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.

To ensure the system can operate 

properly

Observe the following precautions. 

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle 

being unable to be driven safely and pos-

sibly cause an accident.

Do not damage the sensors, and 

always keep them clean.

Do not attach a sticker or install an 

electronic component, such as a back-

lit license plate (especially fluorescent 

type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-

less antenna near a radar sensor.

Do not subject the surrounding area of 

the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-

jected to an impact, have the vehicle 

inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the 

front or rear bumper needs to be 

removed/installed or replaced, con-

tact your Lexus dealer.

Do not modify, disassemble or paint 

the sensors.

Do not attach a license plate cover.

Keep your tires properly inflated.

When to disable the function

In the following situations, disable the 

function as it may operate even though 

there is no possibility of a collision.

Failing to observe the warnings above.

A non-genuine Lexus suspension 

(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.

Notes when washing the vehicle

Do not apply intensive bursts of water or 

steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-

functioning.

When using a high pressure washer to 

wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-

sors directly, as doing so may cause a 

sensor to malfunction.

220

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The system can be operated when

The engine switch is in ON.

Intuitive parking assist function is on.

The vehicle speed is less than about 6 

mph (10 km/h).

The shift lever is in a position other than P.

Setting the buzzer volume

The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the 

multi-information display. (

P.217)

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean 

Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on 

the multi-information display

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, 

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

from the sensor to return the system to nor-

mal.
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 “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-

played on the multi-information display

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.

Initialization may not have been per-

formed after a battery terminal was dis-

connected and reconnected. Initialize the 

system. (

P.220)

If this message continues to be displayed 
even after initialization, 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.

Sensor detection information

The sensor’s detection areas are limited 

to the areas around the vehicle’s front 

and rear bumpers.

The following situations may occur 

during use.

• Depending on the shape of the object 

and other factors, the detection distance 

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• There will be a short delay between 

object detection and display. Even at low 

speeds, there is a possibility that the 

object will come within the sensor’s 

detection areas before the display is 

shown and the warning beep sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due 

to the volume of the audio system or air 

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if 

buzzers for other systems are sounding.

Objects which the system may not prop-

erly detect

The shape of the object may prevent the 

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular 

attention to the following objects:

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

Cotton, snow and other materials that 

absorb sound waves

Sharply-angled objects

Low objects

Tall objects with upper sections project-

ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-

cle

People may not be detected if they are 

wearing certain types of clothing.

Situations in which the system may not 

operate properly

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-

rounding environment may affect the ability 

of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-

ticular instances where this may occur are 

listed below.

There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. 

(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this 

WARNING

When using steam to clean the vehi-

cle, do not direct steam too close to 

the sensors as doing so may cause a 

sensor to malfunction.

to the ground, not perpendicular to the 

vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or 

waving are in the detection range.

Strong wind is blowing.

When driving in inclement weather such 

as fog, snow or a sandstorm.

When an object that cannot be detected 

is between the vehicle and a detected 

object.

If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, 

bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the 

vehicle or runs out from the side of the 

vehicle.

If the orientation of a sensor has been 

changed due to a collision or other 

impact.

When equipment that may obstruct a 

sensor is installed, such as a towing eye-

let, bumper protector (an additional trim 

strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow.

If the front of the vehicle is raised or low-

ered due to the carried load.

Buzzer operation and distance to 
an object

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are 
operating.

The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-
cle approaches an object. When the 
vehicle comes within the following 
distance of the object, the buzzer 
sounds continuously:

Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)

When 2 or more objects are 
detected simultaneously, the buzzer 
sounds for the nearest object. If one 
or more objects come within 
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the 
vehicle, the buzzer will repeat a long 
tone, followed by fast beeps.

Automatic buzzer mute function: 
After a buzzer begins sounding, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and the detected object does not 
become shorter, the buzzer will be 
muted automatically. (However, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and object is 1.0 ft. [30 cm] or less, 
this function will not operate.)

The buzzer sounds volume can be 
adjusted. (

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.

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 sur-

roundings of the vehicle. Depending on 

the vehicle and road conditions, 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.

232

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

When the Parking Support Brake is dis-

abled, the PKSB OFF indicator (

P.68) 

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 engine is started.

If the engine output restriction control or 
brake control operates, a buzzer will 
sound and a message will be displayed on 
the 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, engine output 
restriction control will operate to either 
limit acceleration or restrict output as 
much as possible.

Engine output restriction control is 
operating (acceleration restriction)

Acceleration greater than a certain 
amount is restricted by the system.
Multi-information display: “Object 
Detected Acceleration Reduced”

WARNING

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 engine switch is changed to 

ON, operate the vehicle carefully, pay-

ing attention to your surroundings. It may 

be necessary to drive the vehicle for a 

certain 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.)

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. If the 

Parking Support Brake operates unneces-

sarily, brake control can be canceled by 

depressing the brake pedal or waiting for 

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.232), or turn the engine 

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.

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable” 

is displayed on the multi-information 

display and the PKSB OFF indicator is 

flashing

If this message is displayed, a sensor on the 

front or rear bumper may be dirty. Clean 

the sensors and their surrounding area on 

the bumpers.

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable” 

and “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean 

Parking Assist Sensor” are displayed on 

the multi-information display and the 

PKSB OFF indicator is flashing

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, 

dirt, etc. In this case, remove the ice, 

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 at your Lexus dealer.

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 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
