AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed
for use at night.
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Automatic light off system
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
When the light switch is in the “AUTO” position, the headlight and all
the lights turn off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned OFF.
When the light switch is in the position, the front fog lights turn
off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
ACCESSORY mode or turned OFF.
When the light switch is in the
position, the headlights and front
fog lights turn off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned OFF.
The front position and tail lights turn off automatically after 20 minutes.
To turn the lights on again, turn to IGNITION ON mode, or turn the light
switch OFF once and then back to the or position.
The sensor may not function properly if
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed
to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
CAUTION
When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles
are in front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning (P. 281) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious
accident may result.
Vehicles that cut in suddenly
Vehicles traveling at low speeds
Vehicles that are not moving
Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may
not function correctly
Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sen-
sor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious
accident may result:
When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
functioning of the sensor
When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the
trunk etc.)
When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety)
: If equipped
When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the
pre-crash safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are
automatically engaged to lessen impact as well as vehicle dam-
age.
Pre-crash seat belts (front seat belts only)
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable,
the pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the
collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking
or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 102)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
Pre-crash brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and
buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision
speed. Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash
braking OFF switch.

Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also
be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals,
bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
The pre-crash safety system is operational when
Pre-crash seat belts (Type A):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The system detects sudden braking or skidding.
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash seat belts (Type B):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 5 km/h (4 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the
vehicle running ahead of you is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the
vehicle running ahead of you is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking:
• The pre-crash braking OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 15 km/h (10 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the
vehicle running ahead of you is greater than about 15 km/h (10 mph).
