●

In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has

been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are

detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-

tional.

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
cold environment

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
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera.

Close the hood, remove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.

■

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.177) 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. (P.176)

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.178

• Conditions under which the sys-

tem may not operate properly:



P.179

●

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

176

■

Enabling/disabling the
pre-collision system

The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on

(P.516) of the multi-informa-
tion display.

The system is automatically
enabled each time the power
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.516) of the multi-informa-
tion display.

The warning timing setting is
retained when the power switch is
turned off. However, if the pre-colli-
sion system is disabled and
re-enabled, the operation timing will
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).
