WARNING
■ Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
●The driver is solely responsible for sa fe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-crash safety sy stem instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or
lessen collision damage or injury 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,
therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: →P. 264
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: →P. 2 6 8
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system your-
self, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
■ Pre-crash braking
●The pre-crash 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-crash
braking function from operating.
● In some situations, while the pre-cr ash braking function is operating, oper-
ation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that
the driver is taking evasive action.
● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-crash braking
function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-crash brak-
ing function will be canceled af ter the vehicle has been stopped for
approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash
braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as necessary.
● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of
the pre-crash braking function.

■Operational conditions
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and determines that the possibility of
a frontal collision with a vehicle is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
●Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 86 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 15 km/h (10 mph) or more.
● Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (19 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or more.
● Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If the shift lever is in R
● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)
■ Cancelation of the pre-crash braking
●If either of the following occur while the pre-crash braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function,
the operation of the pre-crash braking function will be canceled after the
vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.

• If a wiper blade is blocking the front sensor
• The vehicle is wobbling.
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
• When a preceding vehicle is a poor reflector of laser
● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may not be
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
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.

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 beco me 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. 394, 401)
• 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 sens or 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 VSC is disabled
●If TRC and VSC are disabled ( →P. 308), the pre-crash brake assist and pre-
crash braking functions are also disabled. However, the pre-crash warning
function will still operate.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and a warning message will be displayed
on the multi-information display. ( →P. 544)
