SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect  vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. 
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance  that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the system may not operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly. 
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the  system may not operate properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation,  
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it. 
Pre-Collision 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 (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action. 
Pre-Collision Brake Assist If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed. 
Pre-Collision Braking If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an  alert and then automatic braking if needed.
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P, PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar to help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions. The in-vehicle camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of the detected pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from operating or engaging. Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information.

vehicle deviates from its lane. 
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers on the  
road are not detected or the function is temporarily cancelled. 
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be  
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, 
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA may not
