Driving
*:If equipped
■Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) (if equipped)
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect
static objects, such as a wall, in the
detection area when driving at a low
speed or backing up. ( P.271)
■Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) (if
equipped)
Rear radar sensors are used to detect
approaching vehicles in the detection
area behind the vehicle when backing
up. ( P.274)
PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)
*
The Parking Support Brake system
consists of the following functions
that operate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a colli-
sion 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
automatically applie d to help avoid
the collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the sys-
tem
Do not overly rely on the system, as
doing so may lead to an accident.
●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 system is
not designed to stop the vehicle com-
pletely. Additionally, even if the system
has stopped the vehicl e, it is necessary
to depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately as brake control will be canceled
after approximately 2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the
system operations by intentionally
driving the vehicle into the direction of
a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Support
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 modified or
tires of a size othe r 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 towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow

2664-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-informa-
tion display. All of the Parking Support
Brake functions (static objects and
rear-crossing vehicles) are
enabled/disabled simultaneously.
Use the meter control switches to enable/disable the parking support
brake. (
P.89)
1 Press or to select .
2 Press or to select
and then press .
When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator ( P.78)
illuminates on the multi-information dis-
play.
To re-enable the system when it was dis-
abled, select on the multi-information
display, select and turn it on. If the
system is disabled, it wi ll remain off even if
the power switch is turned to ON mode
after the power switch has been turned off.
If the hybrid system output restriction con-
trol or brake control operates, a buzzer will
sound and a message wi ll be displayed on
the Center Display and multi-information
display, to alert the driver. On vehicles with
a head-up display, the head-up display (if
equipped) will displa y the same message
as the multi-information display.
Depending on the situation, hybrid system
output restriction cont rol will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict output
as much as possible.
 Hybrid system output restriction
control is operating (acceleration
restriction)
Acceleration greater than a certain
amount is restricted by the system.

WARNING
●When using automatic car washing
devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-
ble manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunc-
tioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty
manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
NOTICE
■If “Parking Support Brake Unavail-
able” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the PKSB OFF
indicator is flashing
If this message is displayed immediately
after the power switch is changed to ON
mode, operate the vehicle carefully, pay-
ing attention to your surroundings. It may
be necessary to drive the vehicle for a
certain amount of time before the system
returns to normal. (If the system is not
return to normal after driving for a while,
clean the sensors and their surrounding
area on the bumpers.)

2704-5. Using the driving support systems
■If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indicator is
flashing
If this message is displayed only when the
shift lever is in any position other than R, a
sensor on the front or rear bumper may be
dirty. Clean the sensors and their surround-
ing area on the bumpers.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable” and
“Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor” are displayed on
the multi-information display and the
PKSB OFF indicator is flashing
●A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to
normal.
If this message is shown even after
removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
●A sensor may be frozen. Once the ice
melts, the system will return to normal.
●Water may be continuo usly flowing over
the sensor surface, such as in a heavy
rain. When the system determines that it
is normal, the system will return to nor-
mal.
■If a 12-volt battery terminal has been
disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized. To initial-
ize the system, drive the vehicle straight
ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
Additionally, for vehicles with the Parking
Support Brake function, turn the steering
wheel fully to the left and right with the vehi-
cle stopped.

Driving
*: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 travelling direction of
the vehicle and the system determines that a collision ma y occur due to the
vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal oper-
ation, the vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong shift lever
position, 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.
Examples of function operation

■When the vehicle moves in the unintend ed direction due to the wrong shift
lever position

2744-5. Using the driving support systems
*:If equipped
This function will operate in situations such as the followi ng if a vehicle is detected
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When reversing, a vehicle is app roaching and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late

( P.79, 80) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• Vehicles which are ap proaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle at a
traveling speed of approximately 5 mph
Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)*
If a rear radar sensor detects a vehicle a pproaching from the right or left at the
rear of the vehicle and the system determ ines that the possibility of a collision
is high, this function will perform brak e control to reduce the likelihood of an
impact with the approaching vehicle.
