WARNING
●The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive carefully, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Parking Support Brake system is
designed to provide 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 com-
pletely. Additionally, even if the system
has stopped the vehicl e, it is necessary
to depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately as brake control will be canceled
after approximately 2 seconds.

when it is disabled due to operation of the
Parking Support Brake, either enable the
system again ( P.244), or turn the power
switch off and then back to ON. Addition-
ally, if the object becomes no longer in the
traveling direction of the vehicle or if the
traveling direction of the vehicle changes
(such as changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to moving
forward), the system will be re-enabled
automatically.
■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

●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.
●The surrounding area of the sensors on
the bumper may be dirty, or a sensor may
be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. In this
case, remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc. from
the sensor or its surrounding area on the
bumper to return the system to a normal
state. At a low temperature, a warning
message may be displayed or an object
may not be detected due to freezing of
the sensor. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
●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-
tialize the system. ( P.247)

WARNING
■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 (static objects)
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake (static objects) 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
