■Muting a buzzer
A mute button will be displayed on
the multi-information display when
an object is detected. To mute the
buzzer, press .
The buzzers for the Toyota parking
assist-sensor and RCTA function (if
equipped) will be muted simultane-
ously.
Mute will be canceled automatically
in the following situations:
When the shift lever is changed.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
a certain speed.
When there is a malfunction in a
sensor or the system is tempo-
rarily unavailable.
When the operating function is
disabled manually.
When the power switch is turned
off.
The object warning function informs
the driver of the existence of
objects along the side of the vehi-
cle, using a display and buzzer, if
the objects are within the estimated
path of the vehicle.
Object
Calculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras ca n detect
objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be
detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the location of t he object rel-
ative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is determined to be in the esti-
mated path of the vehicle, the object warning function will ope rate.

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not
detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side
sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer so unds.
■Object warning function operating
conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 7 m (23.0 ft.) after the hybrid system is started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been selected, the vehicle has moved 7 m (23.0 ft.) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed and the panoramic view monitor screen is
displayed.
●The front or rear sensor detects a sta-
tionary object.
■Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The location of objects in relation to the
vehicle is estimated after they are first detected by the front or rear side sen-sors, or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle, it may not be detected
until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the side sensors or
side cameras completely scan the
areas along the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side cameras, but then leaves the detec-tion area of the side sensors or side
cameras, the system will assume the object has not moved.
WARNING
■Object warning function
In situations such as the following, the function may not operate correctly,
possibly leading to an accident. Pro- ceed carefully.

WARNING
●When starting off shortly after the power switch is turned to ON and a
small vehicle or other object which cannot be detected by a front side sensor is next to the vehicle.
In the situation shown in the following
illustration, even if the vehicle starts
off, the vehicle on the left will not be
detected and the object warning func-
tion will not operate.
●When an object or person is in a position which cannot be detected
by the side sensors or side cam- eras.
●When, after the side sensors have completed scanning the areas along the sides of the vehicle, a
vehicle, person, or other object approaches the side of the vehicle and cannot be detected.
RCTA (Rear Crossing
Traffic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM radar sensors installed
on the inner side of the posi-
tion above the rear bumper.
This function is intended to
assist the driver in checking
areas that are not easily visible
when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surroundings
and driving safely. ( P.270)

PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the follow-
ing functions that operate
when driving at a low speed or
backing up, such as when
parking. When the system
determines that the possibility
of a collision with a detected
object is high, a warning oper-
ates to urge the driver to take
evasive action. If the system
determines that the possibility
of a collision with a detected
object is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.

Brake) system
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the vehi- cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road
conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors
and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro-
vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intention-
ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake
In the following situations, disable the Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free roller

NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-played on the multi-information
display and the PKSB OFF indi- cator is on
If this message is displayed immedi-
ately after the power switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your sur-
roundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before the system returns to
normal. (If the system is not return to normal after driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surrounding
area on the bumpers.)

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

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.

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.
