WARNING
■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 malfunctioning.
● 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.
NOTICE
■ When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
● Intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a beep sounds when
no obstacles are detected.
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
● If the bumper collides with something.
● If the display shows up and remains on without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

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.

system operates.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function is on.
● The vehicle speed is approxima tely 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
● There is an obstacle in the traveling direction of the vehicle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
● The system determined that a stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion was necessary to avoid a collision.
Brake control
● Hybrid system output restricti on control is being performed.
● The system determined that a n emergency brake operation was
necessary to av oid a collision.
■Operation ending conditions
In any of the following situatio ns, the system stops operating.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● The collision became a voidable with normal brake operation.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
Brake control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● Approximately 2 seconds elapsed after the vehicle was stopped
by brake control.
● The brake pedal was depressed after the vehicle was stopped by
brake control.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).

Driving
When the hybrid system output restriction control or brake cont rol
operates, the buzzer sounds and a message is displayed on the m ulti-
information display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, output restriction control operates to either
limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.

■Sensor detection range
The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function diffe rs from the
detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( P. 445)
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. 453), 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. 447
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
P. 448
■ 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. 450
■ 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
