parking brake, shift the shift lever to P and make sure that the vehicle does not move.
■When the system malfunctions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check the warning messages.
■When the parking brake cannot be released due to a malfunction
Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake set will lead to brake compo- nents overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase
brake wear.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.
Brake Hold
The brake hold system keeps
the brake applied when the
shift lever is in D, B or N with
the system on and the brake
pedal has been depressed to

operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering. • A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■ECB operating sound
ECB operating sound may be heard in the following cases, but it does not indi-cate that a malfunction has occurred.
●Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is operated.
●Motor sound of the brake system
heard from the front part of the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened.
●Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when one or two minutes passed after the stop of the
hybrid system.
■Active Cornering Assist operation sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra- tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations:
●When the power switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases.If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active Cor-
nering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid sys- tem off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of emergency

When the following conditions are met, the emergency brake signal will oper-
ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h (35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that it is a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can-
celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak- ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat-ing cancelation
The system operates when the SRS air- bag sensor detects a collision while the
