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 a collision with a
detected object or pedestrian is
high, a warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive action. If
the system determines that the pos-
sibility 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 colli-
sion.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

Do not overly rely on the system, as

doing so may lead to an accident. Always

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, weather, etc., the system may not

operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors,

radars and camera are limited. Always

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

●

Do not attempt to test the operation of

this system by driving the vehicle

toward another vehicle, a person or

detected object, as it may not operate

properly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent.

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive carefully, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

The Parking Support Brake system is

designed to provide 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 com-

pletely. Additionally, even if the system

has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary

to depress the brake pedal immedi-

ately as brake control will be canceled

after approximately 2 seconds.

●

It is extremely dangerous to check the

system operations by intentionally

driving the vehicle into the direction of

a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
