The pre-crash safety system is equipped with a sophisticated com-
puter that will record certain data, such as: • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-crash safety system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead or another object)
The pre-crash safety system does not record conversations, sounds
or pictures.
∗: If equipped
The Toyota Safety Sense system consists of the following drive
assist systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driv-
ing experience.

●Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
The front sensor is located on the
upper side of the windshield. It
consists of 2 types of sensors,
each of which detects information
necessary to operate the drive
assist systems. Laser sensors
Monocular camera sensor
Front sensor

WARNING
The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The
front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the
IEC 60825-1 standard. Under normal usage conditions, these lasers are not
harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impairment. ●To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-
ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the
front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the
IEC 60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of
eye injury under direct exposure.
● Do not attempt to look into the front sensor with a magnifying glass, micro-
scope or other optical instrument within a distance of less than 100 mm
(3.9 in.).

●
Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, use the windshield defogger to remove the
fog, condensation or ice.
● Keep the windshield clean at all times.
The pre-crash safety system may not function properly if the windshield is
dirty or covered with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc.
If the inner side of the windshield where the front sensor is installed is dirty,
do not attempt to remove the front sensor. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional.
● If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional.
● Do not install an antenna in front of the sensor.
● Do not spill liquid onto the sensor.
● Do not allow bright lights to shine into the sensor.
● Do not damage or let the lenses of the front sensor get dirty.
When cleaning the inner side of the windshield, do not let glass cleaner
contact the lenses. Also, do not touch the lenses.
For proper care of the lenses of the front sensor, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
● Do not change the installation position or direction of the sensor or remove
it. The direction of the sensor is precisely adjusted.
● Do not subject the sensor to strong impact or disassemble it.
● Do not install an electronic device or device that emits strong electric
waves near the front sensor.
● Do not place reflective objects on top of the instrument panel.
●Do not install or attach anything to the

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)∗
◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warn-
ing message will be displayed
on the multi-information display
to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action.
◆Pre-crash brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force
in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
∗: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high,
pre-crash warning urges the driver to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure will be increased to help the driver
avoid the collision.
If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision
with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact to
the vehicle occupants and the vehicle in the collision.The pre-crash warning timing can be changed or the system can be
enabled/disabled, as necessary, by operating the switch. ( →P. 256)

◆Pre-crash braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the collision speed.
■Changing the pre-crash warning timing
Each time the PCS switch is
pressed, the warning timing
changes as follows:Far (operation starts earlier)
Middle (default setting)
Near (operation starts later)
When the PCS switch is
pressed to turn the system on,
the current warning timing will
be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■
Disabling the pre-crash safety system
Press the PCS switch for 3 sec-
onds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn
on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
To enable the system, press the
PCS switch again.
Vehicles without a smart entry &
start system: The system is
enabled each time the engine
switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: The system is enabled each
time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
