When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator ( P. 9 2 )
illuminates.
To re-enable the system when it was
disabled, select on the multi-infor-
mation display, select and then
On. If disabled using this method, the
system will not be re-enabled by turning
the power switch off and then to ON.
If the hybrid system output restric-
tion control or brake control oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound and a
message will be displayed on the
multi-information display and head-
up display (if equipped) to alert the
driver.
Depending on the situation, hybrid sys-
tem output restriction control will oper-
ate to either limit acceleration or restrict
output as much as possible.

■If the Parking Support Brake has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation
of the Parking Support Brake, the Park- ing Support Brake will be disabled and the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate. If
the Parking Support Brake operates unnecessarily, brake control can be can-

celed by depressing the brake pedal or
waiting for approximately 2 seconds for it to automatically be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be operated by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support 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.292), or
turn the power switch off and then back to ON. Additionally, if the object becomes no longer in the traveling
direction of the vehicle or if the traveling direction of the vehicle changes (such as changing from moving forward to
backing up, or from backing up to mov- ing forward), the system will be re-enabled automatically.
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed
on the multi-information display and the PKSB OFF indicator is on
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation
of the Parking Support Brake, the Park- ing Support Brake will be disabled and the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate.
●A sensor may be covered with water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the
water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to nor-mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message may be displayed or the sensor may
not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
●If this message is displayed, a sensor on the front or rear bumper may be
dirty. Clean the sensors and their sur- rounding area on the bumpers.
●If this message continues to be dis-played even after cleaning the sensor, or is displayed even though the sen-
sor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.

■The Parking Support Brake func- tion (static object) will operate
when
The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or
flashing ( P.92, 441) and all of the fol- lowing conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-trol• The Parking Support Brake is
enabled. • The vehicle speed is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or less.
• There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and approxi-mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger-than-normal brake operation is necessary to avoid
a collision.
●Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction con- trol is operating.• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that an immediate brake opera- tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
■The Parking Support Brake func-tion (static objects) will stop oper-
ating when
The function will stop operating if any of the following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction con-
trol • The Parking Support Brake is dis-abled.
• The system determines that the colli- sion has become avoidable with nor-mal brake operation.
• The static object is no longer approxi- mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction
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 con-
trol. • The static object is no longer approxi-mately 2 to 4 m (6 to 13 ft.) away from
the vehicle or in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Detection range of the Parking Sup-port Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Sup- port Brake function (static objects) dif-fers from the detection range of the
Toyota parking assist-sensor. ( P.280) Therefore, even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor detects an object and pro-
vides a warning, the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) may not start operating.
■Toyota parking assist-sensor
buzzer
Regardless of whether the Toyota park- ing assist-sensor function is enabled or
not ( P.276), if the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) is enabled ( P.292), the front or rear sensors
detect an object and brake control and hybrid system output restriction control are performed, the Toyota parking
assist-sensor buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate distance to the object.

provide quick, powerful acceleration.
Making it suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driv-
ing on roads with many curves.
When the Power mode is selected,
Power mode indicator comes on.
3 Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-
friendly manner and improve fuel econ-
omy through moderate throttle charac-
teristics and by controlling the operation
of the air conditioning system (heat-
ing/cooling).
When the Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heat- ing/cooling operations and fan speed of the air conditioning system to enhance
fuel efficiency. To improve air condition- ing performance, perform the following operations:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode ( P.342)
●Adjust the fan speed (P.343)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of Power mode
If the power switch is turned off after
driving in power mode, the drive mode will be changed to normal mode.
Trail Mode (AWD vehi-
cles)
Trail Mode is designed to con-
trol the spinning of the drive
wheels by integratedly con-
trolling AWD, brake and drive
force control systems. Use the
Trail Mode when driving
bumpy roads, etc.
WARNING
■Before using Trail Mode
Make sure to observe the following
precautions.Failure to observe these precautions may result in an unex-pected accident.
●Trail mode is intended for use when driving on rough roads.
●Check that the Trail Mode indicator is illuminated before driving.
●Trail Mode is not intended to expand the limits of the vehicle. Thoroughly check the road condi-
tions and drive with caution.
NOTICE
■I n o rd e r t o e n su re t h a t Trai l M o de operates properly
Do not continuously use the Trail
Mode for a long period of time. Depending on the driving conditions, the load on related parts increases
and the system may not operate prop- erly.

3 Switches to Trail mode
If the tires are spinning, the slip
indicator flashes to indicate that the
Trail Mode is controlling the spin-
ning of the tires.
■Trail Mode
●Trail Mode controls the vehicle so that it can use the maximum amount of drive force when driving on rough
roads. As a result, fuel efficiency may diminish when compared to driving with Trail Mode off.
●If Trail Mode is continuously used for a long period of time, depending on
the driving conditions, the load on
related parts increases and the sys- tem may not function correctly. In this case, the “Traction Control Turned
OFF” will be shown on the multi-infor- mation display but the vehicle can be driven normally.
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” on the multi-information display will turn off after a short while and the system
will operate properly.
■When Trail Mode is canceled
In the following situations, Trail Mode is automatically canceled even if it is
selected:
●When the driving mode is changed.
( P.322)
●When the hybrid system is restarted.
■Sounds and vibrations when driv-
ing in Trail Mode
Any of the following conditions may occur when Trail Mode is operating.
None of these indicates that a malfunc- tion has occurred:
●Vibrations may be felt throughout the vehicle or steering
●Sounds may be heard from the engine compartment
■When the Trail Mode indicator does not illuminate
When the Trail Mode indicator does not illuminate even though the Trail Mode is selected, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer immediately.
