dirty, contact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., to the outer
side of the windshield in front of the
front camera (shaded area in the illus-
tration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) below
the bottom of the front camera
B: Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm) (Approximately 4.0 in. [10 cm] to the right
and left from the center of the front camera)
● If the part of the windshield in front of the front camera is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, use the windshield defogger to remove the
fog, condensation or ice. (P. 383, 389, 397)
● If water droplets cannot be properly removed from the area of the wind-
shield in front of the front camera by the windshield wipers, replace the
wiper insert or wiper blade.
● Do not attach window tint to the windshield.
● Replace the windshield if it is damaged or cracked.
After replacing the windshield, the front camera must be recalibrated. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer for details.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera
to detect objects (P. 254) in front of the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an
object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to help
the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision
or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning
timing can be changed. (P. 259)
Detectable objects
The system can detect the following (The detectable objects differs
depending on the function.):
● Vehicles
● Bicyclists
● Pedestrians
System functions
■ 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 colli-
sion 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 collision is
extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid
the collision or reduce the impact of the collision.
■ Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is
high and that there is sufficient space for the vehicle to be steered
into within its lane, and the driver has begun evasive maneuver or
steering, emergency steering assist will assist the steering move-
ments to help enhance the vehicle stability and for lane departure
prevention.
During operation, the indicator
will illuminate in green.

■ Intersection right/left turn assistance
If the system determines that there is a high possibility of a collision
in the following situations, it will assist with Pre-collision warning
and, if necessary Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration of the intersection, it may not be
possible to support.
● When you turn right/left at an
intersection and cross the
path of an oncoming vehicle
