■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with a rain-sensing windshield wiper)
● Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: If the wiper switch is turned to
while the engine switch is in the “ON” position, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: If the wiper switch is turned to
while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will oper-
ate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
● When the sensor sensitivity ring is turned toward high while in “AUTO”
mode, the wiper will operate once to indicate that the sensor sensitivity is
enhanced.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C
(5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the
wiper in any mode other than “AUTO” mode.

WARNING
■ Front sensor The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The
front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Under normal usage conditions, these lasers are not
harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impair-
ment.
● To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-
ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the
front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of eye
injury under direct exposure.

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound, the PCS activation indi-
cator will flash
*1 or a warning
message will be displayed in
the multi-information display
*2,
and the system will urge the
driver to take evasive action.
*1: Vehicles with monochrome display.
*2: Vehicles with color display.
: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle 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
frontal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed. (P. 294)
