CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Type E
When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Shake the child restraint left and right, and forward and back to ensure that
it has been securely installed.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the ISOFIX rigid anchors, be sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the
child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely
attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display (if equipped)
The Eco-friendly acceleration operation (Eco-friendly driving) range is dis-
played along with the current amount of acceleration. If the accelerator
pedal is depressed down too far and Zone of Eco driving is exceeded, the
right-hand side of the bar-graph will begin to flash.
Also, it will not be operated if the following conditions are met while driving:
The shift position is anything other than “D”
The vehicle is being driven in “SPORT” mode
If equipped, the paddle shift switch is operated while the shift position is
“D”
The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (80 mph) or higher.
Rear seat belt reminder buzzer
The rear seat belts reminder sounds to alert the rear passenger that his/her
seat belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds for 30 seconds after the vehi-
cle has reached a speed of at least 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt
is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more sec-
onds.
Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be
displayed, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
When “--” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety)
: If equipped
When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the
pre-crash safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are
automatically engaged to lessen impact and injuries to occupants
as well as vehicle damage.
Pre-crash seat belts
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable,
the pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the
collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking
or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 110)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
Pre-crash brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and
buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision
speed. Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash
braking OFF switch.

Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also
be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals,
bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
The pre-crash safety is operational when
Pre-crash seat belts (Type A):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The system detects sudden braking or skidding.
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash seat belts (Type B):
• Vehicle speed is above 5 km/h (4 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is above 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking:
• The pre-crash braking OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is above 15 km/h (10 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
