■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as
the vehicle approaches an
object. When the vehicle
comes within approximately
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the object,
the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.
When 2 or more sensors
simultaneously detect a static
object, the buzzer sounds for
the nearest object. If one or
more objects come within
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
of the vehicle, the buzzer will
repeat a long tone, followed
by fast beeps.
Even when the sensors are
operating, the buzzer will be
muted in some situations.
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)
■Muting the buzzer sound
●Automatic buzzer mute function
Even when the sensors are operat-
ing, the buzzer will be muted in the
following situations:
• The distance betw een the vehicle
and the detected object does not
become shorter (except when the
distance between the vehicle and
object is 1.0 ft. [30 cm] or less).
• Your vehicle is moving away from the object.
• There are no detectable objects entering the path of your vehicle. However, if another object is
detected or the situation changes
while the buzzer
is muted, the
buzzer begins sounding again.
●To mute the buzzer sound
The buzzer can be temporarily
muted by pressing “OK” of the meter
control switches while a suggestion
that says mute is available is shown
on the multi-information display.
●When the mute is canceled
Mute will be automat ically canceled
in the following situations.
• When the shift position is changed
• When the vehicle speed has reached or exceeded a certain
speed
●When there is a malfunction in a
sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.
• When the Intuitive parking assist
is turned off on ce and turned on
again
• When the power switch is turned
off once and turned to ON again
■Customization
The buzzer volume can be adjusted
on the multi-information display.

■The Parking Support Brake
function (static object) will
operate when
The function will op erate when the
PKSB OFF indicato r is not illumi-
nated ( P.93, 94) and all of the fol-
lowing 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 o f 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.
■The Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) will
stop operating when
The function will st op operating if
any of the following conditions are
met:
●Hybrid system output restriction
control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
• The system determines that the collision has beco me 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 directi on 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.
• 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.
■Detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects)
The detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) differs from the detection
range of the intuiti ve parking assist.
( P.317) Therefore, even if the
intuitive parking assist detects an
object and provides a warning, the
Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) may not start operat-
ing.
■Situations in wh ich the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may not operate

WARNING
■Active Cornering Assist does
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate
effectively when accelerating
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily
stop operating to ensure proper
operation of the brakes, TRAC
and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start
assist control. Hill-start assist
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-
start assist control is not
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary for an extended period
of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold
the vehicle on an incline, as
doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the
TRAC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control is activated
The slip indicator light flashes.
Always drive carefully. Reckless
driving may cause an accident.
Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer
Sway Control systems are
turned off
Be especially careful and drive at
a speed appropriate to the road
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn
the TRAC/VSC/Tra iler Sway Con-
trol systems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the
VSC system and will not operate
if VSC is turned off or experiences
a malfunction.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In
addition, make sure that the tires
are inflated to the recommended
tire inflation p ressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, Trailer Sway
Control and VSC systems will not
function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
further information when replacing
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension
will affect the driving assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to
malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precau-
tion
The Trailer Sway Control system
is not able to red uce trailer sway
in all situations. Depending on
many factors such as the condi-
tions of the vehicle, trailer, road
surface and drivi ng environment,
the Trailer Sway Control system
may not be effective. Refer to
your trailer owner’s manual for
information on how to tow your
trailer properly.

WARNING
●Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire
with a standard tire as soon as
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire
is attached
The vehicle speed may not be
correctly detecte d, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC/Trailer Sway Control
• TRAC
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• EPS
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Tire pressure warning system
• AHB (Automatic High Beam)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
• Rear view monitor system (if equipped)
• Panoramic view monitor (if equipped)
• Toyota parking assist monitor (if equipped)
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) (if equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
Also, not only c an the following
system not be utilized fully, but it
may actually negatively affect the
drive-train components:
• E-Four (Electronic On-Demand
AWD system) (AWD models)
■Speed limit when using the
compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess
of 50 mph (80 km /h) when a com-
pact spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not
designed for driving at high
speeds. Failure to observe this
precaution may lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, ma ke sure all the
tools and jack are securely in
place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal
injury during a collision or sudden
braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over
bumps with the compact
spare tire installed on the
vehicle
The vehicle height may become
lower when drivi ng with the com-
pact spare tire compared to when
driving with standard tires. Be
careful when driving over uneven
road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and
the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the com-
pact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehi-
cle body and adversely affect driv-
ing performance.
