INFORMATION

■

Sensor detection information

●

The detection range of the sensors is limited to the areas around the vehicle’s bump-
ers.

●

Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a
sensor to correctly detect an object.

●

Objects may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.

●

There is a short delay between when an object is detected and when the display and
buzzer operate. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that an object will come
within the detection range before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds.

●

It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.

●

It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of other systems.

Intuitive parking assist object warning function (vehicles with Advanced
Park)

The object warning function informs the driver of the existence of objects along
the side of the vehicle, using a display and buzzer, if the objects are within the
estimated path of the vehicle.

Object

Calculated vehicle route

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can detect objects.
While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be detected by the
side sensors or side cameras, the location of the object relative to the vehicle is
estimated. If the object is determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the
object warning function will operate.

6-2. Using the safe driving support functions

474

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not
detected.

Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.

Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side sensors or
side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer sounds.

INFORMATION

■

Object warning function operating conditions

●

The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft. (7 m) after the hybrid system is started.

●

The R shift position is selected.

●

After the D shift position has been selected, the vehicle has moved 23.0 ft. (7 m) or
less.

●

Panoramic view main switch has been pressed and the center display is displayed.

●

The front or rear sensor detects a stationary object.

■

Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle

●

Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The 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.

turned to ON and a small vehicle or other object
which cannot be detected by a front side sensor is
next to the vehicle.
In the situation shown in the following illustration,
even if the vehicle starts off, the vehicle on the left
will not be detected and the object warning func-
tion will not operate.

●

When an object or person is in a position which cannot be detected by the side
sensors or side cameras.

●

When, after the side sensors have completed scanning the areas along the sides of
the vehicle, a vehicle, person, or other object approaches the side of the vehicle and
cannot be detected.

●

When the outside rear view mirror is closed, the side sensors or side cameras cannot
detect objects.

●

If the 12-volt battery was discharged or has been removed and installed, fold and
extend the outside rear view mirrors.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Purpose of the RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert) function

The RCTA function uses the BSM rear side radar sensors installed behind the rear
bumper. This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not
easily visible when backing up.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle
is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle.

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.

the sensors may not be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate
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.)
