The key phrase here is "long periods" whatever that means"
In normal parking "full rotation" will not be held for "long periods".
Toytoa is evidenty advising an over abundence of caution.
Even if the thermal sensor does cut out, no permanent damge will be done.
They are simply explaing why, under extreme conditions, the PS may cut out temporarily.
