■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (static object) will operate  
when 
The function will operate when the  PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or  
flashing ( P.85, 87) and all of the fol- 
lowing conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is ena- bled. 
• The vehicle speed is approximately 15 
km/h (9 mph) or less. • There is a static object in the traveling  
direction of the vehicle and approxi-
mately 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 disa-
bled. • The system determines that the colli- 
sion has become avoidable with nor-
mal brake operation. • The static object is no longer approxi- 
mately 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 disa- 
bled.
• 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 approxi- 
mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from  the vehicle or in the traveling direction  
of the vehicle.
■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.308)  
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.

■Function summary 
The Simple Inte lligent Parking  
Assist System automatically oper-
ates the steering wheel to provide 
support when backing into an area 
near a target parking spot, and 
when departing from a parallel 
parking spot. (Shift lever operations 
and speed adjustment when mov-
ing forward or backing up are not 
performed automatically.) 
 The Simple Intelligent Parking  
Assist System does not park the 
vehicle automatically. It is a sys-
tem that provides support when 
pulling out of a perpendicular or 
parallel parking spot. 
 The Simple Intelligent Parking  
Assist System provides steering 
wheel operation assistance to 
guide the vehicle toward the 
selected intended parking spot. 
The selected intended parking 
spot may not always be reacha-
ble, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of 
parking, and the distance to the 
intended parking spot.
■Linking with the PKSB (Park-
ing Support Brake) system (if 
equipped) 
While the Simple Intelligent Parking  
Assist System is operating, if the 
system detects an obstacle that 
could result in a  collision, the emer- 
gency brakes operate, regardless 
of whether the PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake) system is on or off.

■Parallel parking assist mode oper- 
ating conditions
●In order to operate the parallel parking  
assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at  
a speed at which the vehicle can be  quickly stopped) parallel to the road  
(or shoulder) while maintaining a dis-
tance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) to  any parked vehicles.
●The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately 30  
km/h (19 mph) or higher.
●The front side sensors and rear side 
sensors are used to detect parked 
vehicles and determine the parking  spot. Therefore, when detection is not  
possible ( P.353), guidance is not  
issued.
●If there are no parked vehicles, the 
parking spot cannot be determined.  Therefore, the parallel parking assist  
mode cannot be operated.
●If unable to detect the environment 
surrounding the parking space, the 
parallel parking assist mode may not  be able to operate.
●Guidance will continue until the vehi-cle speed meets or exceeds approxi- 
mately 30 km/h (19 mph) or the 
function is turned off using the S-IPA  switch.
■Timing for pressing the S-IPA  
switch 
In the following cases, the assist mode  may also operate during the steps taken  
to park using the parallel parking assist 
mode. However, in th ese cases, conduct  parking procedures according to the  
information on the mu lti-information dis- 
play.
●In step  1 the S-IPA switch is pressed  
after already passing over the target  parking spot. 
If the vehicle is not stopped in step  1,  
pressing the S-IPA switch 1 time while 
the vehicle is in motion allows you to  select “Parallel Parking” and proceed  
directly to step  2.
●The vehicle is moved up to the posi- 
tion in step  3 without the S-IPA switch  
being pressed. Then the S-IPA switch  is pressed after having changed the
