Pre-Collision System with  
Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to 
help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in certain situations. Using a com\
bination of 
a camera and radar, PCS w/ PD can provide an audio/visual alert to warn \
you of 
a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don’t react,\
 the system is 
designed to automatically brake.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance 
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\
stem will not 
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\
on. Do not use 
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not\
 attempt 
to test the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the syste\
m may not 
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, \
such as 
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a san\
dstorm or 
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve,\
 a vehicle 
or pedestrian may not be detected by the grille-mounted radar and forwar\
d-facing 
camera, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly.
See Toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\
s in which the 
system operation may be limited.
Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a 
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\
nformation 
Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\
tional 
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\
ay apply 
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\
ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t the 
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely\
 high, the 
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to he\
lp the 
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \
w/PD 
operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before att\
empting to 
use it.

Lane 
Departure Alert (LDA) is designed to issue an audio/visual alert if an inadvertent 
lane departure is detected. If the driver does not take corrective actio\
n, the 
Steering Assist function is designed to provide gentle corrective steeri\
ng.
* See Toyota.com/safety-sense for model applicability.
