Make Toyota Backup Guidelines Start Moving Again

Car: Toyota Sienna 2020 (Limited)

When I drive in reverse, rear view has yellow guidelines which turn when I turn the steering wheel.

After my battery died, these guidelines still appeared, but stopped moving with the steering.

To make them move again:

  1. Restart the car.
  2. Switch to reverse speed while holding break.
  3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and wait a few seconds.
  4. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and wait a few seconds.
  5. Turn the steering wheel back to middle.

This process recalibrates them and makes them start working again. (That’s why some people say it starts working on its own. They end up doing this during the normal course of driving.)

In case guidelines aren’t showing at all, the reverse view has a button on the bottom-right of the touchscreen to switch view modes. Make sure the right mode is chosen.
