WARNING
■When using the Toyota parking
assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check
the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
●The area directly under the bum-pers is not detected.Thin posts or objects lower than the
sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected before.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-sion.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole, wireless antenna or fog
lights.

Driving
●There will be a short delay between
object detection and display. Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the dis- play is shown and the warning beep 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 buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sound-ing.
■Conditions under which the func-
tion may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur- rounding 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, water drops or ice on a sensor. (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 display may be
displayed abnormally, 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 vehicles, or other loud noises producing 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 properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro- jecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.

• Immediately after the RCTA function
is turned on • Immediately after the engine is started with the RCTA function on
• When the sensors cannot detect a vehicle due to obstructions
●Instances of the RCTA function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object may increase in the fol-
lowing situations: • When a vehicle passes by the side of your vehicle
• When the parking space faces a street and vehicles are being driven on the street
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and metal objects, such as a
guardrail, wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may reflect electrical waves toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
• When a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle

PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the follow-
ing functions that operate
when driving at a low speed or
backing up, such as when
parking. When the system
determines that a collision
with a detected object is high,
a warning operates to urge the
driver to take evasive action. If
the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with a
detected object is extremely
high, the brakes are automati-
cally applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.

The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-infor-
mation display. All of the Parking
Support Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehicles)
are enabled/disabled simultane-
ously.
Use the meter control switches to
enable/disable the parking support
brake. ( →P.94, 100)

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

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.
