the traveling direction of the vehi-
cle
●Change the traveling direction of
the vehicle
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi-
cator is flashing
●If this message is displayed only
when the shift lever is in any posi-
tion other than R, a sensor on the
front or rear bumper may be dirty.
Clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” and
“Parking Support Brake
Unavailable Remove the Dirt of
Rear Camera” is displayed on
the multi-information display
and the PKSB OFF indicator is
flashing
●A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to
return the system to normal.
If this message is shown even
after removing dirt from the sen-
sor, or shown when the sensor
was not dirty to begin with, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
●A sensor may be frozen. Once the
ice melts, the sys tem will return to
normal.
●Water may be continuously flow-
ing over the sensor surface, such
as in a heavy rain. When the sys-
tem determines that it is normal,
the system will re turn to normal.
■If a battery terminal has been
disconnected and reconnected
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
22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

■The Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing vehi-
cles) will stop operating when
The function will st op operating if
any of the following conditions are
met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
• The collision becomes avoidable
with normal brake operation.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at the rear 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 control.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching
from the right or left at the rear of

■Detection area of the Parking
Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) differs from the detec-
tion area of the RCTA function
(  P.285). Therefore, even if the
RCTA function detects a vehicle and
provides an alert, the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles) may not start operating.
