NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a
sensor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
● Intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a beep sounds when
no obstacles are detected.
● If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
● If the bumper collides with something.
● If the display shows up and remains on without a beep.
● If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it
is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

Parking Suppor t Brake function
The system operates in the follo wing situations when an obstacle is
detected in the traveling d irection of the vehicle.
◆The vehicle is driven at low speeds and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed too late
◆The accelerator pedal is depressed too far
: If equipped
When a collision may occur with an obstacle while parking or
traveling at low speeds, when the vehicle suddenly moves for-
ward due to mistaken accelerator pedal operation, or when the
vehicle moves due to the wrong shift position being selected,
the sensors detect obstacles to the front or rear in the travel ing
direction of the vehicle, and the system operates to lessen
impact with obstacles such as walls, and reduce resulting dam-
age.

The Parking Support Brake funct ion can be enabled/disabled on the
screen ( P. 151) of the multi-information display.
When the Parking Support Brake
function is off, the PKSB OFF indi-
cator illuminates.
When the Parking Support Brake function is switched off, system operation
does not resume until the function is switched back on through the
screen on the multi-information display. (System operation does not
resume by operating the power switch.)

When the Parking Support Brake f unction detects an obstacle with a
probability of collision, hybrid system output is restricted to restrain an
increase in vehicle speed. (Hybri d system output restriction control: A)
Furthermore, when the accelerator pedal continues to be depress ed,
the brakes are applied to reduce the vehicle speed. (Brake control: B)

■Operation starting conditions
When the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing ( P. 3 7 8 ,
599) and all of the following conditions are met, the system op erates.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function is on.
● The vehicle speed is approxima tely 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
● There is an obstacle in the traveling direction of the vehicle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
● The system determined that a stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion was necessary to avoid a collision.
Brake control
● Hybrid system output restricti on control is being performed.
● The system determined that a n emergency brake operation was
necessary to av oid a collision.
■Operation ending conditions
In any of the following situatio ns, the system stops operating.
Hybrid system output restriction control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● The collision became a voidable with normal brake operation.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).
Brake control
● The Parking Support Brake function has been turned off
(stopped).
● Approximately 2 seconds elapsed after the vehicle was stopped
by brake control.
● The brake pedal was depressed after the vehicle was stopped by
brake control.
● The obstacle is no longer in the traveling direction of the veh icle
(approximately 6 to 13 ft. [2 to 4 m] ahead).

When the hybrid system output restriction control or brake cont rol
operates, the buzzer sounds and a message is displayed on the m ulti-
information display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, output restriction control operates to either
limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.
