■Buzzer operation and
approximate distance to
object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as
the vehicle approaches an
object. When the vehicle
comes within approximately
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the object,
the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.
When 2 or more sensors
simultaneously detect a static
object, the buzzer sounds for
the nearest object.
Even when the sensors are
operating, the buzzer will be
muted in some situations.

tion)

Each time the switch is pressed,
the volume level will change
between 1, 2, and 3.
■Muting a buzzer
A mute button will be displayed
on the multi-information display
when an object is detected. To
mute the buzzer, press .
The buzzers for the intuitive
parking assist and RCTA func-
tion (if equipped) will be muted
simultaneously.
Mute will be canceled automati-
cally in the following situations:
When the shift lever is
changed.
When the vehicle speed
exceeds a certain speed.
When there is a malfunction
in a sensor or the system is
temporarily unavailable.
When the operating function
is disabled manually.

Ultrasonic sensors are used to
detect static objects, such as a
wall, in the detection area when
driving at a low speed or back-

( P.267)PKSB (Parking Sup-
por t Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a collision
with a detected object is
high, a warning operates to
urge the driver to take eva-
sive action. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a collision with a
detected object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.
PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) system
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system,
as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and
road conditions, weather, etc., the
system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sen-
sors and radars are limited.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the
vehicle.
●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 sys-
tem 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 imme-
diately as brake control will be
canceled after approximately 2
seconds.

The Parking Support Brake can
be enabled/disabled on the
multi-information display. All of
the Parking Support Brake func-
tions (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)
1 Press or to select .
2 Press or to select
and then press .
When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.78) illuminates.
WARNING
●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 colli-
sion.
●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 additional 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 vehicle has been in an acci-
dent 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
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-informa-
tion display and the PKSB
OFF indicator is on
If this message is displayed
immediately after the engine
switch is changed to ON, operate
the vehicle carefully, paying atten-
tion to your surr oundings. It may
be necessary to drive the vehicle
for a certain amount of time
before the system returns to nor-
mal. (If the system is not return to
normal after driv ing for a while,
clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.)

Driving
brake control can be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal or wait-
ing for approximately 2 seconds for
it to automatically be canceled.
Then, the vehicle can be operated
by depressing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Sup-
port Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support
Brake when it has been disabled
due to system operation perform
any of the following operations.
At this time, the PKSB OFF indicator
will turn off. ( P. 7 8 )
●Turn the engine switch off and
then back to ON.
●If the object becomes no longer in
the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle or if the traveling direction of
the vehicle changes (such as
changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to
moving forward), the system will
be re-enabled automatically.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi-
cator is on
A sensor on the front or rear bumper
may be dirty. Clean the sensors and
their surrounding area on the bum-
pers.
●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 sen-
sor, or shown when the sensor
was not dirty to begin with, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
●A sensor may be frozen. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to
normal.
●Water may be continuously flow-
ing over the sensor surface, such
as in a heavy rain. When the sys-
tem determines that it is normal,
the system will return to normal.

This function will operate in situations such as the following if an
object is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

Parking Suppor t Brake function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the trav-
elling direction of the vehicle and the system determines that
a collision may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental accelerator pedal operation, 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.
