◆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  colli-
sion  is  high,  the  system  applies  greater  braking  force  in  relat ion  to
how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
◆Pre-collision braking
When  the  system  determines  that   the  possibility  of  a  frontal  colli-
sion is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determ ines
that the possibility of a frontal  collision is extremely high, the brakes
are  automatically  applied  to  hel p  avoid  the  collision  or  reduce the
collision speed.
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The  pre-collision  system  uses  a  radar  sensor  and  front  camera
to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. Wh en
the  system  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal  collisi on
with a vehicle or pedestrian i s  high,  a  warning  operates  to  urg e
the  driver  to  take  evasive  action  and  the  potential  brake  pres-
sure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the sys-
tem  determines  that  the  possibi lity  of  a  frontal  collision  with a
vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are automat i-
cally  applied  to  hel p  avoid  the  collision  or  help  reduce  the
impact of the collision.
The  pre-collision  system  can  b e  disabled/enabled  and  the  warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P.   2 5 7 )

Enabling/disabling th
e pre-collision system
The pre-collision sy stem  can be enabled/disabled  on   ( P.   9 6 )
of the multi-information display.
The  system  is  automatically  enabled  each  time  the  engine  switch  is
turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key syste m) or the
engine  switch  is  turned  to  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  sm art
key system).
If  the  system  is  disabled,  the
PCS  warning  light  will  turn  on
and  a  message  will  be  dis-
played  on  the  multi-information
display.
■Changing the pre-colli sion warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing can be changed on   ( P. 96) of
the multi-inform ation display.
The  operation  timing  setting  is  retained  when  the  engine  switch  is
turned off.
Far
The  warning  will  begin  to  oper-
ate  earlier  than  with  the  default
timing.
Middle
This is the default setting.
Near
The  warning  will  begin  to  oper-
ate  later  than  with  the  default
timing.

In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking fo rce may not be
obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:
• If  the  braking  functions  cannot  operate  to  their  full  extent,  such  as  when
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If  the  vehicle  is  not  properly  maintained  (brakes  or  tires  are   excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When  the  vehicle  is  being  driven  on  a  gravel  road  or  other  sli ppery  sur-
face
● Some  pedestrians  such  as  the  following  may  not  be  detected  by  t he  radar
sensor and front camera, preventing the system from operating p roperly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller  than approx-
imately 6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skir t, etc.), mak-
ing their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians  who  are  carrying  large  baggage,  holding  an  umbrella,  etc., hiding part of their body
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or  other vehi-
cle
• Groups of pedestrians which are close together
• Pedestrians who are wearing white and look extremely bright
• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel
• Pedestrians  whose  clothing  appears  to  be  nearly  the  same  color  or
brightness as their surroundings
• Pedestrians near walls, fences, guardrails, or large objects
• Pedestrians who  are  on a  metal  object (manhole cover,  steel plate,  etc.)
on the road
• Pedestrians who are walking fast
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly
• Pedestrians running out from behind a vehicle or a large objec t
• Pedestrians  who  are  extremely  close  to  the  side  of  the  vehicle  (outside
rear view mirror, etc.)
■ If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P. 322, 323), the pre-collision brake assist and pre-col-
lision braking functions are also disabled.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and “VSC Turned Off Pre-Coll ision Brake
System Unavailable” will be displayed on the multi-information  display.

◆Lane departure alert function
When  the  system  determines
that  the  vehicle  might  depart
from  its  lane,  a  warning  is  dis-
played  on  the  multi-information
display  and  the  warning  buzzer
sounds to alert the driver.
When  the  warning  buzzer
sounds,  check  the  surrounding
road  situation  and  carefully
operate  the  steering  wheel  to
move  the  vehicle  back  to  the
center of the lane.
◆Vehicle sway warning function
When  the  vehicle  is  swaying  or
appears as if it may depart from
its  lane  multiple  times,  the
warning  buzzer  sounds  and  a
message  is  displayed  on  the
multi-information display to alert
the driver.

Warning messageDetails/Actions
“LDA Malfunction 
Visit Your Dealer”
The  system  may  not  be  operating
properly.
 Have  the  vehicle  inspected  at  your
Toyota dealer. 
“Front Camera Unavailable”
The  operation  conditions  of  the  cam-
era  sensor  (temperature,  etc.)  are  not
met.
When  the  operation  conditions  of
the  camera  sensor  (temperature,
etc.)  are  met,  the  LDA  system  will
become  available.  Turn  the  LDA
system  off,  wait  for  a  little  while,
and  then turn  the LDA system back
on.
“LDA Unavailable”
The  LDA  system  is  temporarily  can-
celed due to a malfunction in a sensor
other than the camera sensor.
Turn  the  LDA  system  off  and  follow
the  appropriate  troubleshooting
procedures  for  the  warning  mes-
sage.  Afterward,  wait  for  a  little
while,  and  then  turn  the  LDA  sys-
tem back on.
“LDA Unavailable Below 
Approx 32MPH”
The  LDA  system  cannot  be  used  as
the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 32 mph (50 km/h).
Drive  the  vehicle  at  approximately
32 mph (50 km/h) or more.

In  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  control  mode,  the  vehicle  automa tically
accelerates  and  decelerates  to  match  the  speed  changes  of  the  p re-
ceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed.  In con-
stant speed control mode, t he vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise c ontrol on freeways and highways.
