5508-2. Steps to take in an emergency
*1: Driver’s seat belt buzzer:The driver’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that h is or her seat
belt is not fastened. Once the engine switch is turned to the “ ON” or
“START” position, the buzzer sounds for 6 seconds. If the vehic le reaches
a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the buzzer sounds once. If the sea t belt is
still unfastened after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 10
seconds. Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a
different tone for 20 more seconds.
PCS warning light (If equipped)
When the warning light flashes:
Indicates a malfunction in the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
When the warning light illuminates:
Indicates that the PCS (Pre-Collision System) is temporar-
ily unavailable, possibly due to either of the following:
• An area around the radar sensor or camera sensor being dirty or covered with condensation, ice, stickers,
etc.
Clear the dirt, condensation, ice, stickers, etc.
(P. 226)
• Radar sensor or camera sensor operational conditions (such as temperature, etc.) being not met
Driving is possible in this case. The PCS (Pre-Colli-
sion System) will be enabled if the operational condi-
tions (such as temperature, etc.) are met again.
• Either the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) system or PCS
(Pre-Collision System) is disabled or both are disabled.
To enable the PCS, enable both the VSC system and
PCS. ( P. 235, 304)
(Yellow)
LDA (Lane Departure Alert) indicator (If equipped)
The indicator comes on and a warning message is dis-
played to indicate that the LDA (Lane Departure Alert)

tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warnin g buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
