When Driving
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Low Speed Pre -Collision System as a substitute for
safer driving
The Low Speed Pre-Collision System cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following anothe r vehicle too
closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads
(reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road sur-
face). You can still have an accident.
■ Do not rely completely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is only designed to reduce d amage
in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leadin g to the
accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated coul d result in
an accident.
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is a system which operates in
response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or
react to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
● The laser sensor for the Low Speed Pre-Collision System is inst alled near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Low Speed Pre-
Collision System, heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser sensor (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser s ensor
may not be able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the l aser sen-
sor may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which
could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble the laser sensor.
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visib le near
the laser sensor, stop using the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
immediately and have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota deal er. If
the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on
the windshield near the laser sensor, the system may operate un nec-
essarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on
P. 2 3 3 .
• When replacing the windshield wi pers or windshield, consult your
Toyota dealer.
● The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such
cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle ahead a nd may
not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to
the road ahead.

3-10. Active Safety System
If the Low Speed Pre-Collision
System is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
WARNING
■Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Low Sp eed Pre-Colli-
sion System not operating normally or mistakenly operating, whi ch could
cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on P. 233.
NOTICE
●When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Low Speed Pre-Collision System be turned off.
● Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Low Speed
Pre-Collision System may not operate normally.

Laser Sensor
Always keep the surface of the
windshield around the laser sen-
sor clean to assure proper opera-
tion of the Low Speed Pre-
Collision System.
The Low Speed Pre-Collision System laser sensor is installed at
the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
WARNING
■As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the la ser,
always heed the following precautions
● Never remove the sensor.
● A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M la ser under
the IEC 60825-1 specification and therefore eye safety cannot b e assured.
● Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a ma gnification
function such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and object ive
lenses within a distance of 3.94 in. (100 mm) from the sensor.
