PKSB (Parking Support Brake)



: If equipped

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 determines that the
possibility of a collision 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 colli-
sion.

operation of the Parking Support Brake function, either enable the system
again (



P. 361), or turn the engine switch off and then back to IGNITION ON

mode.

Additionally, 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.

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 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, tak-

ing care to observe your surroundings. The Parking Support Brake system

is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. How-

ever, it may not operate in some situations.

●

The Parking Support Brake system 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 immediately 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

●
