●Automatic buzzer mute function
Even when the sensor s are operating,
the buzzer will be muted in the following
situations:
• The distance between the vehicle and the detected objec t does not become
shorter (except when the distance
between the vehicle and object is 30 cm [1.0 ft.] or less).
• Your vehicle is moving away from the
object. • There are no detec table objects enter-
ing the path of your vehicle.
However, if another object is detected or
the situation changes while the buzzer is
muted, the buzzer begins sounding
again.
●To mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by
pressing of the meter control
switches while a suggestion that says
mute is available is shown on the multi-
information display.
●When the mute is canceled
Mute will be automatic ally canceled in
the following situations.

PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the follow -
ing functions that operate
when driving 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 warning oper-
ates to urge the driver to take
evasive action. If the system
determines that the possibility
of a collision with a detected
object is extrem ely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli -
sion or help red uce the impact
of the collision.

WARNING
■Limitations of the Parking Sup -
port 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 vehi - cle.
Depending on the v ehicle and road
conditions, weather, etc., the system
may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors
and radars are limited. Always drive
while checking the safety of the sur- roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur -
roundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro-
vide support to lessen the severity
of collisions. However, it may not operate in som e 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.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the Parking Support Brake sys -
tem yourself such as intentionally
driving to a vehicle or wall. Depending on the situations, the
system may not ope rate properly,
possibly leading to an accident.

function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static
object, such as a wall, in the
traveling direction of the vehi -
cle and the system determines
that a collision may occur due
to the vehicle suddenly moving
forward due to an accidental
accelerator pedal operation,
the vehicle moving the unin -
tended 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.
