WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense 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 conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of rec- ognition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surroundings
and driving safely.

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.

■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.
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.290).
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.

●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the 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.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyot a retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment • When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the ve hicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are sh ining 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 recognized. In that case, “Pre-Colli-
sion System Unavailable See Owner’s Manual” is displayed.

*: If equipped
The system can detect the follow-
ing (The detectable objects differs
depending on the function.):
 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.
■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 collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid
the collision or reduce the impact of
the collision.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with a
pedestrian is high and that there is
sufficient space for the vehicle to be
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)*
The pre-collision system uses
a radar sensor and front cam-
era to detect objects ( P.209)
in front of the vehicle. When
the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision
with an object is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and the
potential brake pressure is
increased to he lp the driver
avoid the collision. If the sys-
tem determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with
an object is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be
disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed.

The system is automatically enabled
each time the power switch is turned to

WARNING
■When to disable the pre-colli- sion system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-erly, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the hybrid system on and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-
ter, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●When tire chains are installed
●When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is
used
●If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that may obstruct the radar sensor or front camera is temporarily installed
