OVERVIEW FEATURES/OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES

Pre-Collision System (PCS)
The Pre-Collision System uses a laser sensor and camera sensor to help detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver to take evasive
action while the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid
collision or reduce the impact to the vehicle and it’s occupants.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On. The
system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing of the system can be
changed.
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 (MID) 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
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the
system warns the driver. If the system 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.
