Toyota RAV4 (XA50) 2019-2026 Owners Manual / Driving / Opening the fuel tank cap / PKSB (Parking Support Brake)

The 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 possibility of a collision with a detected object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected object is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.
