Parking Support Brake f
unction (static objects)
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect static objects, such as a wall,
in the detection area when driving at a low speed or backing up .
(  P. 368)
■Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
Rear radar sensors are used to detect approaching vehicles in t he
detection area behind the v ehicle when backing up. (P. 377)
PKSB (Parking Suppor t Brake)
: If equipped
The Parking Support Brake system consists of the following
functions that operate when dr iving at a low speed or backing
up, such as when parking. When the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with a detected object is high, a wa rning
operates to urge the driver to take evasive action. If the syst em
determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected
object is extremely high, the br akes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the colli -
sion.

objects and rear-crossing vehicles) are enabled/disabled simult ane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches t o enable/disable the parking support
brake. ( P. 101, 115)

To re-enable the system when it was disabled, select on the multi-infor-
mation display, select and then “On”. If disabled using this method, the
system will not be re-enabled by turning the engine switch off and then to
IGNITION ON mode.

If the engine output restriction control or brake control operates, a
buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the multi- infor-
mation display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, engine output restriction control will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possibl e.

If the Parking Support Brake det ects that a collision with an object is
possible, the engine output will be restricted to restrain any increase
in the vehicle speed. (Engine output restric tion control: See A below.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal continues to be depresse d, the
brakes will be applied automatically to reduce the vehicle spee d.
(Brake control: See B below.)

■If the Parking Support B rake function has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Parking Suppo rt Brake func-
tion, the Parking Support Brake system will be disabled and the PKSB OFF
indicator will illuminate.
■ Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake system
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake system when it is disabl ed due to
operation of the Parking Support Brake function, either enable the system
again ( P. 362), or turn the engine switch off and then back to IGNITIO N ON
mode.
Additionally, 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 “PKSB Unavailable” and “Park ing Assist Unavailable Clean Parking
Assist Sensor” are displayed on th e multi-information display and the
PKSB OFF indicator is flashing
● A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. In this case, remove the
ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal. If this
message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or s hown when
the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspec ted at your
Toyota dealer.
● A sensor may be frozen. Once the ice melts, the system will ret urn to nor-
mal.
● Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will
return to normal.

WARNING
■Limitations of the Parking Support Brake system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
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 capabilities of sensors and radars are limited. A lways drive
while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehicle.
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak-
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Parking Support Brake system
is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. How-
ever, it may not operate in some situations.
● The Parking Support Brake system 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 immediately as brake control will be
canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information dis play
and the PKSB OFF indicator is flashing
If this message is displayed immediately after the engine switch is changed
to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your surroundings.
It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before
the system returns to normal. (If the system is not return to n ormal after
driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surrounding area on the
bumpers.)

The system will operate in situat ions 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


: If equipped
If a collision with an object ma y occur due to the vehicle sud-
denly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal
operation, the vehicle moving th e unintended direction due to
the wrong shift position being se lected, or while parking or trav-
eling at low speeds, the sensors detect objects, such as a wall ,
in the traveling direction of t he vehicle, and the system opera tes
to lessen an impact with an object and reduce the resulting dam -
age.

■The Parking Support Br ake function (static objects) 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 system is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is an object in the traveling direction of the vehicle a nd approxi-
mately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away.
• The system determines that a stronger-than-normal brake operat ion is
necessary to avoid a collision.
● Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is operating.
• The system determines that an emergency brake operation is nec essary
to avoid a collision.
■ The Parking Support B rake function (static objects) will stop o perating
when
The function will stop operating if any of the following condit ions are met:
● Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake system is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• The object is no longer approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
● Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake system 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.
• The object is no longer approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■ Detection range of the Parking Support Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function diffe rs from the
detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 345)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obje ct and provides a
warning, the Parking Support Brake function may not start opera ting.
