■Re-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.266), 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.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information display and the PKSB OFF indicator is on
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-ing Support Brake will be disabled and
the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate.
●A sensor may be covered with water
drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal. Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to
normal.
●If this message is displayed, a sensor
on the front or rear bumper may be dirty. Clean the sensors and their sur-rounding area on the bumpers.
●If this message continues to be dis-played even after cleaning the sensor,
or is displayed even though the sen- sor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If a 12-volt battery terminal has
been disconnected and recon- nected
The system needs to be initialized. To
initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22
mph) or more.

■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.91, 92) and all of the fol- lowing conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-trol• The Parking Support Brake is
enabled. • 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
• Hybrid system output restriction con- trol 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:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-
trol • The Parking Support Brake is dis-abled.
• 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 dis- abled.• 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.258)
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.
■Objects which the system may not be properly detected
P. 2 5 6
■Toyota parking assist-sensor buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park-
ing assist-sensor buzzer is enabled or not ( P.254), if the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) is enabled
( P.266), the front or rear sensors detect an object and brake control is performed, the Toyota parking assist-
sensor buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate distance to the object.

When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage tem-
porarily drops, the electric power steer- ing system warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is
punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.386, 397
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the power switch off then turn it to ON. Check if the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi-ately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-
tion pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the speci-fied level and perform initialization.
( P.337)
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks and tire inflation pres-
sure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light
(after a few minutes).
