Driving
●The high beam may be turned on or off when the driver does not expect it.
● Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
● In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels. This may cause the low be ams to
remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high
and low beams.

roads, gravel tracks, etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a w inding
road.

• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a co ntainer on a
truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.

2144-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Temporarily lowering sensor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporarily lowered.
Turn the engine switch off while the following conditions are m et.
• The headlight switch is in or .
• The headlight switch lever is in high beam position.
• Automatic High Beam switch is on.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Within 30 seconds after , repeat pulling the headlight switch lever to the
original position then pushing it to the high beam position qui ckly 10 times,
then leave the lever in high beam position.
If the sensitivity is changed, the Automatic High Beam indicato r is turn on
and off 3 times.
Automatic High Beam (headlights) may turn on even the vehicle i s stopped.
■ If “Headlight System Malfunction. Visit Your Dealer.” is displayed on the
multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

2244-5. Using the driving support systems
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated compu ter
that will record certain data, such as: • Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
• Information (such as the dist ance and relative speed between y our
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-col li-
sion braking function or the pre-collision brake assist functio n was
operating)
The pre-collision system does not record con versations, sounds or
images of the inside of the vehicle.
● Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party exc ept:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of t he
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
● Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the f unc-
tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system opera tes
will not be available.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sen-
sor to detect vehicles and pedest rians in front of your vehicle.
When the system determines that t he possibility of a frontal col-
lision with a vehicle or pedest rian 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 possi bility of a frontal collision with
a vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce th e
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can b e disabled/enabled and the warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P. 2 3 4 )
