to ON. Additionally, if the object
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
and the PKSB OFF indicator is on
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation
of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-
ing Support Brake will be disabled and
the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate.
●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.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
This function will operate in situations such as the following if an object is
detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late
Parking Support Brake function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the traveling
direction of the vehicle and the system determines that a collision
may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an
accidental accelerator pedal operation, the vehicle moving the unin-
tended direction due to the wrong shift lever being selected, or
while parking or traveling at low speeds, the system will operate to
lessen the impact with the detected static object and reduce the
resulting damage.

■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (static object) will operate
when
The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or
flashing ( →P.83, 84) and all of the fol- lowing conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or less.
WARNING
●Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-rounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
●If the area around a radar sensor is subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a sensor malfunction. Have the vehi-cle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■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 unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) oper- ates unnecessarily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) oper-ates unnecessarily, such as at a rail-
road crossing, brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-onds, allowing you to proceed forward
and leave the area, brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brake pedal. Depressing the acceler-
ator pedal after brake control is can- celed will allow you to proceed forward 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 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 malfunc- tion.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-
port 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 modi-fied 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
●When equipment that may obstruct
a sensor is installed, such as a tow- ing eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle
carrier, or snow plow
●When using an automatic car wash
