■The system can be operated
when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is
on.
●The vehicle speed is less than
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The shift lever is in a position
other than P.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
A sensor may be co vered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to
return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor
at low temperatures, a warning
message may be displayed or the
sensor may not be able to detect an
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed
even if the sensor i s clean, there
may be a sensor malfunction. Have
the vehicle insp ected by your
Toyota dealer.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be continuously flowing
over the sensor surface, such as in
a heavy rain. When the system
determines that it is normal, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the
detection distance may shorten,
or detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if
static objects draw too close to the
WARNING
●A backlit license plate is
installed.
■When using the intuitive park-
ing assist
In the following situations, the
system may not function correctly
due to a sensor mal function, etc.
Have the vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist
operation display flashes or
shows continuously, and a
buzzer sounds when no objects
are detected.
●If the area around a sensor col-
lides with something, or is sub-
jected to strong impact.
●If the bumper or grille collides
with something.
●If the display flashes or is dis-
played continuously and a
buzzer does not sound, except
when the mute function has
been turned on.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sens or to malfunc-
tion.

sensor.
• There will be a short delay
between static object detection
and display (warning buzzer
sounds). Even at low speeds,
there is a possibilit y that the object
will come within approximately
11.9 in. (30 cm) before the display
is shown and the warning buzzer
sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the
sound of this system due to the
buzzers of other systems.
■Conditions under which the
function may not function cor-
rectly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen-
sor. (Cleaning the sensors will
resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnor-
mally, or objects, such as a wall,
may not be detected.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy
due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, or other l oud noises produc-
ing ultrasonic waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped
with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount
of water, such as when driving on
a flooded road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall
or curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
■Objects which may not be prop-
erly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular atte ntion to the fol-
lowing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a collision
with a detected object is
high, a warning operates to
urge the driver to take eva-
sive action. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a collision with a
detected object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the
collision.

Brake) system
WARNING
■Limitations of the Parking
Support Brake system
Do not overly rely on the system,
as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and
road conditions, weather, etc., the
system may n ot operate.
The detection cap abilities of sen-
sors and radars are limited.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
carefully, taking care to observe
your surroundings. The Parking
Support Brake system is
designed to provide support to
lessen the severity of collisions.
However, it may not operate in
some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake sys-
tem is not designed to stop the
vehicle comple tely. Addition-
ally, even if the system has
stopped the vehicle, it is neces-
sary to depress the brake pedal
immediately as brake control
will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the Parking Support
Brake system yourself.
Depending on the situations,
the system may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident.

3204-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can
be enabled/disabled on the
screen of the multi-information
display. All of the Parking Sup-
port Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehi-
cles) are enabled/disabled
simultaneously. (P.112)
When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.95) illuminates on the multi-
information display.
To re-enable the system, select
on the multi-inform ation display,
select and turn it on.
If the system is disabled, it will
remain off even if the power switch
is turned to ON after the power
switch has been turned off.
If the hybrid system output
restriction control or brake con-
trol operates, a buzzer will
sound and a message will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display or audio system
screen to alert the driver.
On vehicles with head-up dis-
play, the head-up display will
display the same message as
the multi-information display.
Depending on the situation, hybrid
system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration
or restrict output as much as possi-
ble.
 Hybrid system output restric-
tion control is operating
(acceleration restriction)
Acceleration greater than a certain
amount is restric ted by the system.

WARNING
●Do not replace a sensor with a
part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area to a strong
impact.
●Do not damage the sensors,
and always keep them clean.
●If the area around a radar sen-
sor is subjected to an impact,
the system may not operate
properly due to a sensor mal-
function. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclina-
tion of the vehicle may prevent
the sensors from detecting
objects correctly or cause the sys-
tem to not operate or operate
unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as
at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects)
operates unnecessarily, such as
at a railroad cross ing, brake con-
trol will be cancele d after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to
proceed forward and leave the
area, brake control can also be
canceled by depressing the brake
pedal. Depressing the accelera-
tor pedal after brake control is
canceled will allow you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
■When to disable the Parking
Support Brake
In the following situations, disable
the Parking Suppor t Brake as the
system may opera te even though
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●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 other
than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is
raised or lowered due to the
carried load

port Brake function (static
objects)
 P.322
■Detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects)
The detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) differs from the detection
range of the intuiti ve parking assist.
(  P.313) Therefore, even if the
intuitive parking assist detects an
object and provides a warning, the
Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) may not start operat-
ing.
■Objects that the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static
objects) may not detect
The sensors may not be able to
detect certain objects, such as the
following:
●Pedestrian
●Cotton, snow, and other materials
that are poor re flectors of sonic
waves
●Objects which are not perpendicu-
lar to the ground, are not perpen-
dicular to the traveling direction of
the vehicle, are uneven or are
waving
●Low objects
