■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a collision with 
a pedestrian is high and that 
there is sufficient space for the 
vehicle to be steered into within 
its lane, and the driver has 
begun evasive maneuver or 
steering, emergency steering 
assist will assist the steering 
movements to help enhance the 
vehicle stability and for lane 
departure prevention. During 
operation, the indicator will illu-
minate in green.
■Intersection right/left turn 
assistance
If the system determines that 
there is a high possibility of a 
collision in the following situa-
tions, it will assist with Pre-colli-
sion warning and, if necessary 
Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration 
of the intersection, it may not be 
possible to support.
 When you turn right/left at an 
intersection and cross the 
path of an oncoming vehicle 
When you turn right/left, 
pedestrian is detected in the 
forward direction and esti-
mated to enter your vehicle’s 
path (bicyclists are not 
detected.)
■Suspension control (vehi-
cles with Adaptive Variable 
Suspension System)
When the system determines 
that the possibility of a frontal 
collision is high, the Adaptive 
Variable Suspension System 
( P.375) will control the damp-
ing force of the shock absorbers 
to help maintain an appropriate 
vehicle posture.

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)
The Parking Support Brake 
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low 
speed or backing up, such 
as when parking. When the 
system determines that the 
probability of a collision 
with a detected object or 
pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the 
driver to take evasive 
action. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of 
a collision with a detected 
object or pedestrian is 
extremely high, the brakes 
are automatically applied to 
help avoid the collision or 
help reduce the impact of 
the collision.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
Do not overly rely on the system, 
as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
Always drive while checking the 
safety of the surroundings of the 
vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and 
road conditions, weather, etc., the 
system may not operate.
The detection capa bilities of sen-
sors and radars are limited. 
Always drive while checking the 
safety of the surroundings of the 
vehicle.
●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 provide support to 
lessen the severity of collisions. 
However, it may not operate in 
some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake sys-
tem 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 imme-
diately as brake control will be 
canceled after approximately 2 
seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to 
check the system operations by 
intentionally driving the vehicle 
into the direction of a wall, etc. 
Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking 
Support Brake
In the following situations, disable 
the Parking Support Brake as the 
system may operate even though 
there is no poss ibility of a colli-
sion.
●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 
modified 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 towing 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 acci-
dent 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

■The Parking Support Brake 
function (static object) will 
operate when
The function will op erate when the 
PKSB OFF indicator  is not illumi-
nated or flashing ( P.89, 504) and 
all of the followin g conditions are 
met:
●Hybrid system output restriction 
control
• The Parking Support Brake is  enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is a static object in the trav- eling direction of the vehicle and 
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) 
away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger-than-nor-
mal brake operation is necessary 
to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction  control is operating.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an immediate brake 
operation is necessary to avoid a 
collision.
WARNING
●Do not subject the surrounding 
area of the sensor to a strong 
impact. If subjected to an 
impact, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer. If the fr ont or rear 
bumper needs to be 
removed/installed or replaced, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or 
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate 
cover.
●Keep your tires properly 
inflated.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as 
changes to the height or inclina-
tion of the vehicle may prevent 
the sensors from detecting 
objects correctly or cause the sys-
tem to not operate or operate 
unnecessarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake 
function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as 
at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (static objects) 
operates unnecessarily, such as 
at a railroad cross ing, brake con-
trol will be cancele d after approxi-
mately 2 seconds, allowing you to 
proceed forward and leave the 
area, brake control can also be 
canceled by depressing the brake 
pedal. Depressing the accelera-
tor pedal after brake control is 
canceled will allow you to proceed 
forward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of 
water or steam to the sensor 
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor 
malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure 
washer to wash the vehicle, do 
not spray the sensors directly, 
as doing so may cause a sensor 
to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the 
vehicle, do not direct steam too 
close to the sensors as doing so 
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
