■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
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot 
detect due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi- 
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehi- cle
●Vehicles approaching from the park- 
ing spaces next to your vehicle*
●The distance between the sensor and  
approaching vehicle gets too close*: Depending on the conditions, detec- 
tion of a vehicle and/or object may 
occur.
■Situations in which the system may  not operate properly 
The RCTA function may not detect vehi- 
cles correctly in the following situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned due to 
a strong impact to the sensor or its  surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc.,  
is covering the sensor or its surround- ing area on the rear bumper

tion area
■Situations in which the system may 
operate even if there is no possibil- ity of a collision 
Instances of the RCTA function unnec- 
essary detecting a vehicle and/or object  may increase in the following situations:
●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, sigh, or parked vehi-
cle,which may reflect electrical waves  toward the rear of the vehicle, is short
●When equipment that may obstruct a  
sensor is installed, such as a towing  eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- 
tional trim strip, et c.), bicycle carrier,or

■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system 
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 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.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operatio ns by intention- 
ally driving the vehicle into the 
direction of a wall, etc. Never  attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake 
In the following situations, disable the  
Parking Support Br ake 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 modi-
fied 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 tow- 
ing 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 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
NOTICE
■If “Parking Support Brake Una- vailable” is displayed on the  
multi-information display and the 
PKSB OFF indicator is flashing 
If this message is displayed immedi- 
ately after the engine switch is 
changed to ON, operate the vehicle  carefully, paying 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 does not return 
to normal after driving for a while,  clean the sensors and their surround- 
ing area on the bumpers.)

■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.

■When using the Simple Intelli- 
gent Parking Assist System
●When backing up or proceeding for- ward, be sure to directly confirm the  
safety of the area to the front or 
rear, and the area around the vehi- cle, and slowly back up or proceed  
forward while adjusting the vehicle 
speed by depressing the brake  pedal.
●If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another  
vehicle or any other obstacles, stop 
the vehicle by depressing the brake  pedal, and then press the S-IPA  
switch ( P.331) to turn the system  
off.

●When Active Cornering Assist fre- 
quently operates, Active Cornering 
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of  
the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not 
operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist 
control. Hill-start  assist control may  not operate effectively on steep  
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start 
assist control is not intended to hold 
the vehicle stationary for an  extended period of time. Do not  
attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline,  as doing so may lead to an acci- 
dent.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway 
Control is activated 
The slip indicator light flashes. Always  drive carefully. Reckless driving may  
cause an accident. Exercise particular 
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway 
Control systems are turned off 
Be especially careful and drive at a  
speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to  help ensure vehicle stability and driv- 
ing force, do not turn the 
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control sys- tems off unless necessary. 
Trailer Sway Control is part of the 
VSC system and will  not operate if  VSC is turned off or experiences a  
malfunction.
■Replacing tires 
Make sure that all tires are of the  
specified size, brand, tread pattern 
and total load capacity. In addition,  make sure that the tires are inflated to  
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC Trailer Sway Control  
and VSC systems w ill not function  
correctly if different tires are installed  on the vehicle. 
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any  reliable repairer for further information  
when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-
sion 
Using tires with any kind of problem  or modifying the suspension will affect  
the driving assist systems, and may 
cause a system to malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution 
The Trailer Sway Control system is  not able to reduce trailer sway in all  
situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the  vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv- 
ing environment, the Trailer Sway 
Control system may not be effective.  Refer to your trailer owner's manual  
for information on how to tow your 
trailer properly.
■If trailer sway occurs 
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may cause death or  
serious injury.
●Firmly grip the steering wheel. 
Steer straight ahead. Do not try to 
control trailer sway by turning the 
steering wheel.
●Begin releasing the accelerator 
pedal immediately but very gradu- ally to reduce speed. 
Do not increase speed. Do not 
apply vehicle brakes.
