■

The system can be operated

when

●

The power 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.

■

If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-

sor” 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 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 sys-

tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed

even if the sensor is clean, there

may be a sensor malfunction. Have

the vehicle inspected by your

Toyota dealer.

■

If “Parking Assist Unavailable”

is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation 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 sys-

tem will return to normal.

■

Sensor detection information

●

The sensor’s detection areas are

limited to the areas around the

vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.

●

Depending on the shape of the

object and other factors, the

detection distance may shorten,

or detection may be impossible.

●

Detection may be impossible if

static objects draw too close to the

sensor.

●

There will be a short delay

between static object detection

and display (warning buzzer

sounds). Even at low speeds,

there is a possibility that the object

will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)

before the display is shown and

the warning buzzer sounds.

●

It might be difficult to hear the

buzzer due to the volume of the

WARNING

■

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.

above.

●

A non-genuine Toyota suspen-

sion (lowered suspension, etc.)

is installed.

■

Notes when washing the vehi-

cle

Do not apply intensive bursts of

water or steam to the sensor

area.
Doing so may result in the sensor

malfunctioning.

●

When using a high pressure

washer to wash the vehicle, do

not spray the sensors directly,

as doing so may cause a sensor

to malfunction.

●

When using steam to clean the

vehicle, do not direct steam too

close to the sensors as doing so

may cause a sensor to malfunc-

tion.

It may be difficult to hear the

sound of this system due to the

buzzers of other systems.

■

Objects which the system may

not properly detect

The shape of the object may pre-

vent the sensor from detecting it.

Pay particular attention to the fol-

lowing objects:

●

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

●

Cotton, snow and other materials

that absorb sound waves

●

Sharply-angled objects

●

projecting outwards in the direc-

tion of your vehicle

People may not be detected if they

are wearing certain types of cloth-

ing.

■

Situations in which the system

may not operate properly

Certain vehicle conditions and the

surrounding environment may affect

the ability of a sensor to correctly

detect objects. Particular instances

where this may occur are listed

below.

●

There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen-

sor. (Cleaning the sensors will

resolve this problem.)

●

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the

area will resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a

sensor is frozen the sensor dis-

play may be displayed abnor-

mally, or objects, such as a wall,

may not be detected.

●

When a sensor or the area around

a sensor is extremely hot or cold.

●

On an extremely bumpy road, on

an incline, on gravel, or on grass.

clothing that does not reflect ultra-

sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-

ers or frills).

●

When objects that are not perpen-

dicular to the ground, not perpen-

dicular 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.

Even when the sensors are
operating, the buzzer will be
muted in some situations.
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)

■

Muting the buzzer sound

●

Automatic buzzer mute function

Even when the sensors are operat-
ing, the buzzer will be muted in the
following situations:
• The distance between the vehicle

and the detected object does not

become shorter (except when the

distance between the vehicle and

object is 1.0 ft. [30 cm] or less).

• Your vehicle is moving away from

the object.

• There are no detectable objects

entering the path of your vehicle.

However, if another object is
detected or the situation changes
while the buzzer is muted, the
buzzer begins sounding again.

●

To mute the buzzer sound

The buzzer can be temporarily

muted by pressing

of the meter

control switches while a suggestion
that says mute is available is shown
on the multi-information display.

●

When the mute is canceled

Mute will be automatically canceled
in the following situations.
• When the shift position is changed

• When the vehicle speed has

reached or exceeded a certain

speed

• When the Intuitive parking assist

is turned off once and turned on

again

• When the power switch is turned

to OFF once and turned to ON

again

PKSB (Parking Sup-

port Brake)

The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a collision
with a detected object is
high, a warning operates to
urge the driver to take eva-
sive action. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a collision with a
detected object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically 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 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. Addition-

ally, even if the system has

stopped the vehicle, it is neces-

sary to depress the brake pedal

immediately as brake control

will be canceled after approxi-

mately 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.

296

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The Parking Support Brake can
be enabled/disabled on the

screen of the multi-information
display. All of the Parking Sup-
port Brake functions (static
objects and rear-crossing vehi-
cles) are enabled/disabled
simultaneously. (



P.106, 117)

When the Parking Support Brake is
disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator
(
