vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected vehi-
cle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the outside rear view
mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.
■The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-
tional when
The Blind Spot Monitor is operational
when all of the following conditions are
met:
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift lever is in a position other
than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 16 km/h (10 mph).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle when
The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle present in the detection area in
the following situations:
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-
takes your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in adjacent
lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detection
area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not designed
to detect the following types of vehicles
and/or objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite
direction
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi-
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Following vehicles that are in the
same lane*
●Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away from
your vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being overtaken
rapidly by your vehicle*
*: Depending on the conditions, detec-
tion of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
■Conditions under which the system may not function correctly
●The Blind Spot Monitor may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situ-
ations:
• 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 surrounding
area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or
fog • When multiple vehicles are approach-
ing with only a small gap between
each vehicle • When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection
area • When the difference in speed
between your vehicle and another
vehicle is changing • When a vehicle enters a detection
area traveling at about the same
speed as your vehicle • As your vehicle starts from a stop, a
vehicle remains in the detection area
• When driving up and down consecu-
tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away
from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer

■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.

• The vehicle speed is approximately 15
km/h (9 mph) or less. • Vehicles which are approaching from
the right or left at the rear of the vehi-
cle at a traveling speed of approxi- mately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger than normal
brake operation is necessary to avoid
a collision with an approaching vehi- cle.
●Brake control• Engine output restriction control is
operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an emergency brake oper-
ation is necessary to avoid a collision
with an approaching vehicle.
■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (rear-crossing vehicles) will
stop operating 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 collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching
from the right or left at the rear 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.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching
from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle.
■Detection area of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear-crossing vehi-
cles) differs from the detection area of
the RCTA function ( P.314). Therefore,
even if the RCTA function detects a vehicle and provides an alert, the Park-
ing Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) may not start operating.

Parking Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is ope rating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, engine output suppression
control and brake control of the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) system are operated, regardless of whether the
PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system
is on or off. ( P.318)
●After the PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) system operates, operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System is temporarily stopped, and
operation of the PKSB (Parking Sup- port Brake) system is indicated on the
multi-information display. ( P.319)
●When operation of the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System is stopped
3 times by operation of the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) system, the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist Sys-
tem is canceled.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System becomes available
after the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is operated, a mes-
sage prompting you to shift is dis-
played on the multi-information display. Operation of the Simple Intel-
ligent Parking Assist System can be
resumed by shifting according to the
prompt on the multi-information dis- play and pressing the S-IPA switch
( P.331) again.

■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected,
you will be guided forward until you
reach the assist control starting
position, and then the parallel park-
ing assist mode can be used. Fur-
thermore, depending on the parking
space and other conditions,
multi-turn maneuvering assist con-
trol is also provided if necessary.
1 Continue moving forward with
the vehicle parallel to the curb or
road, and stop so that the center
of the target parking spot
appears nearly perpendicular to
the vehicle. Then, press the
S-IPA switch 1 time to select the
parallel parking assist mode.
2 Travel straight ahead parallel
with the road or curb so that the
parking space is detected.
3 A sound is issued and a display
is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position
where assist control can be
used to begin backing up from,
and then when the shift lever is
changed according to guidance
provided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road
width (distance to the side of the road
across from the parking space) is nar-
row, or if there are obstacles in front of
the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
