■If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is
displayed on the multi-information
display (vehicles with PKSB)
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 nor-
mal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are lim-
ited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may
be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static
objects draw too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
static object detection and display
(warning buzzer sounds). Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within 25 cm (9.8 in.)
before the display is shown and the
warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer
due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning
system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of
this system due to the buzzers of
other systems.
■Conditions under which the func-
tion may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area
will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor
is frozen the sensor display may be
displayed abnormally, or objects, such
as a wall, may not be detected.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due
to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines,
air brakes of large vehicles, or other
loud noises producing ultrasonic
waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped
with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a
flooded road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■Objects which may not be properly
detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle

4185-5. Using the driving support systems
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
■Detection range of the sensorsApproximately 100 cm (3.3 ft.)
Approximately 150 cm (4.9 ft.)
Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect objects that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
■Distance display
When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distance to the
object will be displayed on the multi-information display, navigation system
(if equipped) or multimedia system (if equipped) screen. (As the distance to
the object becomes short, the distance segments may blink.)
The images may differ from that shown in the illustrations.
Approximate distance to object

■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors
are operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as the
vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of the object, the buzzer sounds
continuously
When 2 or more sensors simulta-
neously detect a static object,
the buzzer sounds for the near-
est object.
Even when the sensors are oper-
ating, the buzzer will be muted in

■Muting the buzzer sound (vehicles
with PKSB)
●Automatic buzzer mute function
Even when the sensors are operating,
the buzzer will be muted in the following
situations:
• The distance between the vehicle and
the detected object 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 detectable 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 automatically canceled in
the following situations.
• When the shift position is changed
• When the vehicle speed has reached
or exceeded a certain speed
• When the Toyota parking assist is
turned off once and turned on again
• When the power switch is turned off
once and turned to ON again

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 extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.

turned off.
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 vehicle 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 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.
●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 operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.

■Re-enabling the Parking Support
Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake
when it is disabled due to operation of
the Parking Support Brake, either
enable the system again (P.421), or
turn the power switch off and then back
to ON. 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 mov-
ing forward), the system will be re-
enabled automatically.
■If “Parking Support Brake Unavail-
able” is displayed on the multi-
information display and the PKSB
OFF indicator illuminates
●If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed simultaneously, 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 remov-
ing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-
played simultaneously, 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 nor-
mal.
*: If equipped
This function will operate in situa-
tions such as the following if an
object is detected in the traveling
direction of the vehicle.
Parking Support Brake
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.
