2023 TOYOTA PRIUS PRIME brake sensor

371-1. For safe use
1
For safety and security
bag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors, etc., shown in the system
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising,
etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high
speed of deployment (inflation) by
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and
inflator) as well as the parts
around the airbags may be hot for
several minutes. The airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped
and fuel supply to the engine will
be stopped. (P.87)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically.
(  P.425)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.446)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.546)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of
the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will a ttempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency services. (
P.65)
• When an SRS airbag has been deployed
• When a seat belt pretensioner has
operated
• When the vehicle has been involved in a severe rear-end colli-
sion
■The SRS airbags deploy in a
frontal impact when
●The following SRS airbags will
deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds a threshold level
(level of force corresponding to an
approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 -
30 km/h] frontal collision with a
fixed wall that does not move or
deform):
• SRS front airbags
●The threshold level at which the
SRS airbags will deploy will be
higher than normal in the in the
following situations:
• When the vehicle collides with an
object, such as a parked vehicle
or sign pole, which moves or
deforms on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle underrides, or goes under, the
bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision,
only the following may deploy:
• Seat belt pretensioners
●The SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger’s seat will not deploy if
there is no passenger in the front
passenger seat. However, the
SRS airbags for the front passen-
ger’s seat may deploy, even if the
seat is unoccupied, if luggage is
put on the seat.

■AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles without LED accessories
lamp: The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the low beam head lights, and illu-
minate dimmer than the low beam
headlights.
●Vehicles with LED accessories
lamp: The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the parking lights, and illuminate
brighter than the parking lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime
driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following conditions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the ,
or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illuminate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything that blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light
and may cause the automatic head-
light system to malfunction.

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses sensors to detect
objects ( P.294) in the path
of the vehicle. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable
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 possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.304)

3205-5. Using the driving support systems
PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.321) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully. ( P.323)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.
■When turning proactive driv-
ing assist off
●Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly:
 P.323
●When it is necessary to disable
the system: P.284

Driving
• If the vehicle speed is set while driving at a speed that exceeds
the system’s upper limit, the set
vehicle speed will be the system’s
upper limit.
■Accelerating after setting the
vehicle speed
As with normal driving, acceleration
can be performed by depressing the
accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the vehicle will return to the set
vehicle speed. However, while in
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease to below the set vehicle
speed in order to maintain the dis-
tance from the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle is stopped by
system control during follow-up
cruising
●When the “RES” switch is pressed
while the vehicle is stopped by
system control, if the preceding
vehicle starts off within approxi-
mately 3 seconds, follow-up cruis-
ing will resume.
●If the preceding vehicle starts off
within approximately 3 seconds of
the vehicle being stopped by sys-
tem control, follo w-up cruising will
resume.
■Automatic cancellation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode
In the following situations, vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode will
be canceled automatically:
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been
operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by
system control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are
detected while the vehicle is
stopped by system control: • The driver’s seat belt is unfas-
tened
• The driver’s door is opened
• Approximately 3 minutes have
elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped
The parking brake may be actived
automatically.
●Situations in which some or all of
the functions of the system cannot
operate: P.291
■Dynamic radar cruise control
system warning messages and
buzzers
For safe use: P.284
■Preceding vehicles that the sen-
sor may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depend-
ing on the conditions, if the system
cannot provide sufficient decelera-
tion or acceleration is necessary,
operate the brake pedal or accelera-
tor pedal.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect these types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning
(  P.338) may not operate.
●When a vehicle cuts in front of
your vehicle or changes lanes
away from your vehicle extremely
slowly or quickly
●When changing lanes
●When a preceding vehicle is driv-
ing at a low speed
●When a vehicle is stopped in the
same lane as the vehicle
●When a motorcycle is traveling in
the same lane as the vehicle
■Conditions under which the
system may not operate cor-
rectly
In the following situations, operate
the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation)
as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to
correctly detect a vehicle, the sys-
tem may not operate properly.
