4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

Do not overly rely on the system,

as doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.
Always drive while checking the

safety of the surroundings of the

vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and

road conditions, weather, etc., the

system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sen-

sors 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 sys-

tem is not designed to stop the

vehicle completely. Additionally,

even if the system has stopped

the vehicle, it is necessary to

depress the brake pedal imme-

diately 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 colli-

sion.

●

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 additional trim

strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or

snow plow

●

When using automatic car

washing devices

●

If the vehicle cannot be driven in

a stable manner, such as when

the vehicle has been in an acci-

dent or is malfunctioning

●

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 sen-

sor at low temperatures, a warn-

ing 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 continues to be

displayed even after cleaning the

sensor, or is displayed even

though the sensor is clean, have

the vehicle inspected by your Toy-

ota dealer.

■

If a 12-volt battery terminal has

been disconnected and recon-

nected

The system needs to be initialized.

To initialize the system, drive the

vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds

or more at a speed of approximately

22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

This function will operate in situ-
ations such as the following if an
object is detected in the travel-
ing direction of the vehicle.

Parking Support Brake

function (static

objects)

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 vehi-
cle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental
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.
