PCS (Pre-Collision System)
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera
to detect objects ( P. 368) in front of the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an
object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take e va-
sive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to he lp
the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that t he
possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collisio n
or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P. 373)

The countries and areas for each region listed in the table are current
as of August 2020. However, depending on when the vehicle was
sold, the countries and areas of each region may be different. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, o r any
reliable repairer for details.

■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.

■Intersection right/left turn assistance (for region A)
If the system determines that there is a high possibility of a collision
in the following situations, it will assist with Pre-collision warning
and, if necessary Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration of the intersection, it may not be
possible to support.
● When you turn right/left at an
intersection and cross the
path of an oncoming vehicle
● When you turn right/left,
pedestrian is detected in the
forward direction and esti-
mated to enter your vehicle’s
path (bicyclists are not
detected.)

WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking o perations
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collision s or lessen
collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly re ly on this sys-
tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in dea th or serious
injury.
● Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change accor ding to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve
the same level of performance.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P. 378
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 3 8 1
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard o bjects
imitating detectable objects, etc.), the system may not operate properly,
possibly leading to an accident.
■ Pre-collision braking
● When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braki ng function operation will be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.
● The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depr essed
strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine
that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent t he pre-colli-
sion braking function from operating.
● In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pe dal is
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the syst em deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive action.
● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operatio n timing of
the pre-collision braking function.

WARNING
■Emergency steering assist (for region A)
● As emergency steering assist operation will be canceled when the system
determines that lane departure prevention function has been com pleted.
● Emergency steering assist may not operate or may be cancel in the follow-
ing cases as the system may determine the driver is taking acti ons.
• If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the stee ring wheel
is being operated sharply, the brake pedal is being depressed o r the
turn signal lever is being operated. In this case, the system m ay deter-
mine that the driver is taking evasive action and the emergency steering
assist may not operate.
• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is ope rating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pe dal is
depressed strongly, the steering wheel is operated sharply or t he brake
pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the dri ver is
taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steeri ng wheel
is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which the
system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.
■ When to disable the pre-collision system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or ser ious 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 dyna-
mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle whee l bal-
ancer
● 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 vehi-
cle 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

■Enabling/disabling the pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be enabled/disabled on (P. 785)
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
● 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 to the vehicle

■Changing the pre-collision warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing can be changed on (P. 785)
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.
