Parking Suppor t Brake function
The system operates in the follo wing situations when an obstacle is
detected in the traveling d irection of the vehicle.
◆The vehicle is driven at low speeds and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed too late
◆The accelerator pedal is depressed too far
: If equipped
When a collision may occur with an obstacle while parking or
traveling at low speeds, when the vehicle suddenly moves for-
ward due to mistaken accelerator pedal operation, or when the
vehicle moves due to the wrong shift position being selected,
the sensors detect obstacles to the front or rear in the travel ing
direction of the vehicle, and the system operates to lessen
impact with obstacles such as walls, and reduce resulting dam-
age.

■Sensor detection range
The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function diffe rs from the
detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 362)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an obst acle and pro-
vides a warning, the Parking Support Brake function may not sta rt operating.
■ System operation
When the vehicle is stopped by system operation, the Parking Support Brake
function stops and the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates.
■ System recovery
When the Parking Support Brake function is stopped by system op eration
and you would like to resume operation, either turn the Parking Support
Brake function on again ( P. 372), or turn the power switch off and then back
on. Furthermore, when the vehicle moves with an obstacle no lon ger in the
traveling direction of the vehicle, or when the traveling direc tion of the vehicle
changes (such as when switching from moving forward to backing up, and
vice versa), system operation automatically resumes.
■ Obstacles not detected by the sensors
The following obstacles may not be detected by the sensors.
●Objects such as people, cloth and snow, that are difficult for sonic waves to
reflect off of. (In particular, people may also not be detected depending on
the type of clothing they are wearing.)
● Objects not perpendicular with the ground, objects not at a rig ht angle to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, uneven objects or waving objects
● Low objects
● Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
● Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate properly
P. 365
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
P. 366
■ In the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake function m istakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere
Even in the unlikely event that the Parking Support Brake funct ion mistakenly
operates at a crossing or elsewhere, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the area. Fur-
thermore, brake control is also canceled when the brake pedal i s depressed.
Depressing the accelerator pedal again allows you to proceed forward and
leave the area.
■ When removing and instal ling the 12-volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be initialized by driving the vehicle straight a head for 5 sec-
onds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or hi gher.

■When “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator flashes
●Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove
the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be displayed at low temperatures du e to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor may not detect obstacles. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
■ When “PKSB Malfunction Visit You r Dealer” is displayed on the multi-
information display, the PKSB OFF indicator flashes and the buz zer
sounds
The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not rely solely upon the system. Relying solely upon the system may
lead to an unexpected accident.
● Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The Parking
Support Brake function can provide support to lessen the severity of colli-
sions. However, it may not operate depending on the situation.
● The Parking Support Brake function is not a system designed to com-
pletely stop the vehicle. Furthermore, even if the Parking Support Brake
function is able to stop the vehicle, brake control is canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, so depress the brake pedal immediately.
● It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by int entionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never at tempt such
actions.

WARNING
■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
● 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 vehi-
cle has been in an accident 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
● When tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
 P. 368
■ Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or incli ne of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from correctly detecting obstac les, may
cause the system not operate, or may cause the system to operat e unnec-
essarily.
■ If the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) operates unnec-
essarily, such as at a railroad crossing
 P. 377
■ Notes when washing the vehicle

NOTICE
■Preventing sensor malfunctions
● If the area around a sensor is subjected to an impact, equipment may not
operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer.
● When using a high-pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray
water directly on the sensors. The sensors may not function pro perly if
subjected to an impact from strong water pressure.
● When using steam to wash the vehicle, do not direct steam too c lose to
the sensors. The sensors may not function properly if subjected to steam.

When the vehicle is almost entire ly within the target parking spot,
a high-pitched beep is emitted and the stop display is shown on
the display, stop the vehicle.
This completes the para llel parking assist mode.
● After stopping, feel free to maneuver the vehicle to reach the
desired parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle direct ly and by using the mirrors.
■Parallel parking assist mode operating conditions
●In order to operate the parallel parking assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at
a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly stopped) parallel t o the road (or
shoulder) while maintaining a distance of approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) to any
parked vehicles.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approxima tely
19 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
● The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible ( P. 414), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be det ermined.
Therefore, the parallel parking assist mode cannot be operated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking spa ce, the par-
allel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
● Guidance will continue until the vehicle speed meets or exceeds approxi-
mately 19 mph (30 km/h) or the function is turned off using the S -APGS
switch.
■ Timing for pressing the S-APGS switch
In the following cases, the assist mode may also operate during the steps
taken to park using the parallel parking assist mode. However, in these
cases, conduct parking procedures according to the information on the multi-
information display.
● In step the S-APGS switch is pressed after already passing ove r the tar-
get parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step , pressing the S-APGS swi tch 1 time
while the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel P arking” and
proceed directly to step .
● The vehicle is moved up to the position in step without the S- APGS
switch being pressed. Then the S-APGS switch is pressed after having
changed the shift position to R.

When the vehicle has nearly
reached the take-off point, a
high-pitched beep is emitted
and assist control finishes.
From there, grasp the steer-
ing wheel and proceed for-
ward.
■Exit parallel parking assist mode
●During assist control, if the driver determines that they are at a position
where take-off is possible and operates the steering wheel, assist control is
stopped at that position.
● Assist control cannot be used if there are no parked vehicles a head, or if the
gap between the front of your vehicle and the vehicle parked ahead is too
large.
● When using the exit parallel parking assist mode, the assist mo de may not
be able to operate depending on the surrounding environment.

Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel without applying any force, direc tly
confirm the safety of the area to the rear and around the vehic le
slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, steps to may
need to be repeated.
When the vehicle is almost entire ly within the target parking spot,
a high-pitched beep is emitted and the stop display is shown on
the display ( P. 385), stop the vehicle.
This completes the back-in parking assist mode.
● For safety, the buzzer sounds slightly before the vehicle is
completely entered within the target parking spot. Further-
more, at that point, system operation will also finish. Firmly
hold the steering wheel and slowly back up while adjusting
your speed by depressing the brake pedal to reach the desired
parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle direct ly and by using the mirrors.
■Back-in parking assist m ode operating conditions
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped).
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped). Come to a full stop so tha t the center of
the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle, and t hen operate
the S-APGS switch.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approxima tely
19 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
● The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible ( P. 414), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be det ermined.
Therefore, the back-in parking assist mode cannot be operated.

■Tips for using the back-in parking assist mode ●Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, if there is not enough space
in front of the vehicle required to perform
the parking operation, the target parking
spot may not be reachable.
Intended parking spot
Wall
● Leave a gap of approximately 3.3 ft.
(1 m) from any parked vehicles and
approach the target parking spot. If the
gap between your vehicle and any
parked vehicles is too large, the front
side sensors and rear side sensors may
not be able to detect the parked vehi-
cles.
● Stop so that the center of the target
parking spot is perpendicular to the vehi-
cle. Furthermore, only push the S-APGS
switch when the vehicle is at a complete
stop.
NOTICE
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the back-in park-
ing assist mode.
● When parking in a narrow space, the vehicle will come close to adjacent
vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the ve hicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehicle alignment as necessary.
