2022 TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID parking sensors

3785-5. Using the driving support systems
When the vehicle comes within
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of
the object, the buzzer sounds
continuously
When 2 or more sensors simulta-
neously detect a static object,
the buzzer sounds for the near-
est object.
Even when the sensors are oper-
ating, the buzzer will be muted in
some situations. (automatic
buzzer mute function)
QMuting the buzzer sound (vehicles
with PKSB)
OAutomatic buzzer mute function
Even when the sensors are operating,
the buzzer will be muted in the following
situations:
• The distance between the vehicle and
the detected object does not become
shorter (except when the distance
between the vehicle and object is 30
cm [1.0 ft.] or less).
• Your vehicle is moving away from the
object.
• There are no detectable objects enter-
ing the path of your vehicle.
However, if another object is detected or
the situation changes while the buzzer is
muted, the buzzer begins sounding
again.
OTo mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily muted by
pressing of the meter control
switches while a suggestion that says
mute is available is shown on the multi-
information display.
OWhen the mute is canceled
Mute will be automatically canceled in
the following situations.
• When the shift position is changed• When the vehicle speed has reached
or exceeded a certain speed
• When the Toyota parking assist is
turned off once and turned on again
• When the power switch is turned off
once and turned to ON again
QCustomization
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on
the multi-information display. (except for
vehicles without front sensors)

PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the follow-
ing functions that operate
when driving at a low speed or
backing up, such as when
parking. When the system
determines that the possibility
of a collision with a detected
object is high, a warning oper-
ates to urge the driver to take
evasive action. If the system
determines that the possibility
of a collision with a detected
object is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.
PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) system
WARNING
QCautions regarding the use of the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the vehi- cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors
and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-roundings of the vehicle.
OThe driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings. 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.
OThe 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.
OIt is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intention-
ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
QWhen to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake
In the following situations, disable the Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
OWhen inspecting the vehicle using
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free roller.

3805-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the screen
of the multi-information display. All
of the Parking Support Brake func-
tions (static objects and rear-cross-
ing vehicles) are enabled/disabled
simultaneously. ( P.184)
When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.169) illuminates on the multi-infor-
mation display.
To re-enable the system, select on
the multi-information display, select
and turn it on.
If the system is disabled, it will remain
off even if the power switch is turned to
ON after the power switch has been
turned off.
WARNING
OWhen loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport ves-
sel.
OIf the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed.
OIf the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
OWhen 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.
OWhen using automatic car washing devices.
OIf the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning.
OWhen the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road.
OWhen the tires are not properly
inflated.
OWhen the tires are very worn.
OWhen tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit are used.
NOTICE
QIf “Parking Support Brake Unavailable” is displayed on the
multi-information display and the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the power switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your sur-
roundings. 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.)

ing the accelerator pedal.
QRe-enabling the Parking Support
Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake
when it is disabled due to operation of
the Parking Support Brake, either
enable the system again (P.380), or
turn the power switch off and then back
to ON. Additionally, if the object
becomes no longer in the traveling
direction of the vehicle or if the traveling
direction of the vehicle changes (such
as changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to mov-
ing forward), the system will be re-
enabled automatically.
QIf “Parking Support Brake Unavail-
able” is displayed on the multi-
information display and the PKSB
OFF indicator illuminates
OIf “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed simultaneously, a sensor
may be covered with ice, snow, dirt,
etc. In this case, remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to
return the system to normal. If this
message is shown even after remov-
ing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
OIf “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-
played simultaneously, water may be
continuously flowing over the sensor
surface, such as in a heavy rain.
When the system determines that it is
normal, the system will return to nor-
mal.
*: If equipped
This function will operate in situa-
tions such as the following if an
object is detected in the traveling
direction of the vehicle.
Parking Support Brake
function (static objects)
*
If the sensors detect a static
object, such as a wall, in the
traveling direction of the vehi-
cle and the system determines
that a collision may occur due
to the vehicle suddenly moving
forward due to an accidental
accelerator pedal operation,
the vehicle moving the unin-
tended direction due to the
wrong shift position being
selected, 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.
