PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)

*

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 deter-
mines that the possibility of a colli-
sion with a detected object or
pedestrian is high, a warning oper-
ates to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action. If the system
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a detected object or
pedestrian is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision 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 vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, 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, 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 system is

not designed to stop the vehicle com-

pletely. Additionally, even if the system

has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary

to depress the brake pedal immedi-

ately 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.

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 addi-

tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,

or snow plow.

When using automatic car washing

devices.

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-

ble manner, such as when the vehicle

has been in an accident or is malfunc-

tioning.

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 tire chains, a compact spare tire

or an emergency tire puncture repair

kit are used.
