If the Parking Support Brake determines that a collision with a
detected object is possible, the engine output will be restricted to
restrain any increase in the vehicle speed. (Engine output restriction
control: See figure 2.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal continues to be depressed, the
brakes will be applied automatically to reduce the vehicle speed.
(Brake control: See figure 3.)

If the Parking Support Brake

has operated

If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-

ation of the Parking Support Brake,

the Parking Support Brake will be

disabled and the PKSB OFF indica-

tor will illuminate. If the Parking Sup-

port Brake operates unnecessarily,

brake control can be canceled by

depressing the brake pedal or wait-

ing for approximately 2 seconds for

it to automatically be canceled.

Then, the vehicle can be operated

by depressing the accelerator pedal.

Re-enabling the Parking Sup-

port Brake

To re-enable the Parking Support

Brake when it has been disabled

due to system operation perform

any of the following operations.
At this time, the PKSB OFF indicator

will turn off. (

Turn the PKSB (Parking Support

Brake) on (

the vehicle

If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis-

played on the multi-information

display and the PKSB OFF indi-

cator is flashing

If this message is displayed only

when the shift lever is in any posi-

tion other than R, a sensor on the

front or rear bumper may be dirty.

Clean the sensors and their sur-

rounding area on the bumpers.

If “PKSB Unavailable” and

“Parking Support Brake

Unavailable Remove the Dirt of

Rear Camera” is displayed on

the multi-information display

and the PKSB OFF indicator is

flashing

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.

If this message is shown even

after removing dirt from the sen-

sor, or shown when the sensor

was not dirty to begin with, have

the vehicle inspected by your Toy-

ota dealer.

A sensor may be frozen. Once the

ice melts, the system will return to

normal.

Water may be continuously flow-

ing over the sensor surface, such

as in a heavy rain. When the sys-

tem determines that it is normal,

the system will return to normal.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

If a battery terminal has been

disconnected and reconnected

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.

Parking Support Brake function (static objects)

*

If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the trav-
elling direction of the vehicle and the system determines that
a collision may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental accelerator pedal operation, the
vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong
shift lever position, 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.

traveling direction of the vehicle.

Detection range of the Parking

Support Brake function (static

objects)

The detection range of the Parking

Support Brake function (static

objects) differs from the detection

range of the intuitive parking assist.

(

P.290) Therefore, even if the intu-

itive parking assist detects an object

and provides a warning, the Parking

Support Brake function (static

objects) may not start operating.

Multi-terrain Select

(AWD models)

Multi-terrain Select is a sys-
tem that improves drivabil-
ity in off-road situations.

When driving over muddy,
sandy or rough road sur-
faces, the system selects a
suitable driving mode to
switch AWD, brake and
drive force control to per-
form control suitable for the
road condition.

WARNING

Before using Multi-terrain

Select

Make sure to observe the follow-

ing precautions. Failure to

observe these precautions may

result in an unexpected accident.

Check that the Mud & Sand and

Rock & Dirt indicators are illumi-

nated before driving. Multi-ter-

rain Select will not operate

when the indicators are off.

Do not rely solely upon the

Multi-terrain Select. This func-

tion is not intended to expand

the limits of the vehicle. If the

system is continuously used for

a long period of time, the load

on related parts increases and

the system may be unable to

operate normally, which may

lead to an accident. Thoroughly

check the road conditions and

driving route before driving, and

drive with caution.

tance such as sandy roads,
muddy roads, etc.

Rock & Dirt mode

Suitable for driving in bumpy
road conditions, such as on
unpaved forest roads.

Normal mode

Mode that performs AWD, brake
and drive force control suitable for
driving on general roads. Use nor-
mal mode when not driving
off-road.
The driving mode returns to normal
mode if the switch is pressed while

Multi-terrain Select

Multi-terrain Select is intended for

use when driving on rough roads.

Drive in normal mode during nor-

mal driving.

The Mud & Sand and Rock & Dirt

modes control the vehicle so that

it can maximize the drive force

and improve drivability on rough

roads. As a result, fuel efficiency

may diminish when compared to

driving in normal mode.

If Mud & Sand or Rock & Dirt

mode is selected

The background of the multi-infor-

mation display will change follow-

ing the Multi-terrain Select mode.

The AWD operation status display

will automatically switch on the

multi-information display.

AWD control for Mud & Sand

and Rock & Dirt modes

If the vehicle speed exceeds the

speeds listed below, AWD control is

performed similar to that performed

in Normal mode, even if Mud &

Sand or Rock & Dirt mode is

selected.

Mud & Sand mode: Vehicle speed

is approximately 25 mph (40

km/h) or more

Rock & Dirt mode: Vehicle speed

is approximately 16 mph (25

km/h) or more

If the vehicle speed drops below the

above speeds, the system automati-

cally switches to the AWD control

suitable for each mode.

When Multi-terrain Select brake

control temporarily stops oper-

ating

If Mud & Sand or Rock & Dirt mode

is continuously used for a long

period of time, the brakes may over-

heat, and Multi-terrain Select brake

control may temporarily stop operat-

ing.

At this time, the buzzer sounds

intermittently and “Traction Con-

trol Turned OFF” is displayed on

the multi-information display.

If Multi-terrain Select brake control

stops operating, stop the vehicle

in a safe location as soon as pos-
sible

Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads

(ACA)

Helps to prevent the vehicle
from drifting to the outer side by
performing inner wheel brake
control when attempting to
