the brake pedal is not depressed, or
is depressed late
Parking Support Brake func-
tion (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object,
such as a wall, in the travelling
direction of the vehicle and the sys-
tem determines that a collision may
occur due to the vehicle suddenly
moving forward due to an acciden-
tal accelerator pedal operation, the
vehicle moving the unintended
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.
