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, head-up display (if
equipped) and 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.

2984-5. Using the driving support systems
If the Parking Support Brake
determines that a collision with a
detected object is possible, the
hybrid system output will be
restricted to restrain any
increase in the vehicle speed.
(Hybrid system output restriction
control: See figure 2.)
Additionally, if the accelerator
pedal continues to be
depressed, the brakes will be
applied automatically to reduce
the vehicle speed. (Brake con-
trol: See figure 3.)

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.296), 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) , the system will be
re-enabled automatically.
■If “PKSB Unavailable”/“Parking
Support Brake Unavailable” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display and the PKSB OFF
indicator illuminates
●If “Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed simultaneously, a sen-
sor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. In this case,
remove the ice, s now, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to 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.
●If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is
displayed simultaneously, water
may be continuously flowing over
the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system
determines that it is normal, the
system will return to normal.

*: If equipped
This function will operate in situ-
ations such as the following if an
object is detected in the travel-
ing 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
Parking Support Brake
function (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 vehi-
cle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental
accelerator pedal opera-
tion, 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.

The function will operate when the
PKSB OFF indicator is not illumi-
nated ( P.86, 88) 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 of 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

■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 intuitive parking assist
(  P.292). 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 which the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may not operate
When the shift lever is in N
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
 P.290
■Situations in which the system
may operate even if there is no
possibility of a collision
 P.291
*: If equipped
This function will operate in situ-
ations such as the following if a
vehicle is detected in the travel-
ing direction of the vehicle.
■When reversing, a vehicle is
approaching and the brake
pedal is not depressed, or
is depressed late
Parking Suppo rt Brake
function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
*
If a rear radar sensor
detects a vehicle approach-
ing from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is high, this function will
perform brake control to
reduce the likelihood of an
impact with the approach-
ing vehicle.

The function will operate when the
PKSB OFF indicator is not illumi-
nated ( P.86, 88) 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.
• Vehicles are approaching from the right or left at th e rear of the vehi-
cle at a traveling speed of approx-
imately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger than normal
brake operation is necessary to
avoid a collision with an approach-
ing vehicle.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an emergency brake
operation is necessary to avoid a
collision with an approaching vehi-
cle.
■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:
●Hybrid system 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
the vehicle.
■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.283). Therefore, even if the
RCTA function detects a vehicle
and provides an alert, the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) may not start operat-
ing.

on the multi-information display.Multi-information display
Driving mode select switch
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic
performance. Suitable for normal
driving.
2Sport mode
Controls the hybrid system to pro-
vide quick, powerful acceleration.
This mode also changes the steer-
ing feel, making it suitable for when
agile driving response is desired, such as when driving on roads with
many curves.
When Sport mode is selected,
Sport mode indicator comes on.

Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an
eco-friendly manner and improve
fuel economy through moderate
throttle characteristics and by con-
trolling the operation of the air con-
ditioning system (heating/cooling).
When Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes
on.
■When the driving mode is
changed
The background color of the multi-
information display changes accord-
ing to the select ed driving mode.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode con trols the heat-
ing/cooling operations and fan
speed of the air conditioning system
to enhance fuel efficiency. To
improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode
(  P.321, 330)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.321,
329)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of a
