■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).

The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a 12-volt battery te rminal has been disc onnected and reconne cted and
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.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while over-
taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object in an adjacent lane or on
the roadside, such as when

• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable

●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes
other than that highways and

■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.

play is displayed (P.262) and

■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.
