NOTICE
■Before driving
Fully release the parking brake.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake components
overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase brake
wear.

Vehicle data recordings
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer
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-collision system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or another object)
The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or
pictures.
● 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

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.

■ 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”

■ If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates, and a warning message
is displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be tempor arily unavailable or there may be a
malfunction in the system.
● In the following situations, the indicator and message will be cleared and
the system will become operational when normal operating conditions
return:
• When the area around the front sensor is hot, such as after the vehicle
has been parked in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
( P. 334, 344)
• If the area in front of the front sensor is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open
● If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate, or the warning
message is not cleared, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■ If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled
● If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled (P. 313), pre-collision brake assist
and pre-collision braking are also di sabled. However, the pre-collision
warning function will still operate.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and a warning message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display. ( P. 551)

WARNING
■ Limitations of the pre-collision system
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen
damage or injuries in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a
collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions
( P. 270). As a result, the system may not always provide the same level
of performance.
● The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is bei ng turned, the system may determine
that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-colli-
sion braking function from operating.
● In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly or the steering w heel is turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive action.
● While driving, the system may recognize front obstacles, such as the
crossing gate of a railway crossing, as a collision objects and operate the
pre-collision brake.
In the event that the vehicle gets caught within the railroad crossing, move
the vehicle with the following actions and depending on the situation main-
tain safety.
• Depress the accelerator pedal after the vehicle has stopped
• Strongly depress the accelerator pedal when decelerating ( P. 271)
• Turn the pre-collision system OFF ( P. 269)
● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-collision braking
function is operating. Additionally, as the vehicle may creep after the pre-
collision braking function has operated, the driver should depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
