TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
The Pre-Collision System uses a laser sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect 
vehicles in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance that 
this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system \
will not prevent 
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do n\
ot use PCS 
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not att\
empt to test 
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may no\
t operate or 
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as whe\
n driving in 
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while \
driving on a 
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not \
be detected 
by the laser and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or\
 engaging 
properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations \
in which the 
system may not operate properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \
operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a buzzer 
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Informat\
ion Display 
(MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\
tional braking 
force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply\
 greater 
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t the possibility 
of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the s\
ystem may 
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driv\
er reduce the 
impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Each time the Pre-Collision System switch is pressed, the response to th\
e warning 
distance changes.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn on and a message will be displayed on th\
e Multi-
Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION \
ON mode.

NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly, 
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended 
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help 
hold child restraint systems securely.

ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
(1)(2)
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch tu\
rned to  
 position, push lever away from you.
(2) Depress the Automatic High Beam “AUTO” switch. The 
 indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on 
automatically to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The 
 indicator will turn off and the high beam indicator turns on.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system. When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned on 
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights turned 
on.
If any of these conditions occur, high beams will be automatically turne\
d off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead. AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at nighttime 
without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-vehicle cam\
era to 
help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail lights of prece\
ding vehicles, 
then automatically switches between high and low beams as appropriate to\
 provide 
the most light possible and enhance forward visibility. By using high be\
ams more 
frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and ob\
stacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB \
operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.

System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “ SET” button until the 
indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow initialization  to complete.
If tire pressure becomes critically low on any of the tires (excluding \
the spare), 
“
” indicator will illuminate. Correctly adjusting tire inflation will turn\
 off the light 
after a few minutes. If the light does not turn off, have the system che\
cked by your 
Toyota dealer.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup 
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure 
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that 
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking 
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split 
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than 
just the driver alone can.
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower, and 
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, o\
r uneven 
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s). 
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\
ts to slip. 
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \
This 
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \
on track.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help 
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehi\
cle to tilt 
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to \
sudden 
stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness\
 of all four 
wheels.
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which 
combines Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electron\
ic Brake-
force Distribution (EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Cont\
rol (TRAC) and 
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), 
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations 
to these systems.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\
rator 
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions. 
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied 
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\
 per hour.  
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal, 
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
 rolling 
backward.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for tire changing and jack positioning pr\
ocedures.
