2424-5. Using the driving support systems
■The Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) will operate
when
The function will oper ate when the PKSB
OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing
(  P.74, 75) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or
less.
• Vehicles are approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle at a travel-
ing speed of more than approximately 5
mph (8 km/h)
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that a stronger than normal brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision with
an approaching vehicle.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that an emergency brake operation is
necessary to avoid a collision with an
approaching vehicle.
■The Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) will stop oper-
ating when
The function will stop operating if any of the
following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with
normal brake operation.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from
the right or left at the rear of the vehicle.
●Brake control • The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed

• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by brake control.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing vehicles)
 P.233
■Detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles) dif-
fers from the detection area of the RCTA
function ( P.224). Therefore, even if the
RCTA function detects a vehicle and pro-
vides an alert, the Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing vehicles) may not
start operating.
■Conditions under which the Parking
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:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking space
next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions
●Vehicles which suddenly accelerate or
decelerate near your vehicle
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles
and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
WARNING
●If the area around a rear radar sensor
is subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Observe the rear radar sensor han-
dling precautions. ( P.210)

Driving
etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the parking
spaces next to your vehicle*
●Objects which are extremely close to a
radar sensor*
●Vehicles are approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle at a travel-
ing speed of less than approximately 5
mph (8 km/h)
●Vehicles are approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle at a travel-
ing speed of more than approximately 15
mph (24 km/h)
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
■RCTA buzzer
Regardless of whether the RCTA function
is enabled or not ( P.223), if the Parking
Support Brake function is enabled
(  P.230) and brake control is performed,
a buzzer will sound to notify the driver.
■Situations in which the system may
operate even though there is no possi-
bility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the
Parking Support Brake function (rear-
crossing vehicles) may operate even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When the parking space faces a street
and vehicles are being driven on the
street
●When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle
●When a vehicle passes by the side of your
vehicle
●When the distance between your vehicle
and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear of
the vehicle, is short
●When there are spinning objects near
your vehicle such as the fan of an air con-
ditioning unit
●When water is spla shed or sprayed
toward the rear bumper, such as from a
sprinkler
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
may not operate properly
In some situations, such as the following, the
radar sensors may not detect an object and
this function may not operate properly
●Stationary objects
●When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold
●If the rear bumper is covered with ice,
