■ Parking brake automatic lock
function
The parking brake will be set auto-
matically under the following condi-
tions:
● The brake pedal is not depressed
● The driver’s door is open
● The driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened
● The shift lever is in a position
other than P or N
● The malfunction indicator lamp
and brake system warning light
are not illuminated
■ If “Parking Brake Temporarily
Unavailable” is displayed on
the multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated
repeatedly over a short period of
time, the system may restrict opera-
tion to prevent overheating. If this
happens, refrain from operating the
parking brake. Normal operation will
return after about 1 minute.
■ If “Parking Brake Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Operate the parking brake switch. If
the message does not disappear
after operating the switch several
times, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
■ Parking brake operation sound
When the parking brake operates, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may
be heard. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
■ Parking brake indicator light
and Parking brake switch indi-
cator
● Depending on the engine switch
position/mode, the parking brake
indicator light and the parking
brake switch indicator will turn on
and stay on as described below:
ON: Comes on until the parking
brake is released.
Not in ON: Stays on for approxi-
mately 15 seconds.
● When the engine switch is turned
off with the parking brake set, the
parking brake indicator light and
the parking brake switch indicator
will stay on for about 15 seconds.
This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

Automatic mode (automatic brake
setting and releasing) will be turned
on automatically.

■ Parking brake engaged warning
buzzer

an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
■ Parking brake switch
Do not set any objects near the
parking brake switch. Objects
may interfere with the switch and
