PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)

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

●

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,

dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,

from the sensor to return the system to

normal.

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 only when the

shift lever is in R, the rear camera lens

may be dirty. Clean the camera lens. If

this message is displayed when the shift

lever is in any position other than R, a sen-

sor 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 displayed

even after cleaning the sensor, or is dis-

played even though the sensor is clean,

have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus

dealer.

●

If the area around a radar sensor is

subjected to an impact, the system

may not operate properly due to a

sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■

Handling the suspension

Do not modify the suspension, as

changes to the height or inclination of the

vehicle may prevent the sensors from

detecting objects correctly or cause the

system to not operate or operate unnec-

essarily.

■

If the Parking Support Brake function

(static objects) operates unnecessar-

ily, such as at a railroad crossing

In the event that the Parking Support

Brake function (static objects) operates

unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-

ing, brake control will be canceled after

approximately 2 seconds, allowing you

to proceed forward and leave the area,

brake control can also be canceled by

depressing the brake pedal. Depressing

the accelerator pedal after brake control

is canceled will allow you to proceed for-

ward and leave the area.

■

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.209) Therefore, even if the intu-

itive parking assist detects an object and

provides a warning, the Parking Support

Brake function (static objects) may not start

operating.

■

Objects that the Parking Support Brake

function (static objects) may not detect

The sensors may not be able to detect cer-

tain objects, such as the following:

●

Pedestrian

●

Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials

that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic

waves

●

Objects which are not perpendicular to

the ground, are not perpendicular to the

traveling direction of the vehicle, are

uneven or are waving

●

Low objects

●

Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes

and signposts

●

Objects that are extremely close to the

bumper

Regardless of whether the intuitive parking

assist system is enabled or not (

P.206), if

the Parking Support Brake function (static

objects) is enabled (

P.219), the front or

rear sensors detect an object and brake

control is performed, the intuitive parking

assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver

of the approximate distance to the object.
