Automatic engine shut off fea-

ture

●

The vehicle is equipped with a

feature that automatically shuts off

the engine when the shift lever is

in P (continuously variable trans-

mission) or the parking brake is

set (manual transmission) with the

engine running for an extended

period.

●

The engine will automatically shut

off after approximately 1 hour if it

has been left running while the

shift lever is in P (continuously

variable transmission) or the park-

ing brake is set (manual transmis-

sion).

●

The timer for the automatic engine

shut off feature will reset if the

brake pedal (continuously variable

transmission) or the clutch pedal

(manual transmission) is

depressed, or if the shift lever is in

a position other than P (continu-

ously variable transmission) or the

parking brake is released (man-

ual transmission).

●

After the vehicle is parked, if the

door is locked with the door lock

switch (



P.103) from the inside or

the mechanical key (



P.504) from

the outside, the automatic engine

shut off feature will be disabled.

However, do not touch the

engine switch while driving

except in an emergency. Turn-

ing the engine off while driving

will not cause loss of steering or

braking control, but the power

assist to these systems will be

lost. This will make it more diffi-

cult to steer and brake, so you

should pull over and stop the

vehicle as soon as it is safe to

do so.

amount of luggage in the vehicle

●

The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.

●

Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.

●

In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be able to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necessary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.

WARNING

■

When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions

while refueling the vehicle. Failure

to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and

before opening the fuel door,

touch an unpainted metal sur-

face to discharge any static

electricity. It is important to dis-

charge static electricity before

refueling because sparks result-

ing from static electricity can

cause fuel vapors to ignite while

refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the

fuel tank cap and turn it slowly

to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be

heard when the fuel tank cap is

loosened. Wait until the sound

cannot be heard before fully

removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may

spray out the filler neck and

cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has

not discharged static electricity

from their body to come close to

an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that

are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling

the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to

ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or

touch any person or object that

is statically charged.

This may cause static electricity

to build up, resulting in a possi-

ble ignition hazard.

■

When refueling

Observe the following precautions

to prevent fuel overflowing from

the fuel tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle

into the fuel filler neck.

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel

nozzle automatically clicks off.

If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-

tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold
environment

• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such

as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera

When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely

If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.

If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight reflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera
to become excessively high.

If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.

The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the

■

Pre-collision warning

When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge
the driver to take evasive action.

■

Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, the system
applies greater braking force in
relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.

■

Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-

tem)

The pre-collision system
uses a radar sensor and
front camera to detect
objects (



P.178) in front of

the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high, a
warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive
action and the potential
brake pressure is increased
to help the driver avoid the
collision. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision
with an object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.

The pre-collision system
can be disabled/enabled
and the warning timing can
be changed. (

WARNING

■

Limitations of the pre-colli-

sion system

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-collision sys-

tem instead of normal braking

operations under any circum-

stances. This system will not

prevent collisions or lessen col-

lision damage or injury in every

situation. Do not overly rely on

this system. Failure to do so

may lead to an accident, result-

ing in death or serious injury.

●

Although this system is

designed to help avoid a colli-

sion or help reduce the impact

of the collision, its effectiveness

may change according to vari-

ous conditions, therefore the

system may not always be able

to achieve the same level of

performance.

Read the following conditions

carefully. Do not overly rely on

this system and always drive

carefully.

• Conditions under which the sys-

tem may operate even if there is

no possibility of a collision:



P.182

• Conditions under which the sys-

tem may not operate prop-

erly:



P.183

●

Do not attempt to test the oper-

ation of the pre-collision system

yourself.

Depending on the objects used

for testing (dummies, card-

board objects imitating detect-

able objects, etc.), the system

may not operate properly, possi-

bly leading to an accident.

■

Pre-collision braking

●

When the pre-collision braking

function is operating, a large

amount of braking force will be

applied.

●

If the vehicle is stopped by the

operation of the pre-collision

braking function, the pre-colli-

sion braking function operation

will be canceled after approxi-

mately 2 seconds. Depress the

brake pedal as necessary.

●

The pre-collision braking func-

tion may not operate if certain

operations are performed by the

driver. If the accelerator pedal is

being depressed strongly or the

steering wheel is being turned,

the system may determine that

the driver is taking evasive

action and possibly prevent the

pre-collision braking function

from operating.

●

In some situations, while the

pre-collision braking function is

operating, operation of the func-

tion may be canceled if the

accelerator pedal is depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is

turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking

evasive action.

●

If the brake pedal is being

depressed, the system may

determine that the driver is tak-

ing evasive action and possibly

delay the operation timing of the

pre-collision braking function.

■

When to disable the pre-colli-

sion system

In the following situations, disable

the system, as it may not operate

properly, possibly leading to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury:

●

When the vehicle is being towed

Enabling/disabling the

pre-collision system

The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on

(



P.535) of the multi-informa-

tion display.

The system is automatically

enabled each time the engine

switch is turned to ON.

If the system is disabled, the

PCS warning light will turn on

and a message will be displayed

on the multi-information display.

■

Changing the pre-collision

warning timing

The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on

(



P.535) of the multi-informa-

tion display.

The warning timing setting is

retained when the engine switch is

sion system is disabled and

re-enabled, the operation timing will

return to the default setting (mid-

dle).
