■When to disable the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) sys-
tem
In the following situations, disable
the PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) as the system may oper-
ate even though there is no possi-
bility of a collision.
●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
●When a tire chains or an emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit is
used
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency tow-
ing
■Precautions for the suspen-
sion
Do not modify the suspension of
the vehicle. If the height or tilt of
the vehicle is c hanged, the sen-
sors may not be able to detect
detectable objects and the system
may not operate correctly, possi-
bly leading to an accident.

If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the travelling
direction of the vehicle 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, or while park ing or
traveling at low speeds, the system will operate to lessen the impact
with the detected static object and reduce the resulting damage .
The system operates in the follow ing situations when a static 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
■When the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively

■The system will operate when
The function will operate when the
driving assist information indicator is
not illuminated or flashing ( P.82,
408) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction
control
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system 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 PKSB (Parking Support Brake) determines that a stron-
ger-than-normal brake operation
is necessary to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) determines that an imme-
diate brake operation is necessary
to avoid a collision.
■The system will stop operating
when
The function will stop operating if
any of the following conditions are
met:
●Hybrid system output restriction
control
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake)
system is disabled.
• The system determines that the collision has become avoidable
with normal brake operation.
• The static object is no longer approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m)
away from the vehicle or in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
●Brake control

• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is disabled.
• 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 control.
• The static object is no longer
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m)
away from the vehicle or in the
traveling directi on of the vehicle.
■Detection range
The detection range of the system
differs from the detection range of the intuitive parking assist. (
P.272)
Therefore, even if the intuitive park-
ing assist detects an object and pro-
vides a warning, the PKSB (Parking
Support Brake) may not start oper-
ating.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
P.270
■Situations in which the system
may operate even if there is no
possibility of a collision
P.271
If a rear radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle and the system determines that the pos-
sibility of a collision is high, this function will perform bra ke control to
reduce the likelihood of an impact with the approaching vehicle .
This function will operate in sit uations such as the following if a vehi-
cle is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When reversing, a vehicle is approaching and the brake pedal
is not depressed, or is depressed late

Driving
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintai n directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■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
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■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.
■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 sys-
tems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the hybrid sys-
tem to the wheels . Pressing to
turn the system off may make it eas-
ier for you to rock the vehicle in
order to free it.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly
press and release .

■Active Cornering Assist opera-
tion sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and
vibrations may b e generated from
the brake system, but this is not a
malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sound (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be
automatically re-enabled in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the power switch is turned
off
●If only the TRAC system is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned off, automatic
re-enabling will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active
Cornering Assist
The system operates when the fol-
lowing occurs.
●TRAC/VSC can operate
●The driver is at tempting to accel-
erate while turning
●The system detects that the vehi-
cle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period of time. The steer-
ing wheel may feel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system off. The EPS system should
return to normal within 10 minutes.
■Secondary Collision Brake
operating conditions
The system operates when the SRS
airbag sensor detects a collision
while the vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not oper-
ate when the components are dam-
aged.
■Secondary Collision Brake
automatic cancellation
The system is automatically can-
celed in any of th e following situa-
tions.
●The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 0 mph (0 km/h)
●A certain amount of time elapses
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is
depressed a large amount

■The ABS does not operate
effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded
(such as excessively worn tires
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while
driving at high speed on wet or
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the
ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to
shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the veh icle in front of
you, especially in the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
