■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the
position. (Illuminate brighter than the front position lights.) Daytime running
lights are not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
■Automatic light off system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
When the light switch is in or : The headlights and front fog lights
(if equipped) turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned off.
When the light switch is in : All lights turn off automatically if the engine
switch is turned off.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, or turn
the light switch off once and then back to or .
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
When the light switch is in or : The headlights and front fog lights
(if equipped) turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned off.
When the light switch is in : All lights turn off automatically if the engine
switch is turned off.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or
turn the light switch off once and then back to or .
■Light reminder buzzer
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to the “ACC”
position and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to ACCES-
SORY mode and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on. The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

◆Pre-crash 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 to urge the
driver to take evasive 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.
◆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.
PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
: 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, a
warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure is 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 of the collision.
The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed. (P. 261)

obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery sur-
face • If your vehicle is skidding
• When the front part of the vehicle is
raised or lowered

AURIS Touring Sports_EE (12L13E)■If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates and a warning message is
displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-crash safety system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be
a malfunction in the system.
●In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, the message will
disappear and the system will become operational when normal operating
conditions return:
• When the area around the front sensor is hot, such as in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
(P. 406, 413)
• When the front sensor or the area around either sensor is cold, such as in
an extremely cold environment
• 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 mes-
sage does not disappear, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.

●If TRC and VSC are disabled (P. 333), the pre-crash safety brake assist
and pre-crash safety braking functions are also disabled. However, the pre-
crash safety warning function will still operate.
●The PCS warning light illuminates and “Pre-Crash Brake is disabled due to
VSC OFF.” is displayed on the multi-information display.

this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the 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 vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic 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 wireless antenna.
