●Influence from the weather
• The area around the sensor is extremely hot or cold
• The wind is strong
• Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to the sensor (if removed, the system returns to
normal)
• Heavy rain or water strikes the vehicle
• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a
sand storm
●Influence from other sonic waves
• An ultrasonic wave source is nearby, such as the horn or clearance sonar of another
vehicle, a vehicle detector, a motorcycle
engine or the air brake of a large vehicle
• Electronic components (such as a backlit
license plate (especially fluorescent
types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wire-
less antenna) are inst alled near the sen-
sors
●Changes in the vehicle
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount
• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to the carried load (the
nose tilts up or down)
• The direction of the sensor has deviated due to a collision or other impact
■When “Parking Support Brake Unavail-
able” is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display and the PKSB OFF indicator
flashes
●Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to the sensor. If this occurs, remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return
the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be dis-
played at low temperatures due to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor
may not detect static objects. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
●If this message is shown even after
removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
●System initialization may not have been
performed after remova
l and installation
of the 12-volt battery. Perform system ini-
tialization.
■When removing and installing the 12-
volt battery
The system needs to be initialized.
The system can be init ialized by driving the
vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or
more at a speed of approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) or higher.
■When “Parking Support Brake Mal-
function Visit Your Dealer” is displayed
on the multi-information display, the
PKSB OFF indicator flashes and the
buzzer sounds
The system may not be operating properly.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
WARNING
■In order for the system to operate
properly
Make sure to observe the following pre-
cautions regarding the sensors
(  P.251). Failure to observe these pre-
cautions may cause the sensors not to
operate properly, and may result in an
unexpected accident.
●Do not perform work such as modifi-
cation, disassembly or painting
●Only perform replacements using
genuine parts

When the hybrid system output restric-
tion control or brake control operates,
the buzzer sounds and a message is
displayed on the multi-information dis- play, head-up display and naviga-
tion/multimedia system screen to alert
the driver.
Depending on the situat
ion, output restric-
tion control operates to either limit accel-
eration or restrict output as much as
possible.
■Hybrid system output restriction
control is operating (acceleration
limitation control)
■Hybrid system output restriction
control is operating (control to
restrict output as much as possible)
●Do not subject the area around the
sensors to any impacts
●Do not damage the sensors, and
always keep them clean
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or incline of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from
correctly detecting static objects, may
cause the system not operate, or may
cause the system to operate unnecessar-
ily.
NOTICE
■Preventing unnecessary operation
In the following situations, turn the Park-
ing Support Brake func tion (for static
objects) OFF. The system may operate
even though there is no possibility of a
collision.
●A chassis roller, chassis dynamo, free
roller or similar equipment is being
used for an inspection, etc.
●The vehicle is being loaded onto a ship,
truck or other transport vessel
●The suspension has been lowered or
tires that have a different size than the
genuine tires are equipped
●The height of the vehicle has drastically
changed due to the carried load (the
nose tilts up or down).
●A towing hook is installed
