Vehicle (vehicles with  
Advanced Park) 
 P. 3 6 3
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system 
Do not overly rely on the system, as  doing so may lead to an accident. 
Always drive while checking the  safety of the surroundings of the vehi-cle. 
Depending on the vehicle and road  conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate. 
The detection capabilities of sensors  and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur- 
roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for 
safe driving. Always drive carefully,  taking care to observe your sur-roundings. The Parking Support  
Brake system is designed to pro- vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not  
operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system 
is not designed to stop the vehicle  completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it  
is necessary to depress the brake  pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately  
2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check 
the system operations by intention- ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never  
attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup- port Brake 
In the following situations, disable the  
Parking Support Brake as the system  may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or  
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a 
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than  specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an  
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle  carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or  
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a 
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly 
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare  tire or an emergency tire puncture  
repair kit is used
■Precautions for the suspension 
Do not modify the suspension of the  vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehi-cle is changed, the sensors may not  
be able to detect detectable objects  and the system may not operate cor-rectly, possibly leading to an accident.

■If the Parking Support Brake has  operated 
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation  of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-ing Support Brake will be disabled and  
the driving assist information indicator  will illuminate. If the Parking Support Brake operates unnecessarily, brake  
control can be canceled by depressing  the brake pedal or waiting for approxi-mately 2 seconds for it to automatically  
be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be  operated by depressing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support  
Brake 
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake  when it has been disabled due to opera- 
tion of the Parking Support Brake, either  
enable the system again ( P.354), or  turn the power switch off and then back to ON. 
Additionally, if any of the following condi- tions are met, the system will be re-enabled automatically and the driving  
assist information indicator will turn off:
●The P shift position is selected
●The object is no longer detected in the  traveling direction of the vehicle
●The traveling direction of the vehicle  
changes* 
*: Except when the Pedestrian Rear of  
the Vehicle operated.
■Toyota parking assist-sensor  
buzzer 
Regardless of whether the Toyota park- ing assist-sensor buzzer is enabled or  
not, if the PKSB (Parking Support  Brake) system is enabled, the front or rear sensors detect a static object and  
brake control is performed, the Toyota  parking assist-sensor buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate  
distance to the object.
■If a 12-volt battery terminal has  been disconnected and recon-nected 
The system needs to be initialized. To  initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at  
a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22  mph) or more.

cle and the system determines  
that a collision may occur due  
to the vehicle suddenly mov- 
ing forward due to an acciden- 
tal accelerator pedal operation,  
the vehicle moving the unin- 
tended direction due to the  
wrong shift position being  
selected, or while parking or  
traveling at low speeds, the  
system will operate to lessen  
the impact with the detected  
static object and reduce the  
resulting damage.

The function will operate when the driv- 
ing assist information indicator is not illu- minated ( P.169, 519) and all of the  following conditions are met:
●EV system output restriction control• The Parking Support Brake is  
enabled. 
• The vehicle speed is approximately 15  
km/h (9 mph) or less. • There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and approxi- 
mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away. • The Parking Support Brake deter-mines that a stronger-than-normal  
brake operation is necessary to avoid  a collision.
●Brake control• EV system output restriction control is operating. 
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an immediate brake opera-tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
■The system will stop operating  
when 
The function will stop operating if any of  the following conditions are met:
●EV system output restriction control• The Parking Support Brake is dis- 
abled. • The system determines that the colli-sion has become avoidable with nor- 
mal brake operation. • The static object is no longer approxi-mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from  
the vehicle or in the traveling direction  of the vehicle.
●Brake control• The Parking Support Brake is dis-abled. 
• Approximately 2 seconds have  elapsed since the vehicle was stopped by brake control. 
• The brake pedal is depressed after  the vehicle is stopped by brake con-trol. 
• The static object is no longer approxi- mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction  
of the vehicle.
■Detection range 
The detection range of the system dif- fers from the detection range of the  
Toyota parking assist-sensor. ( P.337) 
Therefore, even if the Toyota parking  assist-sensor detects a static and pro- 
vides a warning, the PKSB (Parking  Support Brake) system may not start

■Sensor detection information 
The detection range of the system dif- fers from the detection range of the Toyota parking assist-sensor. 
Therefore, even if the Toyota parking  assist-sensor detects a static object and provides a warning, the PKSB (Parking  
Support Brake) system may not start  operating.
■Objects which the sensor may not be properly detected 
 P. 3 3 5
■Situations in which the system may  
operate even though there is no  possibility of a collision 
In addition to the situations in which sta- 
tionary objects around the vehicle  ( P.358) may not be detected, objects  may not be detected by the sensors in  
the following situations 
When moving sideways, such as when  parallel parking:  P.359
■Detection of objects along the  
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the vehicle 
are not instantaneously detected. The  location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first  
detected by the front or rear side sen- sors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the power switch is changed to ON,  
even if an object is along the side of  the vehicle, it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a  
small amount and the side sensors or  side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the vehicle.

cameras, but then leaves the detec- 
tion area of the side sensors or side  cameras, the system will assume the object has not moved.
*: If equipped
The Advanced Park is a system  
which assists in safely and  
smoothly parking in a target parking  
space by displaying the blind spots  
around the vehicle and the parking  
spot through a bird’s eye view,  
delivering operation guidance  
through displays and buzzer opera- 
tion, and changing the shift posi- 
tion, operating the steering wheel,  
accelerator pedal, and brake pedal. 
Additionally, the panoramic view  
monitor can display the area in  
front, behind, and from above the  
vehicle, helping confirm the condi- 
tion of the area around the vehicle. 
For details on the panoramic view  
monitor refer to “Multimedia  
owner’s manual”. 
Depending on the condition of the  
road surface or the vehicle, the dis- 
tance between the vehicle and a  
parking space, etc., it may not be  
possible to assist in parking in the  
target space.
