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 a collision
with a detected object is high,
a warning operates 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 automati-
cally applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce 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 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.)

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (static object) will operate
when
The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or
flashing ( →P.83, 84) and all of the fol- lowing conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or less.
WARNING
●Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-rounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
●If the area around a radar sensor is subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehi-cle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of
the vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause the system to not operate or
operate unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) oper- ates unnecessarily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) oper-ates unnecessarily, such as at a rail-
road crossing, brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-onds, allowing you to proceed forward
and leave the area, brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brake pedal. Depressing the acceler-
ator pedal after brake control is can- celed will allow you to proceed forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water
or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the sensors directly, as doing
so may cause a sensor to malfunc- tion.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-
port Brake
In the following situations, disable the Parking Support Brake as the system
may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●When 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
●When using an automatic car wash

Driving
• There is a static object in the traveling
direction of the vehicle and 2 to 4 m (6
to 13 ft.) away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger-than-normal
brake operation is necessary to avoid
a collision.
●Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is
operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
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:
●Engine output restriction control
• 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 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 2 to 4 m
(6 to 13 ft.) away from the vehicle or in
the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
→P. 2 5 4
■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.245)
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 cloth, snow, and other materi-
als that are poor reflectors of ultra-
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
■Toyota parking assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park-
ing assist-sensor buzzer is enabled or
not (→P.243), if the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) is enabled
(→P.252), the front or rear sensors
detect an object and brake control is
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.
