mines that an immediate brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
■The Parking Support Brake func-
tion (static objects) will stop oper-
ating when
The function will stop operating if any of
the following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-
trol
• The Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled.
• The system determines that the colli-
sion has become avoidable with nor-
mal brake operation.
• The static object is no longer approxi-
mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from
the vehicle or in the traveling direction
of the vehicle.
●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have
elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped by brake control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after
the vehicle is stopped by brake con-
trol.
• The static object is no longer approxi-
mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from
the vehicle or in the traveling direction
of the vehicle.
■Detection range of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects) dif-
fers from the detection range of the
Toyota parking assist-sensor. (P.418)
Therefore, even if the Toyota parking
assist-sensor detects an object and pro-
vides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not
start operating.
■Objects that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect
certain objects, such as the following:
●Pedestrian
●Cotton, snow, and other materials that
are poor reflectors of sonic waves
●Objects which are not perpendicular
to the ground, are not perpendicular to
the traveling direction of the vehicle,
are uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences,
ropes and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to
the bumper
●Sharply-angled objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may not operate
When the shift lever is in N
■Toyota parking assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park-
ing assist-sensor function is enabled or
not (P.415), if the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) is enabled
(P.421), the front or rear sensors
detect an object and brake control and
hybrid system output restriction control
are performed, the Toyota parking
assist-sensor buzzer will sound to notify
the driver of the approximate distance to
the object.
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may operate even if there
is no possibility of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●Vehicle surroundings
• When driving on a narrow road

right or left at the rear of the vehicle at
a traveling speed of more than
approximately 8 km/h (5 mph)
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger than normal
brake operation is necessary to avoid
a collision with an approaching vehi-
cle.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction con-
trol is operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that an emergency brake oper-
ation is necessary to avoid a collision
with an approaching vehicle.
■The Parking Support Brake func-
tion (rear-crossing vehicles) will
stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of
the following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-
trol

vehicle.
■Detection area of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear-crossing vehi-
cles) differs from the detection area of
the RCTA function (P.412). Therefore, even if the RCTA function detects a
vehicle and provides an alert, the Park-
ing Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) may not start operating.
■Conditions under which the Park-
ing Support Brake function (rear-
crossing vehicles) will not detect a
vehicle
The Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) is not designed
to detect the following types of vehicles
and/or objects:

■ECB (Electronically Con-
trolled Brake System)
The electronically controlled sys-
tem generates braking force corre-
sponding to the brake operation
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol+)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering per-
formance.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

■E-Four (Electronic On-Demand
AWD system)
Automatically switches from front
wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable
handling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will
switch to AWD are when cornering,
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers
automatically flash to alert the vehi-
cle behind.
■The Secondary Collision
Brake (if equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/ABS/Trailer
Sway Control systems are operat-
ing
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC/ABS/Trailer Sway Control
systems are operating.

met, the hill-start assist control will oper-
ate:
●The shift lever is in a position other
than P or N (when starting off for-
ward/backward on an upward incline).
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The accelerator pedal is not
depressed.
●The parking brake is not engaged.
■Automatic system cancelation of
hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in
any of the following situations:
●The shift lever is shifted to P or N.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed.
●The parking brake is engaged.
●No more than 2 seconds have
elapsed after the brake pedal is
released.
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer
Sway Control, TRC and hill-start
assist control systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started or just
after the vehicle begins to move. This
sound does not indicate that a mal-
function has occurred in any of these
systems.
●Any of the following conditions may
occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also
after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■ECB operating sound
ECB operating sound may be heard in
the following cases, but it does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred.
●Operating sound heard from the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is operated.
●Motor sound of the brake system
heard from the front part of the vehicle
when the driver’ door is opened.
●Operating sound heard from the
engine compartment when one or two
minutes passed after the stop of the
hybrid system.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake
system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC,
Trailer Sway Control and VSC sys-
tems

WARNING
●When driving over roads with pot- holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/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.
■Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
●Do 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.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre-quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike 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.
■When 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.
■When 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.
■Replacing 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 and VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems will not function cor-rectly 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.
■Handling 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.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv-ing environment, the Trailer Sway
Control system may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
