Disabling the Pre-Collision System (PCS)
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn on and a message will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter wave radar
As part of PCS, this function is also designed to first provide an alert and then 
automatic braking if needed.
Pedestrian Detection Function
The Pre-Collision System also features a pedestrian detection function. Using 
a millimeter wave radar and monocular camera sensor, this advanced sensor 
system can recognize pedestrians in some circumstances. It may provide detection 
capability while driving at low as well as higher speeds.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
(1) (2) (3)       To change the vehicle-to-    
     vehicle distance
Push the “
” button on 
steering wheel to cycle through 
the settings, which will change 
progressively from: 
 LONG (default setting) 
 MIDDLE 
 SHORT. 
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to 
approximately 400ft (120m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle 
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the 
vehicle ahead.
Preceding
vehicle markSteering wheel 
switch
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-     
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance   
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle      
     driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is 
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this 
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in 
order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning 
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your 
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill 
slopes.

System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “
 SET” button until 
the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow 
initialization to complete. The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.
Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning)
System
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn 
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode and press and hold the 
“
 SET” button until indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few 
minutes to allow initialization to complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation 
specifications. 
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains 
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes 
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized 
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the light.
