PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)

*

The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the follow-
ing 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 oper-
ates 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 colli-
sion 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 vehi-

cle.
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 sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

●

The driver is solely responsible for

safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your sur-

roundings. The Parking Support

Brake system is designed to pro-
vide 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
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 intention-
ally driving the vehicle into the

direction of a wall, etc. Never

attempt such actions.

■

When to disable the Parking Sup-

port 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 modi-

fied 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 tow-
ing 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 accident or

is malfunctioning

●

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 a tire chains, compact spare
tire or an emergency tire puncture

repair kit is used

NOTICE

If this message is displayed immedi-

carefully, paying attention to your sur-

roundings. It may be necessary to

If the Parking Support Brake has

operated

If the vehicle is stopped due to operation
of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-

ing Support Brake will be disabled and

the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate. If
the Parking Support Brake operates

unnecessarily, brake control can be can-

celed by depressing the brake pedal or
waiting for approximately 2 seconds for

it to automatically be canceled. Then,

the vehicle can be operated by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.

■

Re-enabling the Parking Support

Brake

To re-enable the Parking Support Brake
when it is disabled due to operation of

the Parking Support Brake, either

enable the system again (



P.291), or

turn the engine switch off and then back

to ON. 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 mov-

ing forward), the system will be re-
enabled automatically.

■

If “PKSB Unavailable” is displayed

on the multi-information display

and the PKSB OFF indicator is on

If the vehicle is stopped due to operation

of the Parking Support Brake, the Park-

ing Support Brake will be disabled and
the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate.

●

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 nor-
mal.

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 system will return to
normal.

●

If this message is displayed, a sensor
on the front or rear bumper may be

dirty. Clean the sensors and their sur-

rounding area on the bumpers.

●

If this message continues to be dis-

played even after cleaning the sensor,
or is displayed even though the sen-

sor is clean, have the vehicle

inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.

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 vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an
accidental accelerator pedal operation, the vehicle moving the unin-
tended 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.

Each time the switch is pressed,
the system changes between
power mode, normal mode, and
ECO drive mode.

1

Normal mode

Provides an optimal balance of fuel
economy, quietness, and dynamic per-
formance. Suitable for normal driving.

2

Power mode

Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration.
Making it suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driv-
ing on roads with many curves.
When the power mode is selected,
power mode indicator comes on.

3

Eco drive mode

Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-
friendly manner and improve fuel econ-
omy through moderate throttle charac-

teristics and by controlling the operation
of the air conditioning system (heat-
ing/cooling).
When the Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes on.

■

Operation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode

Eco drive mode controls the heat-

ing/cooling operations and fan speed of

system

The effectiveness of the EPS system is

reduced to prevent the system from

overheating when there is frequent
steering input over an extended period

of time. The steering wheel may feel

heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or

stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.

The EPS system should return to nor-
mal within 10 minutes.
