■Operational conditions
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and determines that the possibility of
a frontal collision with a vehicle is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
●Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 86 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 15 km/h (10 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (19 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash safety warning function will be opera-
tional)
■Cancelation of the pre-crash safety braking
●If either of the following occur while the pre-crash safety braking function is
operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash safety braking
function, the operation of the pre-crash safety braking function will be
canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.

face is uneven or undulating • When passing a vehicle in an oncom-
ing lane that is stopped to make a
right/left turn
• When passing an oncoming vehicle
while making a left or right turn
• When driving on a road where relative
location to vehicle ahead in an adja-
cent lane may change, such as on a

• If the sun or other light is shining directly on a vehicle ahead
• If a vehicle ahead makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving,
acceleration or deceleration)
• When suddenly cutting behind a preceding vehicle • If a preceding vehicle has a low rear
end, such as a low bed trailer

worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery sur-
face • If your vehicle is skidding

UK AURIS_HB_EE (OM12K97E)■If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates and a warning message is
displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-crash safety system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be
a malfunction in the system.
●In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, the message will
disappear and the system will become operational when normal operating
conditions return:
• When the area around the front sensor is hot, such as in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
(P. 406, 413)
• When the front sensor or the area around either sensor is cold, such as in
an extremely cold environment
• If the area in front of the front sensor is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open
●If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate or the warning mes-
sage does not disappear, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■If VSC is disabled
●If TRC and VSC are disabled (P. 334), the pre-crash safety brake assist
and pre-crash safety braking functions are also disabled. However, the pre-
crash safety warning function will still operate.
●The PCS warning light illuminates and “Pre-Crash Brake is disabled due to
VSC OFF.” is displayed on the multi-information display.
