Driving
■Turning the key from “ACC” to “LOCK”
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmis-
sion). ( →P. 139, 142)
■ If the engine does not start (vehicl es with an engine immobilizer system)
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. ( →P. 67)
Contact your Toyota dealer.
■ When the steering lock cannot be released
■ Key reminder function
A buzzer sounds if the driver’s door is opened while the engine switch is in
the “LOCK” or “ACC” position to remind you to remove the key. Push in the key and turn it to the
“LOCK” position.

switch may seem stuck in the “LOCK”
position. To free it, turn the key while turn-
ing the steering wheel slightly left and
right.

Driving
With the headlights on, push
the lever away from you to turn
on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the
center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high
beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.
■Daytime running light system (if equipped)
●Vehicles with reflector type headlights: To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on auto-
matically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released
with the headlight switch off or in the position. (Illuminate dimmer
than the headlights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.
For type C of this headlight, daytime running lights can be turned off by
operating the switch.
Vehicles with projector type headlights: 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. Daytime run-
ning lights are not designed for use at night.
For type C of this headlight, daytime running lights can be turned off by
operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Automatic High Beam (if equipped)
→P. 183
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC”
position and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.

PCS (Pre-Collision system)∗
◆Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and the PCS activation
indicator will flash 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.
◆Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the sy stem warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically appli ed to help avoid the collision or
reduce the collision speed.
∗: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses the front sensor to detect vehi-
cles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collisi on with a vehicle is high, a warn-
ing 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 determin es that the possibility of a fron-
tal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning
timing can be changed. ( →P. 168)

1784-5. Toyota Safety Sense C
LDA (Lane Departure Alert)∗
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes
the lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviat es from its lane.
If the system judges that the ve hicle has deviated from its lane, it
alerts the driver using a buzzer and indications on the meter.
Front sensor
Press the LDA switch to activate
the system.
The LDA indicator will come on.
Press the switch again to turn the
LDA system off.
The LDA system will remain on or
off even if the engine switch is
turned to “ON” position.
∗: If equipped
Summary of function
