RCTA (Rear Crossing Traffic
Alert) function

The RCTA function uses the BSM
rear side radar sensors installed on
the inner side of 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 recogni-

tion accuracy and control performance

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. (

Hearing the RCTA buzzer

The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to hear

over loud noises, such as if the audio system

volume is high.

When “RCTA Unavailable” is shown on

the multi-information display

Ice, water, snow, mud, etc., may be attached

to the rear bumper around the sensors.

attached to the rear bumper around the

sensors to return the function to normal.
Additionally, the function may not operate

normally when used in extremely hot or

cold environments.

Rear side radar sensors

P.276

Operation of the RCTA function

The RCTA function uses rear side
radar sensors to detect vehicles
approaching from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and alerts the
driver of the presence of such vehicles
by flashing the outside rear view mirror
indicators and sounding a buzzer.

increase in the following situations:

When the parking space faces a street

and vehicles are being driven on the

street.

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 is high, a
warning operates 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 collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.

PKSB (Parking Support 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 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.

294

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-infor-
mation display. All of the Parking Sup-
port Brake functions (static objects and
rear crossing vehicles) are
enabled/disabled simultaneously.
Use the meter control switches to
enable/disable the parking support
brake. (

Press

to select

and

then press “OK”.

When the Parking Support Brake is dis-

abled, the PKSB OFF indicator (



P.96)

illuminates on the multi-information dis-

play.
When the Parking Support Brake is turned

on or off, operation of the Parking Support

Brake continues in the same condition the

next time the hybrid system is started.

If the hybrid system output restriction con-
trol or brake control operates, a buzzer
will sound and a message will be displayed
on the Center Display (Panoramic view
monitor) and multi-information display, to
alert the driver. On vehicles with head-up
display, the head-up display will display the
same message as the multi-information
display.
Depending on the situation, hybrid system
output restriction control will operate to
either limit acceleration or restrict output

WARNING

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 the vehicle is driven in a sporty

manner or off-road.

When the tires are not properly

inflated.

When the tires are very worn.

When tire chains, a compact spare tire

or an emergency tire puncture repair

kit are used.

NOTICE

If “Parking Support Brake Unavail-

able” is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display and the PKSB OFF

indicator is flashing

If this message is displayed immediately

after the power switch is changed to ON,

operate the vehicle carefully, paying

attention to your surroundings. It may be

necessary to drive the vehicle for a cer-

tain amount of time before the system

returns to normal. (If the system does not

return to normal after driving for a while,

clean the sensors and their surrounding

area on the bumpers.)

approximately 2 seconds for it to automati-

cally be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be

operated by depressing 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.294), or turn the power

switch off and then back to ON. Addition-

ally, 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 moving

forward), the system will be re-enabled

automatically.

the sensors and their surrounding area on

the bumpers.

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”

snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return

the system to normal. If this message is

shown even after removing dirt from the

sensor, or shown when the sensor was

not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle

inspected by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer.

A sensor may be frozen. Once the ice

melts, the system will return to normal.

Water may be continuously flowing over

the sensor surface, such as in a heavy

rain. When the system determines that it

is normal, the system will return to nor-

mal.

If a 12-volt battery terminal has been

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

: If equipped

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

Parking Support Brake
function (static objects)

If the sensors detect a static object,
such as a wall, in the traveling direc-
tion of the vehicle and the system
determines that a collision may
occur due to the vehicle suddenly
moving forward due to an acciden-
tal accelerator pedal operation, the
vehicle moving the unintended
direction due to the wrong shift
position 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.
