WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the radar sensor
Observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to
an accident resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
●Keep the radar sensor and the radar sensor cover clean at all times.
Radar sensor
Radar sensor cover
If the front of the radar sensor or the
front or back of the radar sensor
cover is dirty or covered with water
droplets, snow, etc., clean it.
Clean the radar sensor and radar
sensor cover with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging them.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers) or
other items to the radar sensor, radar sensor cover or surrounding area.
●Do not subject the radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong
impact. If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to
a strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not disassemble the radar sen- sor.
●Do not modify or paint the radar sensor or radar sensor cover.
●In the following cases, the radar sensor must be recalibrated. Con-tact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
• When the radar sensor or front grille are removed and installed, or replaced
• When the front bumper is replaced
■To avoid malfunction of the front camera
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front camera may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Keep the windshield clean at all
times.
• If the windshield is dirty or covered
with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clean the windshield.
• If a glass coating agent is applied to the windshield, it will still be neces-sary to use the windshield wipers to
remove water droplets, etc., from the area of the windshield in front of the front camera.
• If the inner side of the windshield where the front camera is installed
is dirty, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers, transparent stickers, etc.,
to the outer side of the windshield in front of the front camera (shaded area in the illustration).
From the top of the windshield to
approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) below
the bottom of the front camera
Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to
the right and left from the center of
the front camera)
●If the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice, use the windshield defogger to
remove the fog, condensation or ice. ( P.352)
●If water droplets cannot be properly removed from the area of the wind-shield in front of the front camera by
the windshield wipers, replace the wiper insert or wiper blade.
●Do not attach window tint to the windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is dam-aged or cracked.After replacing the windshield, the
front camera must be recalibrated. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●Do not allow liquids to contact the front camera.
●Do not allow bright lights to shine into the front camera.
●Do not dirty or damage the front camera.When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens of the front camera. Also, do not touch the
lens. If the lens is dirty or damaged, con-tact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not subject the front camera to a strong impact.
●Do not change the installation posi-tion or direction of the front camera or remove it.
●Do not disassemble the front cam-era.
●Do not modify any components of the vehicle around the front camera
(inside rear view mirror, etc.) or ceil- ing.
●Do not attach any accessories to the hood, front grille or front bumper that may obstruct the front camera.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for
details.
●If a surfboard or other long object is
to be mounted on the roof, make sure that it will not obstruct the front camera.
●Do not modify the headlights or other lights.

■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in the sys-
tem.
●In the following situations, perform the actions specified in t he table. When the nor-
mal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappe ar and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyot a retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or t he vehicle has been
driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are d etected, the mes- sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
SituationActions
When the area around a camera is cov-
ered with dirt, moisture (fogged up, cov-
ered with condensation, ice, etc.), or
other foreign matter
Using the wiper and A/C function,
remove the dirt and other attached mat-
ter. ( P.352).
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.,
to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Radar In
Self Calibration Unavailable See
Owner’s Manual” is displayed.
Check whether there is attached materi-
als on the radar sensor and radar sensor
cover, and if there is, remove it.

■Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident 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 sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high- ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or
front camera
