COROLLA H/B_U
The system can detect the fol-
lowing:
Vehicles
 Bicyclists
 Pedestrians
■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 
collision is high, the system 
applies greater braking force in 
relation to how strongly the 
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that 
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the 
brakes are automatically applied 
to help avoid the collision or 
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system 
uses a radar sensor and 
front camera to detect 
objects ( P.178) in front of 
the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the 
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object 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 an object is extremely 
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help 
avoid the collision or help 
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.
The pre-collision system 
can be disabled/enabled 
and the warning timing can 
be changed. ( P.180)

Driving
• When driving through steam or  smoke
• When the surrounding area is dim, 
such as at dawn or dusk, or while 
at night or in a t unnel, making a 
detectable object appear to be 
nearly the same color as its sur-
roundings
• When driving in a place where the 
surrounding brightness changes 
suddenly, such as at the entrance 
or exit of a tunnel
• After the engine has started the  vehicle has not been driven for a 
certain amount of time
• While making a left/right turn and  for a few seconds after making a 
left/right turn
• While driving on a  curve and for a 
few seconds after driving on a 
curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the front of the vehicle is raised  or lowered
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the  front camera
• The vehicle is being driven at  extremely high speeds.
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or front camera  is misaligned
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, sufficient braking force 
may not be obtained, preventing 
the system from performing prop-
erly:
• 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 main- tained (brakes or tires are exces- sively worn, imprope
r tire inflation 
pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven 
on a gravel road or  other slippery 
surface
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.242), the 
pre-collision br ake assist and 
pre-collision brakin g functions are 
also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on 
and “VSC Turned OFF Pre-Colli-
sion Brake System Unavailable” 
will be displayed on the 
multi-information display.

Driving■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock 
when the brakes are applied 
suddenly, or if the brakes are 
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of 
braking force after the brake 
pedal is depressed when the 
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or 
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced 
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of 
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional 
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■Secondary Collision Brake
When the airbag sensor detects 
a collision, the brakes and stop 
lights are automatically con-
trolled to reduce the vehicle 
speed and that helps reduce the 
possibility of further damage 
due to a secondary collision.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power 
and prevent the drive wheels 
from spinning when starting the 
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■Active Cornering Assist 
(ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle 
from drifting to the outer side by 
performing inner wheel brake 
control when attempting to 
accelerate while turning
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward 
movement of the vehicle when 
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to 
reduce the amount of effort 
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and 
performance, the following 
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various 
driving situations. Be 
aware, however, that these 
systems are supplementary 
and should not be relied 
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

■Secondary Collision Brake 
operating conditions
The vehicle speed is approximately 
6 mph (10 km/h) or more and the 
airbag sensor detects a collision. 
(The Secondary Collision Brake will 
not operate when the vehicle speed 
is below approximately 6 mph [10 
km/h].)
■Secondary Collision Brake 
automatic cancellation
The Secondary Collision Brake is 
automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
●The vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
●A certain amount o f time elapses 
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is 
depressed a large amount
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate 
effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded 
(such as excessively worn tires 
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while 
driving at high speed on wet or 
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the 
ABS is operating may exceed 
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to 
shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of 
you, especially in  the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on d irt, gravel or 
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the 
road
●When driving over roads with 
potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRAC/VSC may not operate 
effectively when
Directional control and power may 
not be achievable while driving on 
slippery road surfaces, even if the 
TRAC/VSC system is operating. 
Drive the vehicle  carefully in con-
ditions where stability and power 
may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active 
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate 
effectively when accelerating 
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Corn ering Assist 
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily 
stop operating to ensure proper 
operation of the brakes, TRAC 
and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start 
assist control. Hill-start assist 
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and 
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, 
hill-start assist control is not 
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary for an extended period 
of time. Do not attempt to use 
hill-start assist control to hold 
the vehicle on an incline, as 
doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
