■Adjusting the display (digital 
mirror mode)
●If the displayed image is adjusted, 
it may appear distorted. This is not 
a malfunction.
●If the brightness of the Digital 
Rearview Mirror is set too high, it 
may cause eye strain. Adjust the 
Digital Rearvie w Mirror to an 
appropriate brightness. If your 
eyes become tired, change to 
optical mirror mode.
●The brightness of the Digital Rear-
view Mirror will ch ange automati-
cally according to the brightness 
of the area in fron t of your vehicle.
■To prevent the light sensors 
from malfunctioning
To prevent the light sensors from 
malfunctioning, do not touch or 
cover them.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
■While driving
●Do not adjust the position of the 
Digital Rearview Mirror or adjust 
the display settings while driv-
ing.
Stop the vehicle and operate 
the Digital Rearview Mirror con-
trol switches. 
Failure to do so may cause a 
steering wheel operation error, 
resulting in an  unexpected acci-
dent.
●Always pay attention to the 
vehicle’s surroundings.
The size of the vehicles and other 
objects may look different when in 
digital mirror mode and optical 
mirror mode.
When backing up, make sure to 
directly check the safety of the 
area around your vehicle, espe-
cially behind the vehicle.
Additionally, if a vehicle 
approaches from the rear in the 
dark, such as at night, the sur-
rounding area may appear dim.
■To prevent causes of fire
If the driver continues using the 
Digital Rearview Mirror while 
smoke or odor comes from the 
mirror, it may result in fire. Stop 
using the system immediately and 
contact your Toyota dealer.

■Enabling/disabling the 
pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be 
enabled/disabled on   ( P.98, 
107) of the multi-information dis-
play.
The system is automatically 
enabled each time the power 
switch is turned to ON.
If the system is disabled, the 
PCS warning light will turn on 
and a message will be displayed 
on the multi-information display.
■Changing the pre-collision 
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing 
can be changed on   ( P. 9 8 ,  
107) of the multi-information dis-
play.
The warning timing setting is 
retained when the power switch is 
turned OFF. However, if the pre-col-
lision system is disabled and 
re-enabled, the ope ration timing will 
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).

then the vehicle has not been dr iven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only  the pre-collision warning 
function will be  operational)
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based 
on their size, profile, motion, etc. 
However, an object may not be 
detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion, 
posture, and angle of the detected 
object, preventing the system from 
operating properly. ( P.254)
The illustration sh ows an image of 
detectable objects.
■Cancelation of t he pre-collision 
braking
If either of the fo llowing occur while 
the pre-collision braking function is 
operating, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is 
depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned 
sharply or abruptly.
■Conditions under which the 
system may operate even if 
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine 
that there is a possibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.

■Preventing LTA system mal-
functions and operations per-
formed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or 
place stickers, etc. on the sur-
face of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension 
etc. If the suspension etc. needs 
to be replaced, contact your 
Toyota dealer.
●Do not install or place anything 
on the hood or gr ille. Also, do 
not install a gr ille guard (bull 
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs 
repairs, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
■Conditions in which functions 
may not operate properly
In the following s ituations, the 
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart 
from its lane. Drive safely by 
always paying careful attention to 
your surroundings and operate 
the steering wheel to correct the 
path of the vehicle without relying 
solely on the functions.

■TRAC/VSC may not operate 
effectively when
Directional control and power may 
not be achievable while driving on 
slippery road surfaces, even if the 
TRAC/VSC system is operating. 
Drive the vehicle carefully in con-
ditions where st ability and power 
may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active 
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate 
effectively when accelerating 
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist 
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily 
stop operating to ensure proper 
operation of the brakes, TRAC 
and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start 
assist control. Hill-start assist 
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and 
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, 
hill-start assist  control is not 
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary for an extended period 
of time. Do not attempt to use 
hill-start assist  control to hold 
the vehicle on an incline, as 
doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the 
TRAC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway 
Control is activated
The slip indicator  light flashes. 
Always drive carefully. Reckless 
driving may cause an accident. 
Exercise particula r care when the 
indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer 
Sway Control systems are 
turned off
●Be especially careful and drive 
at a speed appropriate to the 
road conditions. As these are 
the systems to help ensure 
vehicle stability and driving 
force, do not turn the 
TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Con-
trol systems off unless neces-
sary.
●Trailer Sway Control is part of 
the VSC system and will not 
operate if VSC is turned off or 
experiences a malfunction.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all  tires are of the 
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In 
addition, make sure that the tires 
are inflated to the recommended 
tire inflation p ressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, Trailer Sway 
Control and VSC systems will not 
function correctly if different tires 
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther information when replacing 
tires or wheels.
