4-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-infor-
mation display. All of the Parking
Support Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehicles)
are enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches to
enable/disable the parking support
brake. ( →P.94, 100)
1 Press / (vertical display)
or / (horizontal display)
of the meter control switch to
select .
2 Press / (vertical display)
or / (horizontal display)
of the meter control switch to
select and then press .
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.
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi- cator is on
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the engine 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.)

your vehicle such as the fans of an air conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from a sprinkler
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-cross- ing vehicles) may not operate prop-erly
In some situations, such as the follow- ing, the radar sensors may not detect an object and this function may not operate
properly

*: If equipped
Each time the switch is pressed,
the system changes between
power mode, normal mode, and
ECO drive mode.
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic per-
formance. Suitable for normal driving.
2 Power mode
Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration.
Making it suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driv-
ing on roads with many curves.
When the power mode is selected,
power mode indicator comes on.
3 Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-
friendly manner and improve fuel econ-
omy through moderate throttle charac-

■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.
NOTICE
■To prevent the GPF system from not operating properly
●Do not use fuel other than the spec-ified type
●Do not modify the exhaust pipes
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.

assist systems

4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv- ing at high speed on wet or slick
roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS
is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten
the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially
in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●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 conditions 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/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 Trailer Sway Control
and VSC systems will not function 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.
