■If the Parking Support Brake has oper-
ated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of
the Parking Support Brake, the Parking
Support Brake will be disabled and the
PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate. If the
Parking Support Brake operates unneces-
sarily, brake control can be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal or waiting for
approximately 2 seconds for it to automati-
cally be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be
operated by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
■Re-enabling the Park ing Support Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake
when it has been disabled due to system
operation, perform any of the following
operations. At this time, the PKSB OFF indi-
cator will turn off. ( P.67)
●Turn the PKSB system on ( P.219)
●Turn the power switch off, and then back
to ON mode
●Shift the shift lever to P
●Drive with no operation targets in the
traveling direction of the vehicle
●Change the traveling direction of the
vehicle*
*
: Except the Parking Support Brake func- tion (rear pedestrian)
■If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”
is displayed on th e multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indicator is
flashing
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of
the Parking Support Brake, the Parking
Support Brake will be disabled and the
PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate.
●A sensor may be cove red with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to
normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at
low temperatures, a warning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not
be able to detect an object. Once the ice
melts, the system wi ll return to normal.
●If this message is displayed only when the
shift lever is in R, the rear camera lens
may be dirty. Clean the camera lens. If
this message is disp layed when the shift
lever is in any position other than R, a sen-
sor on the front or rear bumper may be
dirty. Clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.
●If this message continues to be displayed
even after cleaning the sensor, or is dis-
played even though the sensor is clean,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
●Initialization may not have been per-
formed after a 12-volt battery terminal
was disconnected and reconnected. Ini-

2244-5. Using the driving support systems
*:If equipped
This function will operate in situations such as the following if an object is detected
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is
depressed late
Parking Support Brake function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the traveling direction of
the vehicle and the system determines that a collision may occur due to the
vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal oper-
ation, the vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong shift posi-
tion 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.

OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing
(  P.66, 67) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that a stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The Parking Support Brake determines
that an immediate brake operation is nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
■The Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) will stop operating when

WARNING
●If the area around a radar sensor is
subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus 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 unnec-
essarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) operates unnecessar-
ily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-
ing, brake control w ill be canceled 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 for-
ward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors 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 sen-
sor 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

■Detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking
assist. ( P.208) Therefore, even if the intu-
itive parking assist detects an object and
provides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not start
operating.
■Objects that the Parking Support Brake
function (static obje cts) may not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect cer-
tain objects, such as the following:
●Pedestrian

that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic
waves
●Objects which are not perpendicular to
the ground, are not perpendicular to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, are
uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes
and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to the
bumper
■Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking
assist system is enabled or not ( P.206), if
the Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) is enabled ( P.219), the front or
rear sensors detect an object and brake control is performed, the intuitive parking
assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver
of the approximate distance to the object.
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
