WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible 
for safe driving. Always drive 
safely, taking care to observe 
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking 
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not 
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every 
situation. Do not overly rely on 
this system. Failure to do so 
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is 
designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help 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 sys- tem may operate even if there is 
no possibility of a collision: 
P. 1 8 2
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate prop-
erly:
P.183
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the pre-collision system 
yourself.
Depending on the objects used 
for testing (dummies, card-
board objects imitating detect-
able objects, etc.), the system 
may not operate properly, possi-
bly leading to an accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking 
function is operating, a large 
amount of braking force will be 
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the 
operation of the pre-collision 
braking function, the pre-colli-
sion braking function operation 
will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. Depress the 
brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain 
operations 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 the 
pre-collision braking function 
from operating.
●In some situations, while the 
pre-collision brak ing function is 
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the 
accelerator pedal  is depressed 
strongly or the steering wheel is 
turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking 
evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being 
depressed, the system may 
determine that t he driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly 
delay the operation timing of the 
pre-collision braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable 
the system, as it may not operate 
properly, possibly leading to an 
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed

■Enabling/disabling the 
pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be 
enabled/disabled on   
( P.531) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The system is automatically 
enabled each time the engine 
switch is turned to ON.
If the system is disabled, the 
PCS warning light will turn on 
and a message will be displayed 
on the multi-information display.
■Changing the pre-collision 
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing 
can be changed on   
( P.531) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The warning timing setting is 
retained when the engine switch is 
turned off. However, if the pre-colli-
sion system is disabled and 
re-enabled, the operation timing will 
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).
WARNING
●When your vehicle is towing 
another vehicle

■Operational conditions
The pre-collision syst em is enabled and the system determines t hat the pos-
sibility of a frontal c ollision with a detected object is high.
Each function is operatio nal at the following speed:
●Pre-collision warning
●Pre-collision  brake assist
●Pre-collision braking

1824-5. Using the driving support systems
COROLLA H/B_UThe system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and
 then the 
vehicle has not been driven  for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only  the pre-collision warning 
function will be  operational)
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based 
on their size, profile, motion, etc. 
However, an object may not be 
detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion, 
posture, and angle of the detected 
object, preventing the system from 
operating properly. ( P.183) 
The illustration sh ows an image of 
detectable objects.
■Cancelation of t he pre-collision 
braking
If either of the fo llowing occur while 
the pre-collision braking function is 
operating, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is 
depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned 
sharply or abruptly.
■Conditions under which the 
system may operate even if 
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine 
that there is a possibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object,  etc.
• When changing lanes while over-
taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable  object in an adjacent lane or on 
the roadside, such as when 
changing the course of travel or 
driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the  roadside, such as detectable 
objects, guardrails, utility poles, 
trees, or walls
• When there is a d etectable object 
or other object by  the roadside at 
the entrance  of a curve

●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

*: If equipped
LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist)*
When driving on highways 
and freeways with white 
(yellow) lane lines, this 
function alerts the driver 
when the vehicle might 
depart from its lane or 
course
* and provides assis-
tance by operating the 
steering wheel to keep the 
vehicle in its lane or 
course
*. Furthermore, the 
system provides steering 
assistance when dynamic 
radar cruise control with 
full-speed range is operat-
ing to keep the vehicle in its 
lane.
The LTA system recognizes 
white (yellow) lane lines or a 
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects 
preceding vehicles using 
the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and  the side of the road, such as 
grass, soil, or a curb
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA 
system. The LTA system does 
not automatically drive the vehi-
cle or reduce the amount of 
attention that m ust be paid to 
the area in front of the vehicle. 
The driver must always assume 
full responsibilit y for driving 
safely by paying careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions and operating the steering 
wheel to correct the path of the 
vehicle. Also, the driver must 
take adequate breaks when 
fatigued, such as from driving 
for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate 
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an 
accident, resulting in death or 
serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, 
use the LTA switch to turn the 
system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA 
system
In the following situations, use the 
LTA switch to turn the system off. 
Failure to do so may lead to an 
accident, resulting in death or 
serious injury.
