WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning light not come on
when you start the hybrid system, this
could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

■The Parking Support Brake function
(static object) will operate when
The function will operate 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.
• There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that a stronger-than-normal brake oper-
ation is necessary to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control
is operating.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that an immediate brake operation is
necessary to avoid a collision.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects)
 P.233
■The Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) will stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the
following conditions are met:

WARNING
■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 unnec-
essarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) operates unnecessar-
ily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-
ing, brake control w ill be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you
to proceed forward and leave the area,
brake control can also be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal. Depressing
the accelerator pedal after brake control
is canceled will allow you to proceed for-
ward 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 mal-
functioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the vehi-
cle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Support
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 modified or
tires of a size othe r 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 towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,
or snow plow
●When using an automatic car wash
