■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal co lli-
sion is high, the system applies greater braking force in relat ion to
how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal coll ision is
extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help av oid
the collision or reduce the impact of the collision.
■Emergency steering assist (for region A)
If the system determines that the possibility of a collision wi th a
pedestrian is high and that there is sufficient space for the v ehicle
to be steered into within its lane, and the driver has begun ev asive
maneuver or steering, emergency steering assist will assist the
steering movements to help enhance the vehicle stability and fo r
lane departure prevention.

■Enabling/disabling the pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be enabled/disabled on (P. 787)
of the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled each time the power switch is
turned to ON mode.
If the system is disabled, the
PCS warning light will turn on
and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
WARNING

■Changing the pre-collision warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing can be changed on (P. 787)
of the multi-information display.
The warning timing setting is retained when the power switch is turned
off. However, if the pre-collision system is disabled and re-en abled, the
operation timing will return to the default setting (middle).
For region A: If the pre-collision warning timing is changed, e mer-
gency steering assist timing will also be changed accordingly.
If late is selected, emergency steering assist would not operat e in
case of an emergency.
Early
Middle
This is the default setting.

● For region A: In addition to the above, in some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the emergency steering assist may not operate.
• For region A: When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such
as when they are faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is cast upon them
• For region A: When the lane is wider or narrower than normal
• For region A: When there is a light and dark pattern on the ro ad surface,
such as due to road repairs
• For region A: When a pedestrian is detected near the centerlin e of the
vehicle
• For region A: When the target is too close
• For region A: When there is insufficient safe or unobstructed space for
the vehicle to be steered into
• For region A: If oncoming vehicle is present
• For region A: If VSC function is operating
● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force or steering
force (for region A) may not be obtained, preventing the system from per-
forming 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
• When the road surface has deep wheel tracks
• When driving on a hill road
• When driving on a road that has inclines to the left or right
■ If VSC is disabled
● If VSC is disabled (P. 535), 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-Collision Brake
System Unavailable.” will be displayed on the multi-information display.
