Parking Support Brake

Purpose of the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system

The PKSB (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 determines that the probability of a collision with a detected object is
high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action.

■

Parking assist function

The system can detect the following as detectable objects. (Detectable objects
differ depending on the function.)

●

Static Objects Front and Rear of the vehicle

●

Moving Vehicles Rear of the Vehicle

●

Pedestrians Rear of the Vehicle

●

Static Objects Around the vehicle (vehicles with Advanced Park)

PKSB (Parking Support Brake) system

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 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 com-
pletely. 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 approxi-
mately 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.

correctly, possibly leading to an accident.

■

System overview

If the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) determines that a collision with a detected
object or pedestrian is possible, the hybrid system output will be restricted to re-
strain any increase in the vehicle speed. (Hybrid system output restriction control:
See figure 2.) 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.)

location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first
detected by the front or rear side sensors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the
power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle,
it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the
side sensors or side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the
vehicle.

●

If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is detected by a side sensors or side cameras,
but then leaves the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, the
system will assume the object has not moved.
