The distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when 
parallel  parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by 
the sensors and communicated via the multi-information display 
and  a  buzzer.  Always  check  the  surrounding  area  when  using
this system.

parking assist-sensor OFF indicator ( P. 161) illuminates.  
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain O FF until it 
is turned ON again via the   screen of the multi-information dis play. 
(The system will not automatically turn ON even when the hybrid  system 
is restarted.)
When  the  sensors  detect  an  objects,  such  as  a  wall,  a  graphic  i s 
shown on the multi-information display depending on the positio n and

■Buzzer operation and distance to an object 
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating. 
● The  buzzer  beeps  faster  as  the  vehicle  approaches  an  object. 
When  the  vehicle  comes  within  approximately  30  cm  (1.0  ft.)  of 
the object, the buzzer sounds continuously. 
● When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer 
sounds for the nearest object. If one or more objects come with in 
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of the vehicle, the buzzer will r epeat 
a long tone, followed by fast beeps. 
● Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding, 
if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object doe s 
not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically.  
(However,  if  the  distance  between  the  vehicle  and  object  is 
30 cm (1.0 ft.) or less, this function will not operate.)
■Adjusting the buzzer volume 
The  buzzer  volume  can  be  adjusted  on  the  multi-information  dis- 
play.  
The  volume  of  buzzers  for  the  Toyota  parking  assist-sensor  and 
RCTA function (if equipped) will be adjusted simultaneously.  
Use the meter control switches to change settings. ( P. 171) 
Press “ ” or “” to select  . 
Press “ ” or “” to select “Vehicle Settings”, and then press  . 
Press  “ ”  or  “”  to  select    or  ,  and 
select the volume and then press  .
Each time the switch is  pressed, the volume level will change b etween 
1, 2 and 3.

■Muting a buzzer 
A  mute  button  will  be  displayed  on  the  multi-information  displa y 
when an object is detected. To mute the buzzer, press  .  
The  buzzers  for  the  Toyota  parking  assist-sensor  and  RCTA  func- 
tion (if equipped) 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 the operating function is temporarily canceled. 
● When the operating function is disabled manually. 
● When the power switch is turned off.

the sensors cannot detect objects
that are extremely close to the 
vehicle.

■The system can be operated when 
● The power switch is in ON mode. 
● Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on. 
● The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph). 
● A shift lever other than P is selected. 
● Vehicles  with  side  sensors:  Steering  wheel  is  turned  approximately  90°  or 
more 
■ If “Parking assist unavailable. Clean parking assist sensor” is displayed 
on the multi-information display 
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the i ce, snow, dirt, 
etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal. 
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a war ning message 
may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an obj ect. Once the 
ice melts, the system will return to normal. 
■ If  “Parking  assist  Malfunction  Visit  your  dealer”  is  displayed on  the 
multi-information display 
The system may not operate due to the malfunction of a sensor. 
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or  Toyota autho- 
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Sensor detection information 
The following situations may occur during use. 
● The sensors may be able to only detect objects near the front and rear bum- 
pers. 
● Depending  on  the  shape  of  the  object  and  other  factors,  the  detection  dis- 
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible. 
● If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected. 
● There  will  be  a  short  delay  between  object  detection  and  display.  Even  at 
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come wi thin the sensor’s 
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning bee p 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 system 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 
● Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle 
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehicle*
●The distance between the sensor and approaching vehicle gets too close
*: Depending  on  the  conditions,  detection  of  a  vehicle  and/or  object  may 
occur. 
● Vehicles  that  the  sensors  cannot  detect 
due to obstructions

PKSB (Parking Suppor t Brake)
■Parking Support Brake function (static objects) 
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. 485)
■Parking  Support  Brake  function  (rear-crossing  vehicles)  (if 
equipped) 
Rear radar sensors  are  used  to detect  approaching  vehicles in t he 
detection area behind the vehicle when backing up. ( P.   4 8 9 )
: If equipped
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  determines  that  a 
collision  with  a  detected  object  is  high,  a  warning  operates  to
urge  the  driver  to  take  evasive  action.  If  the  system  determine s 
that  the  possibility  of  a  collision  with  a  detected  object  is 
extremely  high,  the  brakes  are  automatically  applied  to  help
avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system 
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an ac cident. 
Always drive while checking the safety of the surroundings of t he vehicle. 
Depending  on  the  vehicle  and  road  conditions,  weather,  etc.,  th e  system 
may not operate. 
The  detection  capabilities  of  sensors  and  radars  are  limited. A lways  drive 
while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehicle. 
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, tak- 
ing care to observe your surroundings. The Parking Support Brak e system 
is  designed  to  provide  support  to  lessen  the  severity  of  collis ions.  How- 
ever, 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  ve hicle,  it  is 
necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake contr ol 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  at tempt  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 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 towing 
eyelet,  bumper  protector  (an  addi tional  trim  strip,  etc.),  bicycle  carrier,  or 
snow plow 
● When using automatic car washing devices 
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi- 
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning 
● 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
