• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skateboard, or
other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making
their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hid- den by an object, such as a cart or
umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured by dark- ness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the following,
pedestrians may not be detected by the
rear camera detection function, prevent-
ing the function from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun,
or the headlights of another vehicle,
shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the
surrounding brightness changes sud-
denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a
garage or underground parking lot
• When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an underground
parking lot
●Even though there are no pedestrians in
the detection area, some objects, such as
the following, may be detected, possibly
causing the rear camera detection func-
tion to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehi-
cle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motor- cycle
• Objects moving toward your vehicle
when backing up, such as flags or pud-
dles (or airborne matter, such as smoke,
steam, rain, or snow)
• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repairs, white lines, pedestrian
crossings or fallen leaves on the road
• Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches • Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet
road surface
• The roadside or bumps on the road
•Shadows on the road
●In some situations, such as the following,
the rear camera detection function may
operate even though there are no pedes-
trians in the detection area.
• When backing up toward the roadside or
a bump on the road
• If the vehicle is signif icantly tilted, such as
when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size othe r than specified are
installed
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate is installed near the
rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an addi- tional trim strip, is installed to the rear
bumper

the vehicle
• When water is flowing over the rear cam-
era lens
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt,
snow, ice, etc. are at tached) or scratched
• If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the emergency flashers of
another vehicle
●Situations in which the rear camera
detection function may be difficult to
notice
• The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy, the volume of
the audio system volume is high, the air
conditioning system is being used, etc.
• If the temperature in the cabin is
extremely high or low, the Center Display

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
■Parking Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians) will operate when
The function will oper ate when the PKSB
OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing
(  P.61, 62) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The rear camera sensor detects a pedes- trian behind the vehicle while backing up
and the system determines that the possi-
bility of colliding with the detected
pedestrian is high.
●Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is oper-
ating.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that an emergency brake operation is
necessary to avoid a collision with a
pedestrian.
■The Parking Support Brake function
(rear pedestrians) will stop operating
when
The function will stop operating if any of the
following conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• The pedestrian is no longer detected behind your vehicle.
●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• 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 control.
• The pedestrian is no longer detected
behind your vehicle.
■Detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear pedestrians)
The detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear pedestrians) differs
from the detection area of the RCD func-
tion ( P.216). Therefore, even if the RCD
function detects a pedestrian an alert, the
Parking Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians) may no t start operating.
■Situations in which the system may not
operate properly
●Some pedestrians, such as the following,
may not be detected by the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear pedestrians),
preventing the function from operating
properly:
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making
their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hid- den by an object, such as a cart or
umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured by dark- ness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the following,
pedestrians may not be detected by the
Parking Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians), preventing the function
from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather
(rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt,
snow, ice, etc. are at tached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle,
shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes sud-
