PKSB (Parking Support Brake)^{* *}If equipped The PKSB (Parking Support Brake) is a system that issues warnings and automatically performs braking to help reduce collision damage with operation targets that were detected when traveling at a low speed such as when parking. PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system The system has detected the following as operation targets. (The operation targets vary depending on the function.) Parking Support Brake function (static objects front and rear of the vehicle): Parking Support Brake function (static objects front and rear of the vehicle)* Parking Support Brake function (moving vehicles rear of the vehicle): Parking Support Brake function (moving vehicles rear of the vehicle)* Parking Support Brake function (pedestrians rear of the vehicle): Parking Support Brake function (pedestrians rear of the vehicle)* 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, 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 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 If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load When equipment such as a towing hook, transport hook, bumper protector, bumper trim, bicycle carrier or snow-removal device (snow plow) is installed near the sensor 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 tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used. When towing with the vehicle Precautions for the suspension Do not modify the suspension of the vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehicle is changed, the sensors may not be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident. Switches PKSB (Parking Support Brake) switch Enabling/Disabling the Parking Support Brake The Parking Support Brake function can be enabled/disabled through a customize setting. (Customizable features) When the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) is disabled, the driving assist information indicator (Indicators) illuminates, and a message is displayed on the multi-information display. If the system switches to OFF (disabled) and the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) is stopped, the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) will not be re-enabled until ON (enabled) is selected again from the customize setting (Customizable features).(It remains off even if the power switch is turned to ON again after the power switch has been turned off.) Display and buzzer for hybrid system output restriction control and brake control If the hybrid system output restriction control or brake control operates, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the Multimedia Display and multi-information display, to alert the driver. Depending on the situation, output restriction control operates to either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible. Hybrid system output restriction control is operating (acceleration restriction) Acceleration greater than a certain amount is restricted by the system. Multimedia Display: No warning displayed Multi-information display: “Object Detected Acceleration Reduced” Driving assist information indicator: Not illuminated Buzzer: Does not sound Hybrid system output restriction control is operating (output restricted as much as possible) The system has determined that stronger-than-normal brake operation is necessary. Multimedia Display (vehicles with a panoramic view monitor or Toyota parking assist monitor with RCD [Rear Camera Detection]): A display urging to operate the brakes Multi-information display: A display urging to operate the brakes Driving assist information indicator: Not illuminated Buzzer: Short beep Brake control is operating The system determined that emergency braking is necessary. Multimedia Display (vehicles with a panoramic view monitor or Toyota parking assist monitor with RCD [Rear Camera Detection]): A display urging to operate the brakes Multi-information display: A display urging to operate the brakes Driving assist information indicator: Not illuminated Buzzer: Short beep Vehicle stopped by system operation The vehicle has been stopped by brake control operation. Multimedia Display (vehicles with a panoramic view monitor or Toyota parking assist monitor with RCD [Rear Camera Detection]): “Switch to Brake” Multi-information display: “Accelerator Pedal is Pressed Press Brake Pedal” If the accelerator pedal is not depressed, “Press Brake Pedal” will be displayed. Driving assist information indicator: Illuminated Buzzer: Sounds repeatedly System overview If the Parking Support Brake determines that a collision with a detected object or pedestrian is possible, the hybrid system output will be restricted to restrain any increase in the vehicle speed. (Hybrid system output restriction control: See figure 2 below.) 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.) Figure 1: When the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) is not operating Hybrid system output Braking force Time Figure 2: When hybrid system output restriction control operates Hybrid system output Braking force Time Hybrid system output restriction control begins operating (System determines that possibility of collision with detected object is high) Figure 3: When hybrid system output restriction control and brake control operates Hybrid system output Braking force Time Hybrid system output restriction control begins operating (System determines that possibility of collision with detected object is high) Brake control begins operating (System determines that possibility of collision with detected object is extremely high) Note: If the Parking Support Brake has operated If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Parking Support Brake, the Parking Support Brake will be disabled and the driving assist information indicator will illuminate. In addition, even when the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) operates, the brake control is canceled after approximately 2 seconds to start off. Furthermore, the brake control also can be canceled by depressing the brake pedal. Depressing the accelerator pedal again after that allows the vehicle to start off. Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake To re-enable the Parking Support Brake when it is disabled due to operation of the PKSB (Parking Support Brake), either enable the system again, or turn the power switch off and then back to ON. Additionally, if any of the following conditions are met, the system will be re-enabled automatically and the driving assist information indicator will turn off (Indicators) : The P shift position is selected Drive with no operation targets in the traveling direction of the vehicle Change the traveling direction of the vehicle Buzzer Regardless of whether the intuitive parking assist sensor is enabled or not (Turning the intuitive parking assist function ON/OFF), if the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system is enabled (Enabling/Disabling the Parking Support Brake), the buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approximate distance to the object when the brake control and the hybrid system output restriction control are operated.
