3805-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the screen
of the multi-information display. All
of the Parking Support Brake func-
tions (static objects and rear-cross-
ing vehicles) are enabled/disabled
simultaneously. ( P.184)
When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.169) illuminates on the multi-infor-
mation display.
To re-enable the system, select on
the multi-information display, select
and turn it on.
If the system is disabled, it will remain
off even if the power switch is turned to
ON after the power switch has been
turned off.
WARNING
OWhen loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport ves-
sel.
OIf the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed.
OIf the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
OWhen equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow.
OWhen using automatic car washing devices.
OIf the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning.
OWhen the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road.
OWhen the tires are not properly
inflated.
OWhen the tires are very worn.
OWhen tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture

NOTICE
QIf “Parking Support Brake Unavailable” is displayed on the
multi-information display and the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the power switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your sur-
roundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before the system returns to
normal. (If the system does not return to normal after driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surround-
ing area on the bumpers.)
Enabling/Disabling the Park-
ing Support Brake

3965-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
OWhen driving over bumps in the road
OWhen driving over roads with pot-holes or uneven surfaces
QTRC/VSC may not operate effec-tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-pery road surfaces, even if the
TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in condi-tions where stability and power may
be lost.
QActive Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
ODo not overly rely on Active Corner- ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving on slippery road surfaces.
OWhen Active Cornering Assist fre-quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
QHill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
ODo not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
OUnlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con- trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
QWhen the TRC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway Control is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
QWhen the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-tions. As these are the systems to
help ensure vehicle stability and driv- ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control sys-
tems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if
VSC is turned off or experiences a malfunction.
QReplacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems will not func-
tion correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
QHandling of tires and the suspen-
sion
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
