NOTICE
■ Front sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the sensor operates correctly:
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● On cold days when there is a large temperature difference between the
vehicle interior and outside air temperatures, the windshield fogs up easily.
If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor becomes fogged up
or covered with condensation or ice, the system temporarily stops working
and the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates. In that case, use the front
defroster to remove the fog, condensation, or ice. ( P. 334, 344)
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent ones) or similar objects to the
outside of the windshield in front of the
front sensor (the shaded area shown in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illus-
tration).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)

NOTICE
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. Also, if there are water droplets,
etc. in front of the front sensor, use the wipers to remove them.
The pre-collision system may not func tion properly if dirt, oil, water drop-
lets, snow and other foreign matter is not completely removed.
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.
● Replace the wiper blades immediately when necessary. If the area in front
of the front sensor is not appropriately wiped clean, the performance of the
sensor may decline.
When replacing the wiper blades is necessary, consult any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
● 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.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle 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 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-collision system uses the front sensor to detect vehicles in
front of your vehicle. When the system determines that the possibil-
ity of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, pre-collision warning
urges the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pres-
sure 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 he lp reduce the impact to the vehicle
occupants and the vehicle in the collision.
The pre-collision warning timing can be changed or the system can be
enabled/disabled, as necessary, by operating the switch. ( P. 268)

■ Pre-collision 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-collision system
■ Changing the pre-collision 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-information display.

■ Disabling the pre-collision system
Press the PCS switch for 3 sec-
onds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn on
and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
To enable the system, press the
PCS switch again.
Vehicles without smart entry &
start system: The system is
enabled each time the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion.
Vehicles with smart entry & start
system: The system is enabled
each time the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is turned to IGNI-
TION ON mode.

■ Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle (except motorcycles and bicycles) is high.
● Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 86 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 15 km/h (10 mph).
● Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (19 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
● Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 10 km/h (7 mph).
When the brake pedal is stepped on, the system judges if evasion actions
are being done by the driver and the start timing for pre-collision braking
may be delayed.
During the following, the driver oper ations takes precedence and the system
may not operate:
● The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
● The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
In case of the following, the system will not operate:
● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then
the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collision warning function will be opera-
tional)
● If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated
● When the shift position is in “R”

■ Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
● If either of the following situations occur while the pre-collision braking
function is operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is tu rned sharply or abruptly.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the operation of the pre-collision braking function will be canceled
after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
■ Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no
possibility of a collision
In the following situations the sensor may detect an object and cause the
system to determine that there is a possibility of a frontal collision and oper-
ate.
