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. (

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 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.

●

During emergency towing
