• When vehicles ahead are hidden  from sight due to repeated curves, 
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from  the faraway lane on a wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no  lights
●The high beams may be turned off 
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog 
lights without using the headlights 
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic 
signals, and illumi nated billboards 
or signs may cause the high 
beams to switch to the low beams, 
or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect 
the amount of time taken to turn 
the high beams on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog 
lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles 
ahead
• The movement and direction of 
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has  operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two- wheeled vehicle

or off when the driver does not 
expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not 
be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the 
system may not be able to accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness levels. This may cause the 
low beams to remain on or the 
high beams to cause problems for 
pedestrians, vehicles ahead or 
other parties. In these cases, 
manually switch between the high 
and low beams.

■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unava ilable or there may be a malfunction 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.
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.321, 330)
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
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.
■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.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a frontal colli-
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system 
uses a radar sensor and 
front camera to detect 
objects ( P.239) 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 
collision.
The pre-collision system can 
be disabled/enabled and the 
warning timing can be 
changed. ( P.242)
