WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

Do not overly rely on the system, as

doing so may lead to an accident. Always

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, weather, etc., the system may not

operate.

The detection capabilities of sensors,

radars and camera 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 surroundings.

The PKSB (Parking Support Brake)

system is designed to provide support

to lessen the severity of collisions.

However, it may not operate in some

situations.

●

The PKSB (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 PKSB (Parking

Support Brake) system

In the following situations, disable the

PKSB (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 a tire chains or compact spare

tire is used

●

When your vehicle is towing a trailer

or during emergency towing

■

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 lead-

ing to an accident.

: If equipped

The Advanced Park is a system which
assists in a safe and smooth parking or
exiting from a parking space by dis-
playing the blind spots around the vehi-
cle and the target parking spot through
a bird’s eye view, delivering operation
guidance through displays and buzzer
operation, and changing the shift posi-
tion, operating the steering wheel,
accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view moni-
tor

can display the area in front,

behind, and from above the vehicle,
helping confirm the condition of the
area around the vehicle.
The turn signal lights will blink automat-
ically when the parking assistance
starts until the vehicle reaches the tar-
get parking spot, to notify people
around the vehicle that parking is being
performed.

Depending on the condition of the road
surface or the vehicle, the distance
between the vehicle and a parking space,
etc., it may not be possible to assist in park-
ing in the target space.

WARNING

●

Depending on the condition of the

road surface or the vehicle, the dis-

tance between the vehicle and a park-

ing space, etc., it may not be possible

to detect a parking space or the sys-

tem may not be able to provide assis-

tance to the point the vehicle is fully

parked.

●

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

shift 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.

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,

it may take time for the system to start,

due to 12-volt battery charging.

●

If the 12-volt battery voltage drops,

assistance will be canceled.

●

When using Remote control function

on a slope, the vehicle speed will be

slower and the distance that the vehi-

cle will approach objects will become

longer than when on a level road sur-

face.

●

If a system temporary failure occurs,

after the vehicle is stopped by the elec-

tronic parking brake or the shift posi-

tion being shifted to P, the power

switch may turn off and the system may

be canceled. In this case, have the

vehicle inspected by your Lexus

dealer.
