Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake

To re-enable the Parking Support Brake

when it has been disabled due to operation

of the Parking Support Brake, either enable

the system again (



P.301), or turn the

power switch off and then back to ON

mode.
Additionally, if any of the following condi-

tions are met, the system will be re-enabled

automatically and the PKSB OFF indicator

will turn off:

●

●

The object is no longer detected in the

traveling direction of the vehicle

●

The traveling direction of the vehicle
changes

: Except when the Parking Support Brake

function (rear pedestrians) operated.

■

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”

is displayed on the multi-information

display

●

If this message is displayed only when the

R shift position is selected, the rear cam-

era lens may be dirty. Clean the camera

lens. If this message is displayed when the

shift position is any position 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.

●

Initialization may not have been per-

formed after a 12-volt battery terminal

was disconnected and reconnected. Ini-

tialize the system. (



P.304)

If this message continues to be displayed

even after initialization, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”

and “Parking Assist Unavailable” are

displayed on the multi-information dis-

play

Water may be continuously flowing over the

sensor surface, such as in a heavy rain.

When the system determines that it is nor-

mal, the system will return to normal.

■

If “Parking Support Brake Unavailable”

and “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” are

displayed on the multi-information dis-

play

●

A sensor may be covered with water

drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the

water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

The recognition and control capabilities

for this system are limited. Do not overly

rely on this system. The driver is always

responsible for paying attention to the

vehicle’ surroundings and driving safely.

●

As with a normal vehicle, take care to

observe your surroundings while the

vehicle is moving.

●

Always pay attention to the vehicle’s

surroundings while the system is oper-

ating.

●

When parking, make sure that the

vehicle can be parked in the target

parking space before beginning oper-

ation.

LEXUS LS500h Owner's Manual

WARNING

●

The Advanced Park is a system which

provides assistance in parking in a set

parking space. Depending on the con-

dition of the road surface or the vehi-

cle, the distance between the vehicle

and a parking space, etc., it may not be

possible to detect a parking space or

the system may not be able to provide

assistance to the point the vehicle is

fully parked.

●

The Advanced Park is a system which

supports the driver when parking and

leaving a parking space. While check-

ing the safety of the area around the

vehicle, make sure to depress the

brake pedal as necessary to slow or

stop the vehicle.

●

This system will guide the vehicle to

appropriate positions for changing the

direction of travel, however, if you feel

that the vehicle is approaching too

close to an adjacent parked vehicle at

any time, depress the brake pedal and

change the shift position. However, if

this is performed, the number of times

the vehicle changes direction may

increase, and the vehicle may be

parked at an angle.

●

As following objects may not be

detected, make sure to check the

safety of the area around your vehicle

and depress the brake pedal to stop

the vehicle if it may collide with an

object.

• Thin objects such as wire, fences, rope,

etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that

absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low objects (curb stones, parking

blocks, etc.)

• Tall objects with upper sections that

protrude outward

●

Even if there is an object in the target

parking space, it may not be detected

and assistance may be performed.

●

While the system is operating, if it is

likely that your vehicle will collide with

a nearby vehicle, parking block, object,

or person, depress the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle and press the

Advanced Park main switch to disable

the system.

●

Never use only the Center Display to

view the area behind the vehicle. The

image displayed may differ than the

actual situation. Using only the screen

when backing up may lead to an acci-

dent, such as a collision with another

vehicle. When backing up, make sure

to look directly or use the mirrors to

check the safety of the area around

your vehicle, especially behind the

vehicle.

●

When the ambient temperature is

extremely low, the screen may appear

dark or the displayed image may

become unclear. Also, as moving

objects may appear distorted or may

not be able to be seen on the screen,

make sure to directly check the safety

of the area around your vehicle.

●

As the steering wheel will turn while

this system is operating, pay attention

to the following.

• Be careful so that a necktie, scarf, or

arm does not get caught. Keep your

upper body away from the steering

wheel. Also, keep children away from

the steering wheel.

• Long fingernails may be caught and

when the steering wheel is rotating,

leading to injury.

• In an emergency, depress the brake

pedal to stop the vehicle, and then

press the Advanced Park main switch

to disable the system.
