will turn off. ( P. 8 6 )
●Turn the PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) on ( P.309)
●The shift lever is in P.
●Drive with no opera tion targets in
the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle
●Change the traveling direction of
the vehicle
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi-
cator is flashing
●If this message is displayed only
when the shift lever is in any posi-
tion other than R, a sensor on the
front or rear bumper may be dirty.
Clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” and
“Parking Support Brake
Unavailable Remo ve the Dirt of
Rear Camera” is displayed on
the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator is
flashing
●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 i s shown even
after removing d irt 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 sys tem 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 retu rn to normal.

This function will operate in situations such as the following if an
object is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late
Parking Suppor t Brake function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the t rav-
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.

■ECB (Electronically Con-
trolled Brake System)
The electronically controlled
system generates braking force
corresponding to the brake
operation
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■Active Cornering Assist
(ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle
from drifting to the outer side by
performing inner wheel brake
control when attempting to
accelerate while turning

■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■E-Four (Electronic
On-Demand AWD system)
(AWD models)
Automatically controls the drive
system such as to front-wheel
drive or AWD (all wheel drive)
according to various running
conditions including normal driv-
ing, during cornering, on a
uphill, when starting off, during
acceleration, on a slippery roads
due to snow or rain, thus con-
tributing to stable operability and
driving stability.
■VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics
Integrated Management)
Provides integrated control of
the ABS, brake assist, TRAC,
VSC, hill-start assist control and
EPS systems
Helps to maintain vehicle stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controlling the
brakes, hybrid system output
and steering assist.
■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■When the
TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer Sway
Control systems
are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS/Trailer
