WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 +
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 + is 
designed to operate under the 
assumption that the driver will 
drive safely, and is designed to 
help reduce the impact to the 
occupants and the  vehicle in the 
case of a collision or assist the 
driver in normal driving condi-
tions.
As there is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not overly rely on this 
system. The driver is always 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s su rroundings and 
driving safely.

■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be tempor arily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in 
the system.
●In the following situations, perform the actions specified in t he table. When 
the normal operating conditions  are detected, the message will  disappear 
and the system will be come operational.
If the message does not disapp ear, contact your Toyota dealer.
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has 
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions  are 
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become  opera-
tional.
If the message does not disappea r, contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationActions
When the area around a camera is 
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged 
up, covered with condensation, ice, 
etc.), or other foreign matterUsing the wiper and A/C function, 
remove the dirt and other attached 
matter ( P.326, 334).
When the temperature around the 
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle 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 sys-
tem 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 condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front o f the front camera 
is obstructed, such as when the 
hood is open or a sticker is attached 
to the part of the win dshield in front 
of the front camera.
Close the hood, rem ove the sticker, 
etc., to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collisio n System Radar 
In Self Calibration Unavailable See 
Owner’s Manual” is displayed.Check whether there is attached 
materials on the radar sensor and 
radar sensor cover, and if there is, 
remove it.

Driving
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the  opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely cold 
environment
• When the front camera cannot d etect objects in front of the vehicle, such 
as when driving in the dark, sno w, or fog, or when bright lights are shining 
into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, th e radar may 
judge the surrounding environment can not be properly recognize d. In that 
case, “Pre-Collision System Unavailable See Owner’s Manual” is  dis-
played.

The system can detect the fol-
lowing (The detectable objects 
differs depending on the func-
tion.):
Vehicles
 Bicyclists 
Pedestrians
■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.
“BRAKE!”
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines 
that the possibility of a frontal 
collision is high, the system 
applies greater braking force in 
relation to how strongly the 
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the 
brakes are automatically applied 
to help avoid the collision or 
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system 
uses a radar sensor and 
front camera to detect 
objects ( P.212) in front of 
the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the 
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high, a 
warning operates to urge 
the driver to take evasive 
action and the potential 
brake pressure is increased 
to help the driver avoid the 
collision. If the system 
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision 
with an object is extremely 
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help 
avoid the collision or help 
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.
The pre-collision system can 
be disabled/enabled and the 
warning timing can be 
changed. ( P.215)
Detectable objects
System functions 

2205-5. Using the driving support systems

objects that may contact your 
vehicle, such as thick grass, tree 
branches, or a banner
• When driving through steam or  smoke
• When driving near an object that  reflects radio waves, such as a 
large truck or guardrail
• When driving near a TV tower,  broadcasting station, electric 
power plant, radar equipped vehi-
cles, etc., or other location where 
strong radio waves or electrical 
noise may be present
• When there are many things  which can reflect  the radio waves 
of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels, 
truss bridges, gravel roads, snow 
covered road that have tracks, 
etc.)
• While making a right/left turn,  when an oncoming vehicle or a 
crossing pedestrian has already 
exited the path of your vehicle
• While making a right/left turn,  closely in front of an oncoming 
vehicle or a crossing pedestrian. • While making a 
right/left turn, 
when an oncoming vehicle or a 
crossing pedestrian stops before 
entering the path  of your vehicle
• While making a  right/left turn, 
when an oncoming vehicle turns 
right/left in fron t of your vehicle
• While steering into the direction of  oncoming traffic
■Situations in which the system 
may not operate properly
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, an object may not be 
detected by the radar sensor and 
front camera, pre venting the sys-
tem from opera ting properly:
• When a detectable object is 
approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable  object is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an  abrupt maneuver (such as sudden 
swerving, acceleration or deceler-
ation)
• When your vehicle approaches a  detectable object rapidly
• When a detectable  object is not 
directly in front of your vehicle
• When a detectable  object is near 
a wall, fence, gua rdrail, manhole 
cover, vehicle, steel plate on the 
road, etc.
• When a detectable object is under  a structure

due to road repairs
• When the target is too close
• When there is insufficient safe or  unobstructed space for the vehicle 
to be steered into
• If oncoming vehicle is present
• If VSC function is operating
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, sufficien t braking force or 
steering force 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, ext remely hot, or 
wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main- tained (brakes or  tires are exces-
sively worn, imprope r tire inflation 
pressure, etc.)

Depending on the vehicle condition 
and road conditions, the warning 
may not operate. Also, if the system 
determines that the vehicle is driv-
ing around a curv e, warnings will 
occur earlier than  during straight-
lane driving.
●When the system determines that 
the driver is driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel while the 
steering wheel assist of the steer-
ing assist function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their 
hands off of the steering wheel and 
the steering wheel  assist is operat-
ing, the buzzer sounds and the 
driver is warned. Each time the 
buzzer sounds, the continuing time 
of the buzzer becomes longer.
The buzzer also sounds even if the 
alert type is set to  .
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system de termines that 
the vehicle is swaying while the 
vehicle sway warning function is 
operating, a buzzer sounds and a 
warning message urging the driver 
to rest and the symbol shown in the 
illustration are sim ultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
Depending on the vehicle and road 
conditions, the warning may not 
operate.
■Warning message
