• Devices for detecting vehicles, such as traffic lights, devices for
detecting traffic congestion, or
devices for detecting empty
spaces in parking areas
• Railroad tracks
• H-shaped steel
• When there are vehicles on both sides, or there is a vehicle that
resembles this vehicle
●Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the
system will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
• Strong wind is blowing
●Other sonic wave sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of other vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic compo-
nent, such as a backlit license
plate (especially fluorescent type),
fog lights, fender pole or wireless
antenna is insta lled near a sensor
●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has
been changed due t o a collision or
other impact
■Situations in wh ich the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may not operate prop-
erly
In some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, this functi on may not oper-
ate properly.
●Weather
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the
system will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
• A sensor is froz en. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
●Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle
and a detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle,
motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
cuts in front of the vehicle or runs
out from the side of the vehicle
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.

*: If equipped
This function will operate in situ-

function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
*
If a rear radar sensor
detects a vehicle approach-
ing from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is high, this function will
perform brake control to
reduce the likelihood of an
impact with the approach-
ing vehicle.
Examples of function
operation

3765-5. Using the driving support systems
●When the distance between your
vehicle and metal objects, such as
a guardrail, wall, sign, or parked
vehicle, which may reflect electri-
cal waves toward the rear of the
vehicle, is short
●When there are spinning objects
near your vehicle such as the fan
of an air conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or
sprayed toward t he 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 fol-
lowing, 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 sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the rear bumper is covered with
ice, snow, dirt, etc.
●When it is raining heavily or water
strikes the vehicle
●When the detecti on area of a
radar sensor is obstructed by an
adjacent vehicle
●If the vehicle is s ignificantly tilted
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●If the front of the v ehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load
●If a sticker or an electronic compo-
nent, such as a backlit license
plate (especially fluorescent type),
fog lights, fender pole or wireless
antenna is installed near a radar
sensor
●If the orientation of a radar sensor
has been changed
●When multiple vehicles are
approaching with only a small gap
between each vehicle
●If a vehicle is approaching the rear
of your vehicle rapidly
●Situations in which the radar sen-
sor may not detect a vehicle
• When a vehicle approaches from
the right or left at the rear of the
vehicle while you are turning while
backing up
• When turning while backing up
• When backing out of a shallow angle parking spot
