2023 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID parking sensors

3104-5. Using the driving support systems
objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your
vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the
parking spaces next to your vehi-
cle
*
●The distance between the sensor
and approaching vehicle gets too
close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following
situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned
due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker,
etc., is covering the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper
●When driving on a road surface
that is wet with standing water
during bad weather, such as
heavy rain, snow, or fog
●When multiple vehicles are
approaching with only a small gap
between each vehicle
●When a vehicle is approaching at
high speed
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additi onal trim strip,
etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with
a sharp change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp
angle parking spot
●Immediately after the RCTA func-
tion is turned on
●Immediately after the hybrid sys-
tem is started with the RCTA func-
tion on
●When the sensors cannot detect a
vehicle due to obstructions
●When towing a trailer
●When there is a significant differ-
ence in height between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle that enters the
detection area
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●If the front of the v ehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load
●When turning while backing up

3144-5. 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 Sup-
port Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehi-
cles) are enabled/disabled
simultaneously. (P.110, 121)
When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator
( P.90) illuminates on the multi-
information display.
To re-enable the system, select
on the multi-inform ation 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.
If the hybrid system output
restriction control or brake con-
trol operates, a buzzer will
sound and a message will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display or Multimedia Dis-
play, to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, hybrid
system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration
or restrict output as much as possi-
ble.
 Hybrid system output restric-
tion control is operating
(acceleration restriction)
Acceleration greater than a certain
amount is restric ted by the system.
Multimedia Display: No warning
displayed
Multi-information display: “Object
Detected Acceleration Reduced”
PKSB OFF indicator: Not illumi-
nated
Buzzer: Does not sound
 Hybrid system output restric-
tion control is operating (out-
put restricted as much as
possible)
The system has determined that
stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion is necessary.
Multimedia Display: “BRAKE!”
Multi-information display: “BRAKE!”
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-informa-
tion display and the PKSB
OFF indicator is flashing
If this message is displayed
immediately after the power
switch is changed to ON, operate
the vehicle carefully, paying atten-
tion to your surroundings. It may
be necessary to drive the vehicle
for a certain amount of time
before the system returns to nor-
mal. (If the system does not return
to normal after driving for a while,
clean the sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumpers.)

tion control begins operating
(System determines that pos-
sibility of collision with
detected object is high)
Brake control begins operat-
ing (System determines that
possibility of collision with
detected object is extremely
high)
■If the Parking Support Brake
has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parki ng Support Brake,
the Parking Suppor t Brake will be
disabled and the PKSB OFF indica-
tor will illuminate. If the Parking Sup-
port Brake operates unnecessarily,
brake control can be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal or wait-
ing for approximately 2 seconds for
it to automatically be canceled.
Then, the vehicle can be operated
by depressing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Sup-
port 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.314), or turn the power
switch to OFF and then back to ON.
Additionally, if the object becomes
no longer in the traveling direction of
the vehicle or if the traveling direc-
tion of the vehicle changes (such as
changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to
moving forward), t he system will be
re-enabled automatically.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi-
cator is flashing
If this message is displayed, a sen-
sor on the front or rear bumper may
be dirty. Clean the sensors and their
surrounding area on the bumpers.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” and
“Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor”
are displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the PKSB
OFF indicator is flashing
●A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. In this case,
remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor t o return the sys-
tem to normal. If this message is
shown even after removing dirt
from the sensor, or shown when
the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota 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 retu rn to normal.

3184-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
This function will operate in situations such as the following if an
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
Parking Support Brake fu nction (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the
traveling 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 unintended 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.

Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles)*
If a rear radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle and the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a collision is high, this function
will perform brake control to reduce the likelihood of an
impact with the approaching vehicle.
