■Muting a buzzer temporarily
A mute button will be displayed on the
multi-information display when a vehi-
cles or an object is detected. To mute
the buzzer, press .
The buzzers for the Toyota parking
assist-sensor and RCTA function will be
muted simultaneously.
Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations:
●When the shift lever is changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a sen-sor or the system is temporarily unavailable.
●When the operating function is dis-abled manually.
●When the engine switch is turned off.
■Conditions under which the RCTA function will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function 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
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi-
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehi-
cle
●Vehicles approaching from the park-
ing spaces next to your vehicle*
*: Depending on the conditions, detec-
tion of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
■Conditions under which the RCTA function may not function correctly
●The RCTA function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situ-ations:
• When a sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its sur-rounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is covering a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or
fog • When multiple vehicles are approach-ing with only a small gap between
each vehicle • If a vehicle is approaching the rear of your vehicle rapidly
• When a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle.• When backing up on a slope with a
sharp change in grade
• When backing out of a shallow angle

WARNING
■Limitations of the Parking Sup- port Brake system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the vehi- cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors
and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro-
vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi- cator is on
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the engine switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your sur-
roundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before the system returns to
normal. (If the system does not return to normal after driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surround-
ing area on the bumpers.)

When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator (→P. 8 4 )
illuminates.
To re-enable the system when it was
disabled, select on the multi-infor-
mation display, select and then
On. If disabled using this method, the
system will not be re-enabled by turning
the engine switch off and then to ON.
If the engine output restriction con-
trol or brake control operates, a
buzzer will sound and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and head-up display
(if equipped) to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, engine out-
put restriction control will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict out-
put as much as possible.

If the Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a collision with a
detected object is possible, the
engine output will be restricted to
restrain any increase in the vehicle
speed. (Engine output restriction
control: See figure 2.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal
continues to be depressed, the
brakes will be applied automatically
to reduce the vehicle speed. (Brake

becomes no longer in the traveling
direction of the vehicle or if the traveling
direction of the vehicle changes (such
as changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to mov-
ing forward), the system will be re-
enabled automatically.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed
on the multi-information display

If the vehicle is stopped due to operation
of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-
ing Support Brake will be disabled and

●A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the
water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from
the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
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 system will return to
normal.
●If this message is displayed, a sensor
on the front or rear bumper may be
dirty. Clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.
●If this message continues to be dis-
played even after cleaning the sensor,
or is displayed even though the sen-
sor is clean, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
●Initialization may not have been per-
formed after a battery terminal was
disconnected and reconnected. Initial-
ize the system. (→P.255)
If this message continues to be dis-
played even after initialization, have
the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If a battery terminal has been dis-
connected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized. To initialize the system, drive the vehicle
straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at
a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22
mph) or more.

When the Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heat-
ing/cooling operations and fan speed of
the air conditioning system to enhance
fuel efficiency. To improve air condition-
ing performance, perform the following
operations:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode
(vehicles with an automatic air condi-
tioning system) (→P.285)
●Adjust the fan speed (→P.279, 284)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of power

If the engine switch is turned off after
driving in power mode, the drive mode
will be changed to normal mode.

■If “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s
Manual” is shown on the multi-
information display
●The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate mat-
ter accumulating.
●Engine output is restricted while the
message is displayed, however, it is
possible to drive the vehicle unless
the malfunction indicator lamp comes
on.
●Particulate matter can accumulate
more quickly if the vehicle is fre-
quently driven short trips or at low
speeds, or if the engine is regularly
started in an extremely cold environ-
ment. Excessive accumulation of par-
ticulate matter can be prevented by
periodically driving long distances
continuously with intermittent releas-
ing of the accelerator pedal, such as
when driving on highways and free-
ways.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on or “Engine Maintenance
Required Visit Your Dealer” is
shown on the multi-information
display
The amount of accumulated particulate
matter has exceeded a certain level.
Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
GPF (Gasoline Particu-
late Filter) system
*
The GPF system collects par-
ticulate matter in the exhaust
gas by using an exhaust gas
filter.
The system will operate to
regenerate the filter automati-
cally, depending on the vehicle
conditions.

pedal is depressed repeatedly, when
the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound
does not indicate that a malfunction
has occurred in any of these systems.
