mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle whee l bal-
ancer

●In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking fo rce 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 sli ppery sur-
face
● Some pedestrians such as the following may not be detected by t he radar
sensor and camera sensor, preventing the system from operating properly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller than approx-
imately 6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skir t, etc.), mak-

■If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates, and a warning message is
displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a
malfunction in the system.
● In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, t he message will
disappear and the system will become operational when normal op erating
conditions return:
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around eith er sen-
sor is hot, such as in the sun
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around eith er sen-
sor is cold, such as in an extremely cold environment
• When the radar sensor or front grille emblem is dirty or cover ed with
snow, etc.
• When the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged
up or covered with condensation or ice
(Defogging the windshield: P. 414, 421)
• If the camera sensor is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is attached to the windshield near the camera sensor
● If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate, or t he warning mes-
sage does not disappear, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P. 303), the pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision
braking functions are also disabled.

LDA (Lane Depar ture Alert)
When driving on roads with white (yellow) lines, this function alerts the
driver when the vehicle mi ght depart from its lane.
The LDA system recognizes visi-
ble white (yellow) lines with the
camera sensor on the upper por-
tion of the windshield.
◆Lane departure alert function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane, a warning is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the warning buzzer
sounds to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer
sounds, check the surrounding
road situation and carefully
operate the steering wheel to
move the vehicle back to the
center of the lane.

lines and various functions may not operate normally.

(yellow) lines.
● The vehicle is driven in an area without white (yellow) lines, such as in front
of a tollgate or checkpoint, or at an intersection, etc.
● The white (yellow) lines are cracked, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pa vement
marker” or stones are present.
● The white (yellow) lines cannot be seen or are difficult to see due to sand,
etc.

lines that are white).
● The white (yellow) lines cross over a curb, etc.
● The vehicle is driven on a bright surface, such as concrete.
● The vehicle is driven on a surface that is bright due to reflec ted light, etc.
● The vehicle is driven in an area where the brightness changes s uddenly,

WARNING
■To avoid inadvertent dynamic rad ar cruise control activation
Switch the dynamic radar cruise control off using the “ON-OFF” button
when not in use.
■ Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could ca use an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
● Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
● In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between s harp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a stee p hill.
● At entrances to freeways and highways
● When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
● When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the rad ar sensor or
camera sensor
● In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated acceleration and decel-
eration
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towin g
