Driving
• There is a static object in the traveling
direction of the vehicle and 2 to 4 m (6
to 13 ft.) away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger-than-normal
brake operation is necessary to avoid
a collision.
●Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is
operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that an immediate brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
■The Parking Support Brake func-
tion (static objects) will stop oper-
ating when
The function will stop operating if any of
the following conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled.
• The system determines that the colli-
sion has become avoidable with nor-
mal brake operation.
• The static object is no longer 2 to 4 m
(6 to 13 ft.) away from the vehicle or in
the traveling direction of the vehicle.
●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have
elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped by brake control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after
the vehicle is stopped by brake con-
trol.
• The static object is no longer 2 to 4 m
(6 to 13 ft.) away from the vehicle or in
the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
→P. 2 5 4
■Detection range of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects) dif-
fers from the detection range of the
Toyota parking assist-sensor. (→P.245)
Therefore, even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor detects an object and pro-
vides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not
start operating.
■Objects that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect
certain objects, such as the following:
●Pedestrian
●Cotton cloth, snow, and other materi-
als that are poor reflectors of ultra-
sonic waves
●Objects which are not perpendicular
to the ground, are not perpendicular to
the traveling direction of the vehicle,
are uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences,
ropes and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to
the bumper
●Sharply-angled objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
■Toyota parking assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park-
ing assist-sensor buzzer is enabled or
not (→P.243), if the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) is enabled
(→P.252), the front or rear sensors
detect an object and brake control is
performed, the Toyota parking assist-
sensor buzzer will sound to notify the
driver of the approximate distance to the
object.
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may operate even if there
is no possibility of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.

sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems
are operating.
