WARNING
■To ensure the Parking Support Brake can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 362). Failure
to do so may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an
accident.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
● Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, the system may not
operate properly due to the sensor being misaligned. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause
the system to not operate or operate unnecessarily.
■ If the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) operates unnec-
essarily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support Brake function (static ob jects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as at a railroad crossing, brake contr ol will be can-
celed after approximately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and
leave the area, brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brake
pedal. Depressing the accelerator pedal after brake control is canceled will
allow you to proceed forward and leave the area.

NOTICE
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor a rea.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
● When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the
sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction .
● When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■ When to disable the Parking Support 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 modified 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 towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow
● When using an automatic car wash

Parking Suppor t Brak e function (rear-
crossing vehicles)

: If equipped
If a radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle and the system determines that the
possibility of a collision is hi gh, this function will perform brake
control to reduce the likelihood of an impact with the approach -
ing vehicle.
Examples of system operation

3784-5. Using the driving support systems
CAMRY_U
■The Parking Support Br ake function (rear-crossing vehicles) will operate
when
The function will operate when t he PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or
flashing ( P. 362, 366) and all of the following conditions are met:
● Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the r ear of the
vehicle at a traveling speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The system determines that a stronger than normal brake operat ion is
necessary to avoid a collision with an approaching vehicle.
● Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is operating.
• The system determines that an emergency brake operation is nec essary
to avoid a collision with an approaching vehicle.
■ The Parking Support Brake functi on (rear-crossing vehicles) will stop
operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the following condit ions are met:
● Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at t he rear of the
vehicle.
● Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the vehicle is stopped by brake
control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by b rake con-
trol.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at t he rear of the
vehicle.
■ Detection area of the Parking Su pport Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking Support Brake function (rear- crossing vehi-
cles) differs from the detection area of the RCTA function ( P. 350).
Therefore, even if the RCTA function detects a vehicle and provides an alert,
the Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles) may not start
operating.

Re-enabling the Parking Suppor t Brake function (rear-crossing v ehicles)
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
when it is disabled while it is operating, either enable the Pa rking Support
Brake system again ( P. 362), or turn the engine switch off and then back to
IGNITION ON mode. When the function is disabled, the PKSB OFF i ndicator
will illuminate. ( P. 89)
If there is no longer a vehicle approaching from the right or l eft at the rear of
the vehicle when backing up, or if the traveling direction of the vehicle
changes (such as changing from backing up to moving forward), the system
will be re-enabled automatically. When the function is re-enabl ed, the PKSB
OFF indicator will turn off.
■ Conditions under which the Parki ng Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) will not detect a vehicle
The Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles) is not designed
to detect the following types of vehicles and/or objects:
● Vehicles approaching from directly behind
● Vehicles backing up in a parking space next to your vehicle
● Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationar y objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehic le
*
●Objects which are extremely close to a radar sensor*
●Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the re ar of the vehi-
cle at a traveling speed of less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
● Vehicles which are approaching from the right or left at the re ar of the vehi-
cle at a traveling speed of more than approximately 15 mph (24 km/h)
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or obj ect may
occur.
