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.

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 vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, weather, etc., the system may not 

operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and 

radars are limited. Always drive while 

checking the safety of the surroundings 

of the vehicle.

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.

When to disable the Parking Support 

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

When loading the vehicle onto a boat, 

truck or other transport vessel

If the suspension has been modified or 

tires of a size other than specified are 

installed

If the front of the vehicle is raised or 

lowered due to the carried load

When equipment that may obstruct a 

sensor is installed, such as a towing 

eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-

tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, 

or snow plow

When using automatic car washing 

devices

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-

ble manner, such as when the vehicle 

has been in an accident or is malfunc-

tioning

when it is disabled due to operation of the 

Parking Support Brake, either enable the 

system again (

P.276), or turn the engine 

switch off and then back to ON.

Additionally, if any of the following condi-

tions are met, the system will be re-enabled

will turn off:

The P shift position is selected

The object is no longer detected in the 

traveling direction of the vehicle

The traveling direction of the vehicle 
changes

: Except when the Parking Support Brake 

function (Pedestrians Rear of the Vehi-
cle) operated.

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable” 

is displayed on the multi-information 

display and the PKSB OFF indicator is 

flashing

If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of 

the Parking Support Brake, the Parking 

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 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 

R shift position is selected, the rear cam-

era lens may be dirty. Clean the camera 

lens. If this message is displayed when the 

shift position is any position other than R, 

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 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 a battery terminal has been discon-

nected and reconnected

The system needs to be initialized. To initial-

ize the system, drive the vehicle straight 

ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of 

approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

This function will operate in situations such as the following if an object is detected 
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is 
depressed late

Parking Support Brake function (Static Objects Front and 
Rear of the Vehicle)

If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the traveling direction of 
the vehicle and the system determines that a collision may occur due to the 
vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal oper-
ation, the vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong shift posi-
tion being selected, or while parking or traveling at low speeds, the system will 
operate to lessen the impact with the detected static object and reduce the 
resulting damage.

The Parking Support Brake function 

(Static Objects Front and Rear of the 

Vehicle) will operate when

The function will operate when the PKSB 

OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing 

(

P.73, 75) and all of the following condi-

tions are met:

Engine output restriction control

• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.

• The vehicle speed is approximately 9 

mph (15 km/h) or less.

• There is a static object in the traveling 

direction of the vehicle and approxi-

mately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away.

• The Parking Support Brake determines 

that a stronger-than-normal brake oper-

ation is necessary to avoid a collision.

Brake control

• Engine output restriction control is oper-

ating

• The Parking Support Brake determines 

that an immediate brake operation is 

necessary to avoid a collision.

The Parking Support Brake function 

(Static Objects Front and Rear of the 

Vehicle) will stop operating when

The function will stop operating if any of the 

following conditions are met:

Engine output restriction control

• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.

• The system determines that the collision 

has become avoidable with normal brake 

operation.

• The static object is no longer approxi-

mately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the 

vehicle or in the traveling direction of the 

vehicle.

Brake control

• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.

• 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 control.

• The static object is no longer approxi-

mately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the 

vehicle or in the traveling direction of the 

vehicle.

Detection range of the Parking Support 

Brake function (Static Objects Front 

and Rear of the Vehicle)

The detection range of the Parking Support 

Brake function (Static Objects Front and 

Rear of the Vehicle) differs from the detec-

tion range of the intuitive parking assist. 

(

P.265) Therefore, even if the intuitive 

parking assist detects an object and pro-

vides a warning, the Parking Support Brake 

function (Static Objects Front and Rear of 

the Vehicle) may not start operating.

Situations in which the system may not 

operate properly

P.263

Situations in which the system may 

operate even if there is no possibility of a 

collision
