Advanced Park feature.

NOTICE - Important Information Regarding the Memory Function of Advanced Park

• The memory function in your 2025 Toyota bZ4X's Advanced Park system allows you to register specific parking spaces for easier automated parking in the future. However, if the conditions of the road surface, your vehicle, or the surrounding area are different from when you initially registered the parking space, the system might not be able to accurately detect the space, or it might not provide complete assistance to fully park your vehicle in the memorized location.
• Avoid registering a parking space using the memory function in the following situations, as it might prevent successful registration or hinder assistance later on:

• When the camera lens is dirty or has water droplets on it, as this can obstruct the view.
• During rain or snowfall, which can affect the camera's visibility and road surface recognition.
• When the surrounding area is very dark, such as at night or in poorly lit areas.

• In the following situations, you might not be able to successfully register a parking space in the system's memory:

• When there is insufficient space between the road and the parking spot to perform the registration procedure.
• When the road surface around the parking space lacks any distinguishable features that the system can recognize as a reference.

• If a parking space has been registered under any of the following conditions, the system might not be able to initiate assistance later, or it might not guide you correctly to the registered parking position:

• When shadows are cast over the parking space, such as from a carport or nearby trees, as this can alter the visual appearance.

• When there are leaves, garbage, or other objects that are likely to move within the parking space, as these can confuse the system.
• When the road surface around the parking space has a highly repetitive pattern, like bricks, which can make it difficult for the system to pinpoint the exact location.

• In the following situations, the system might not be able to provide assistance to a registered parking spot:

• When the appearance of the parking space is affected by shadows from your vehicle or nearby trees.
• When an object is detected within the registered parking space that wasn't there during registration.
• When a pedestrian or another vehicle passes by while the system is attempting to provide assistance.
• When the position where you stop your vehicle to start the assistance differs significantly from the position where you were when you originally registered the parking space.
• When the registered parking space has become inaccessible due to the presence of parking blocks or other obstacles.
• When the road surface around the parking space has changed since registration, such as due to degradation or resurfacing.
• When the lighting conditions from sunlight are different from those present during the registration process, due to changes in weather or time of day.
• When direct sunlight is shining into one of the vehicle's cameras, such as during early morning or late evening.
• When there are significant variations in the color or brightness of the road surface around the parking space.
• When a light source is temporarily shining on the parking space, such as from another vehicle's headlights or a security light.
• When the road surface around the parking space has a repetitive pattern.
• When there is a low-lying protrusion on the road surface near the parking space that wasn't present during registration.
• When the parking space is located on a slope or uneven surface.
• When a camera has been splashed with hot or cold water, causing the lens to fog up and obstruct the view.
• When a camera lens is dirty or has water droplets on it.
• When accessories that obstruct the view of the camera have been installed since registration.

NOTICE

If the registration process for the memory function is interrupted or ended prematurely, you will need to perform the registration again from the beginning.

• When attempting to register a parking space using the memory function, if the road surface cannot be clearly detected by the system, a message indicating "No available parking space to register" will be displayed on the screen.
• When using the memory function to park in a registered space, ensure that you stop your vehicle immediately in front of the designated starting position indicated by the system. Failing to do so might result in the parking space not being correctly detected, or the system might not provide complete assistance to fully park your vehicle.
• Do not use the memory function if any of the vehicle's cameras have sustained a strong impact or if the images displayed on the panoramic view monitor appear misaligned or distorted.
• If any of the vehicle's cameras have been replaced, the installation angle will likely have changed. Therefore, it will be necessary to re-register all previously saved parking spaces in the memory function to ensure accurate parking assistance.

Advanced Park Cancellation and Suspension When Assistance Will Be Canceled

In the following situations, the Toyota Teammate Advanced Park operation in your 2025 Toyota bZ4X will be canceled. If this occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel and depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop.

Once the system operation has been canceled, you will need to either begin the Advanced Park process again from the start or manually park the vehicle using the steering wheel and pedals.

• The Advanced Park main switch is pressed by the driver.
• The gear shift position is manually changed to 'P' (Park).
• The parking brake is manually engaged.
• Any of the vehicle's doors or the back door/liftgate is opened.
• The driver's seat belt is unfastened while the system is operating.
• The outside rearview mirrors are manually folded in by the driver.

When Assistance Will Be Suspended

In the following situations, the Toyota Teammate Advanced Park operation will be temporarily suspended.

You can typically resume the assistance by following the instructions that will be displayed on the multimedia screen. Pay close attention to these prompts to continue the parking maneuver.

Also, when the assistance is suspended, if you change the gear shift position twice while keeping the brake pedal depressed, the assistance will be completely canceled for that specific parking attempt. However, if the assistance is initially suspended due to a change in the gear shift position by the driver, assistance will be canceled if the shift position is changed even once more.

• The driver manually operates the steering wheel during the automated parking process.
• The driver depresses the accelerator pedal, overriding the system's speed control.
• The gear shift position is manually changed by the driver.
• A moving object or a stationary object that the system perceives as a potential collision risk has been detected, leading to the activation of the EV system output control or the braking control of the Advanced Park system.
• The Camera switch (if equipped) is pressed by the driver.

Changing the Advanced Park settings

Select on the multimedia display, and then select "Advanced Park".

Customizing Your Toyota Teammate Advanced Park Settings

The Toyota Teammate Advanced Park system in your 2025 Toyota bZ4X offers several customizable settings to tailor the parking assistance to your preferences and needs:

Speed Profile

You can adjust the vehicle's speed at which the automated parking assistance is performed. This allows you to choose a speed that feels comfortable for you during the parking maneuver.

Please note that the speed profile setting cannot be modified when you are registering a parking space to the memory function.

Obstacle Detection Range

You have the option to set the distance at which the Advanced Park system will begin to take action to avoid obstacles detected around your vehicle during parking assistance.

Preferred Parking Method

When you are near a parking space where both perpendicular (forward/reverse) and parallel parking are feasible options, you can set your preferred parking direction to be displayed by the system.

Preferred Parking Direction (Perpendicular)

You can specifically select whether you prefer the system to initially suggest pulling into a perpendicular parking space in a forward or reverse direction when both options are available.

Preferred Exit Direction (Perpendicular)

When exiting from a perpendicular parking space, you can set your preference for the system to initially suggest exiting by moving forward or reversing, and to which side (left or right).

Preferred Exit Direction (Parallel)

Similarly, when exiting from a parallel parking space, you can choose your preferred direction – left or right – for the system to suggest.

Camera View When Parking

You can adjust the displayed angle of the camera image that appears on the multimedia screen when you are using the perpendicular parking (forward/reverse) or parallel parking functions. This allows you to optimize the view for better situational awareness.

Camera View When Exiting

Likewise, you can configure the preferred display angle of the camera image when utilizing the perpendicular exiting (forward/reverse) or parallel parking exit functions.

Parking Path Adjustment

The trajectory that the vehicle follows during automated parking assistance can be fine-tuned to be slightly more inward or outward within the parking space. This can be useful for personalizing the final parking position.

If your vehicle's tires are worn, you might notice that the parking path is slightly offset from the center of the parking space. In such cases, you can use the Parking Path Adjustment setting to compensate for this and center the vehicle more accurately.

Road Width Adjustment

When parking assistance begins, you can adjust the initial amount of lateral movement that the vehicle makes while moving forward to approach the parking space. This can be helpful in different parking environments.

Park Position Adjustment (Forward)

You can slightly adjust the final position at which perpendicular parking (when driving forward into the space) is completed. This setting is not available when using the memory function for parking.

Park Position Adjustment (Reverse)

Similarly, you can fine-tune the final position after perpendicular parking is completed when reversing into the space. This adjustment is also not available when using the memory function.

Rear Accessory Setting

If you have installed a rear accessory such as a trailer hitch to your 2025 Toyota bZ4X, you can adjust the system to account for the added length at the rear of the vehicle. This helps the Parking Support Brake and Advanced Park systems avoid potential collisions with objects located behind your vehicle.

Clear Registered Parking Space

You have the ability to delete parking spaces that you have previously registered to the memory function. Please note that you cannot delete parking space information while the Advanced Park system is actively providing assistance or while you are in the process of registering new parking spaces to the memory function.

NOTICE - Important Considerations for Park Position Adjustments

• Exercise caution when using the park position adjustment (forward) or park position adjustment (reverse) features. Incorrect adjustments could lead to your vehicle colliding with parking blocks, curb stones, or other low-lying objects.
• If you believe that your vehicle is at risk of colliding with a nearby vehicle, object, parking block, or curb stone, immediately depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and then press the Advanced Park main switch to disable the system entirely.

Advanced Park Displayed Messages

The current operating status, the steps of the assistance process, and other relevant information about Toyota Teammate Advanced Park will be displayed on the multimedia screen in your 2025 Toyota bZ4X. If a message appears, it is important to read it carefully and respond according to the instructions provided on the screen.

If "No available parking space" is displayed

This message indicates that the system could not detect a suitable parking space or parking lines in the current location. Try moving your vehicle to a different spot where a parking space or clear parking lines are more readily detectable.

If "Unavailable in current condition" is displayed

This message suggests that the Advanced Park system cannot be used in the current situation due to various environmental or vehicle-related factors. Try moving your vehicle to another location and attempting to use the system there.

If "Not enough space to exit" is displayed

This message appears specifically when using the parallel parking exit function. It indicates that the system has determined that there is insufficient space to perform an automated exit, possibly due to the close proximity of vehicles parked in front and behind yours or the presence of an obstruction in your intended exit path. In such cases, you will need to manually check the area around your vehicle and exit the parking space yourself.

If "Cannot control speed" is displayed

This message indicates that the Advanced Park system has detected that it cannot accurately control the vehicle's speed, typically when operating on a slope or a surface with steps or significant inclines. As a result, the automated parking assistance has been canceled. It is recommended to use the system on a level surface to ensure proper speed control.

If "Obstacle detected" is displayed

This message appears when the system's sensors have detected a moving or stationary object in close proximity to your vehicle that poses a potential collision risk. In response, the EV system output control and/or braking control of the Advanced Park system will activate, and the automated assistance will be temporarily suspended. Carefully check the surrounding area for any obstacles. To resume the parking assistance, select the "Start" button on the multimedia display.

If "No available parking space to register" is displayed

This specific message appears when you select the option to register a parking space (indicated by a specific icon) in a location where the system cannot detect suitable features on the road surface to define a parking space. To register a parking space, ensure you are in a location where the system can recognize differences in the road surface that delineate the parking area.
