WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense P
The  Toyota  Safety  Sense  P  is  designed  to  operate  under  the  assu mption
that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help redu ce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or ass ist the driver in
normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this  system. The
driver  is  always  responsible  for  paying  attention  to  the  vehicl e’s  surround-
ings and driving safely.

The  pre-collision  system  is  equipped  with  a  sophisticated  computer
that will record certain data, such as: • Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
• Information (such as the dist ance and relative speed between y our
vehicle and the vehicle  ahead or other objects)
• Images  from the camera  sensor (available  only  when  the  pre-col li-
sion  braking  function  or  the  pre-collision  brake  assist  functio n  was
operating)
The  pre-collision  system  does  no t  record  conversations  sounds  or
images of the inside of the vehicle.
● Data usage
Toyota  may  use  the  data  recorded  in  this  computer  to  diagnose
malfunctions,  conduct  research  and  development,  and  improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party exc ept:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of t he
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For  research  purposes  where  the  data  is  not  tied  to  a  specific vehicle or vehicle owner
● Recorded images can be erased  using a specialized device.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the f unc-
tion  is  disabled,  data  from  when  the  pre-collision  system  opera tes
will not be available.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The  pre-collision  system  uses  a  radar  sensor  and  camera  sen-
sor  to  detect  vehicles  and  pedest rians  in  front  of  your  vehicle.
When the system determines that t he possibility of a frontal col-
lision with a vehicle or pedest rian 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 possi bility of a frontal collision with
a  vehicle  or  pedestrian  is  extremely  high,  the  brakes  are  auto-
matically  applied  to  help  avoid  the  collision  or  help  reduce  th e
impact of the collision.
The  pre-collision  system  can  b e  disabled/enabled  and  the  warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P.   2 3 2 )

◆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.

WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings. 
Do  not  use  the  pre-collision  system  instead  of  normal  braking  o perations
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collision s or lessen
collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly re ly on this sys-
tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in dea th or serious
injury.
● Although  this  system  is  designed  to  help  avoid  a  collision  or  h elp  reduce
the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to vari-
ous  conditions,  therefore  the  system  may  not  always  be  able  to  achieve
the same level of performance. 
Read  the  following  conditions  carefully.  Do  not  overly  rely  on  this  system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is  no pos-
sibility of a collision:  P. 235
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly:  P. 238
● Do  not  attempt  to  test  the  operation  of  the  pre-collision  syste m  yourself.
Depending  on  the  objects  used  for  testing  (dummies,  cardboard  o bjects
imitating  detectable  objects,  etc.),  the  system  may  not  operate   properly,
possibly leading to an accident.
■ Pre-collision braking
● When  the  pre-collision  braking  function  is  operating,  a  large  a mount  of
braking force will be applied.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking func-
tion,  the  pre-collision  braking  function  operation  will  be  canceled  after
approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.
● The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain o perations are
performed  by  the  driver.  If  the  accelerator  pedal  is  being  depressed
strongly  or the  steering  wheel  is  being  turned,  the  system  may  determine
that  the  driver  is  taking  evasive  action  and  possibly  prevent  t he  pre-colli-
sion braking function from operating.
● In  some  situations,  while  the  pre-collision  braking  function  is   operating,
operation  of  the  function  may  be  canceled  if  the  accelerator  pedal  is
depressed  strongly  or  the  steering  wheel  is  turned  and  the  syst em  deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive action.
● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine  that the
driver  is  taking  evasive  action  and  possibly  delay  the  operation  timing  of
the pre-collision braking function.
