• Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches
• Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
• Shadows on the road
●In some situations, such as the
following, the rear camera detec-
tion function may operate even
though there are no pedestrians in
the detection area.
• When backing up toward the road- side or a bump on the road
• When backing up toward an
incline/decline
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to
the rear bumper
• If the orientation of the rear cam- era has been changed
• If a towing eyelet is installed to the
rear of the vehicle
• When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are
attached) or scratched
• If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the emer-
gency flashers of another vehicle
• When a tire chains or an emer- gency tire puncture repair kit is
used
●Situations in which the rear cam-
era detection function may be diffi-
cult to notice
• The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy,
the volume of the audio system
volume is high, the air condition-
ing system is being used, etc.
• If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio
system screen may not operate
correctly.

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
probability of a collision
with a detected object or
pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the
driver to take evasive
action. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of
a collision with a detected
object or pedestrian is
extremely high, the brakes
are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of
the collision.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system,
as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and
road conditions, weather, etc., the
system may not operate.
The detection capa bilities of sen-
sors and radars are limited.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
●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 sys-
tem 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 imme-
diately as brake control will be
canceled after approximately 2
seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to
check the system operations by
intentionally driving the vehicle
into the direction of a wall, etc.
Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking
Support Brake
In the following situations, disable
the Parking Suppor t Brake as the
system may opera te even though
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●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 automatic car
washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in
a stable manner, such as when
the vehicle has been in an acci-
dent 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

The Parking Support Brake can
be enabled/disabled on the
multi-information display. All of
the Parking Support Brake func-
tions (static objects front and
rear of the vehicle, moving vehi-
cles rear of the vehicle, pedestri-
ans rear of the vehicle and static
objects around the vehicle) are
enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches
to enable/disable the parking
support brake. ( P.156)

2 Press or to select
“ PKSB” and then press

When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the driving assist informa-
tion indicator ( P.149) illuminates.
To re-enable the system when it was disabled, select on the
multi-information display, select
“ PKSB” and then On. If dis-
abled using this method, the sys-
tem will not be re-enabled by
turning the power
switch off and
then to ON.
If the EV system output restriction
control or brake control operates, a
buzzer will sound and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and multimedia sys-
tem screen, to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, EV
system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration
or restrict output as much as possi-
ble.

applied automatically to reduce
the vehicle speed. (Brake con-

■If the Parking Support Brake
has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parki ng Support Brake,
the Parking Suppor t Brake will be
disabled and the driving assist infor- mation indicator will illuminate. If the
Parking Support Brake operates
unnecessarily, brake control can be
canceled by depre
ssing the brake
pedal or waiting for approximately 2
seconds for it to automatically be
canceled. Then, the vehicle can be
operated by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Sup-
port Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support
Brake when it has been disabled
due to operation of the Parking Sup-
port Brake, either enable the system
again ( P.333), or turn the power
switch off and then back to ON.
Additionally, if a ny of the following
conditions are m et, the system will
be re-enabled automatically and the
driving assist inf ormation indicator
will turn off:
●The P shift position is selected
●The object is no longer detected in
the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle
●The traveling direction of the vehi-
cle changes*

: Except when the pedestrian rear of the vehicle operated.
■Intuitive parkin g assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whethe r the intuitive
parking assist-s ensor buzzer is
enabled or not, if the PKSB (Parking
Support Brake) system is enabled,
the front or rear s ensors detect a
static object and brake control is
performed, the intuitive parking
assist-sensor bu zzer will sound to
notify the driver o f 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

*: If equipped
This function will operate in situ-
ations such as the following if an
object is detected in the travel-
ing direction of the vehicle.
Static Objects Front
and Rear of the Vehi-
cle
*
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 vehi-
cle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental
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.

• There is a static object in the trav-
eling direction o f the vehicle and
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m)
away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger-than-nor-
mal brake operation is necessary

■Detection range
The detection range of the system differs from the detection range of
the intuitive parkin
g assist-sensor.
(  P.316)
Therefore, even if the intuitive park-
ing assist-sensor detects a static
object and provides a warning, the
PKSB (Parking Support Brake) sys-
tem may not start operating.

Moving Vehicle Rear of
the Vehicle*
If a rear radar sensor
detects a vehicle approach-
ing from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is high, this function will
perform brake control to
reduce the likelihood of an
impact with the approach-
ing vehicle.
