■Setting items
●“Vehicle  Settings”  and  “Meter  Settings”  setting  items  are  not  s electable
during driving and cannot be operated.
Also, the settings screen is temporarily canceled in the follow ing situations.
• When a warning message appears.
• When the vehicle begins to move.
● Settings for functions not equipped to the vehicle are not displayed.
● When  a  function  is  turned  off,  the  related  settings  for  that  fu nction  are  not
selectable.
■ Pop-up display
In  some  situations,  such  as  when  a  switch  operation  is  performe d,  a  pop-up
display will be temporarily displayed on the multi-information  display.
■ When disconnecting and reco nnecting battery terminals
The drive information will be reset.
■ Trip summary display
When  the  engine  switch  is  turned  off,  each  of  the  following  wil l  be  displayed
on  the  multi-information  display,  and  will  clear  after  approximately  30  sec-
onds.
● Distance traveled
● Average fuel consumption
● Driving range
■ Tire inflation pressure
●It  may  take  a  few  minutes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressur e  after  the
engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes t o display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
● “---”  may  be  displayed  if  the  tire  position  information  cannot  be  determined
due to unfavorable radio wave conditions.
● Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed  values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressur e gauge.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small  spots  or  light  spots  may  appear  on  the  display.  This  phen omenon  is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no prob lem continuing to
use the display.

Driving
●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 front camera, 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-
ing their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians  who  are  carrying  large  baggage,  holding  an  umbrell a,  etc.,
hiding part of their body
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or  other vehi-
cle
• Groups of pedestrians which are close together
• Pedestrians who are wearing white and look extremely bright
• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel
• Pedestrians  whose  clothing  appears  to  be  nearly  the  same  color  or
brightness as their surroundings
• Pedestrians near walls, fences, guardrails, or large objects
• Pedestrians who  are  on a  metal  object (manhole cover,  steel plate,  etc.) on the road
• Pedestrians who are walking fast
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly
• Pedestrians running out from beh ind a vehicle or a large object
• Pedestrians  who  are  extremely  close  to  the  side  of  the  vehicle  (outside rear view mirror, etc.)
■ If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P. 323), the pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision
braking functions are also disabled.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and “VSC Turned Off Pre-Coll ision Brake
System Unavailable” will be displayed on the multi-information  display. 

3264-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off
Be  especially  careful  and  drive  at  a  speed  appropriate  to  the  r oad  condi-
tions. As  these  are  the  systems  to  help  ensure  vehicle  stabilit y  and  driving
force,  do  not  turn  the  TRAC/VSC/Trailer  Sway  Control  systems  of f  unless
necessary.
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,  trea d  pattern  and
total  load  capacity.  In  addition,  make  sure  that  the  tires  are  inflated  to  the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS,  TRAC,  VSC  and  Trailer  Sway  Control  systems  will  not  function
correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact  your  Toyota  dealer  for  further  information  when  replaci ng  tires  or
wheels.
■ Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspensio n will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfuncti on.
■ Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ-
ations.  Depending  on  many  factors  such  as  the  conditions  of  the  vehicle,
trailer, road surface, and driving environment, the Trailer Swa y Control sys-
tem  may  not  be  effective.  Refer  to  your  trailer  owner’s  manual  for informa-
tion on how to tow your trailer properly.
■ If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering w heel.
● Begin  releasing  the  accelerator  pedal  immediately  but  very  grad ually  to
reduce speed. 
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes,  your vehicle
and trailer should stabilize. ( P. 213)
