WARNING
■ If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional imme-
diately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 536)
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system) to indicate that a system check is being
performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not
come on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for details.
*2: The light flashes to indicate a malfunction.

WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the assist functions of the system
By means of warnings and brake control, the pre-collision system is
intended to assist the driver in avoi ding collisions through the process of
LOOK-JUDGE-ACT. There are limits to the degree of assistance the system
can provide, so keep in mind the following important points.
● Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-collision system is only able to detect vehicles directly in front of
your vehicle, and only within a limited range. It does not allow for careless
or inattentive driving, and is not a system that can assist the driver in low-
visibility conditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings.
● Assisting the driver in making correct judgement
When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data
available to the pre-collision system is that from vehicles it has detected
directly in front of the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the
driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possi-
bility of collision in any given situation.
● Assisting the driver in taking action
The pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision braking functions are
designed to help avoid a collision or reduce the severity of a collision, as
such they only operate when the system has determined that the possibil-
ity of a collision is high. This system is not capable of automatically avoid-
ing a collision or bringing the vehicle to a stop safely, without appropriate
operations being performed by the driver. For this reason, when encoun-
tering a dangerous situation the driver must take direct and immediate
action in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

■ Sensor detection information
● Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, air brakes of large vehicl es, or other loud noises producing
ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is
installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer
than they are.
● The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angles objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in resp onse to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
■ Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■ VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Control +)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering performance.
■ TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintains drive power and prevents the front wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.
■ PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped)
P. 267
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.

■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRC, VSC+
and hill-start assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may
be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Operating conditions of hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assist control will
operate:
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, the shift lever is in a position other than “P”
or “N” (when starting off forward/backward on an upward incline).
● The vehicle is stopped.
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
● The parking brake is not engaged.
■ Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, the shift lever is moved to “P” or “N”.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed.
● The parking brake is engaged.
● Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the brake pedal is released.
