may work in situations where it 
should not be working.
Installing electronic devices and 
radios increases the risk of 
cyber attacks through the 
installed parts, which may lead 
to unexpected accidents and 
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any 
guarantees for problems caused 
by installing non-genuine Toyota 
products.
The installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system in your 
vehicle could affect electronic 
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel 
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary 
measures or special instructions 
regarding installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system. This vehicle is equipped with 
sophisticated computers that 
record certain data regarding 
vehicle controls and operations.
Data recorded by the comput-
ers
*1
Certain data, such as the following, 
is recorded dependi ng on the oper-
ation timing and status of each 
function.
• Basic vehicle behavior related  data (engine speed, accelera-
tor/brake pedal operation, vehi-
cle speed, etc.)
• Operating state of the driving  support systems (recorded during 
system operation, includes basic 
vehicle behavior related data)
• Driving support system sensor  data
• Image data (images from the  front, rear and  side cameras)
*2
• Location information
These computers do not record 
conversations, sounds, or 
images of the inside of the vehi-
cle.
Also, personal information which 
may be used to identify the 
owner of the vehicle (name, 
gender, age, etc.) is not 
recorded.
*1: The recorded data varies accord-
ing to the vehicle grade level and 
options with which it is equipped.

Front impact sensors
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical  
reaction in the inflators quickly  fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.226)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.243)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.312)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.319)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain  the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 6 0 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will 
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,  such as a parked vehicle or sign 
pole, which can move or deform 
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an  underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under, 
the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, 
it is possible that only the seat belt 
pretensioners will activate.

■Daytime running light system
●The daytime runn ing lights illumi-
nate using the same lights as the 
headlights and illu minate darker 
than the headlights.
●To make your vehicle more visible 
to other drivers  during daytime 
driving, the daytime running lights 
turn on automatically when all of 
the following conditions are met. 
(The daytime running lights are 
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the,   
or 
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain 
on after they illumi nate, even if the 
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.:  Daytime running 
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light 
system offers greater durability 
and consumes less electricity, so 
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything  that blocks the 
Headlight switch
The headlights can be oper-
ated manually or automati-
cally.

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system 
uses sensors to detect 
objects ( P.167) in the path 
of the vehicle. When the 
system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable 
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 possibility of a collision 
is extremely high, the 
brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the 
collision or help reduce the 
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system 
can be disabled/enabled 
and the warning timing can 
be changed. ( P.176)
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving.
Never use the pre-collision sys-
tem in place of  normal braking 
operations. This system cannot 
help avoid or reduce the impact 
of a collision in every situation. 
Over-reliance on this system to 
drive the vehicle safely may 
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Although the pre-collision sys-
tem is designed to help avoid or 
help reduce the impact of a col-
lision, its effectiveness may 
change according to various 
conditions. Therefore, it may not 
always be able to achieve the 
same level of performance.
Read the followin g items care-
fully. Do not overl y rely on this 
system and always drive care-
fully.

Driving
PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object 
(P.188) is detected, the 
proactive driving assist 
operates the brakes and 
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from 
approaching too close to 
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is  solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is 
designed to provide some 
assistance for regular braking 
and steering operations, as well 
as helping to prevent the vehicle 
from approaching too close to a 
detectable object. However, the 
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake 
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items 
carefully. Do not overly rely on the 
proactive driving assist and 
always drive carefully.( P.189)
●The proactive driving assist is 
not a system which reduces the 
amount of attention necessary 
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the 
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and 
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver 
to pay attention, assess risks, 
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the 
vehicle safely may lead to an 
accident resulting in death or 
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a 
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system 
which assists in poor visibility 
conditions. The driver is solely 
responsible for paying attention 
to their surroundings and driving 
safely.

■Automatic cancellation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle d istance control 
mode
In the following  situations, vehi-
cle-to-vehicle dista nce control mode 
will be canceled  automatically:
●When the brake control or output 
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been 
operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by 
system control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are 
detected while the vehicle is 
stopped by system control:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfas- tened
• The driver’s door is opened
• Approximately 3 minutes have  elapsed since the vehicle was 
stopped
The parking brake may be actived 
automatically.

■Preceding vehicles that the sen-
sor may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depend-
ing on the conditions, if the system 
cannot provide sufficient decelera-
tion or acceleration is necessary, 
operate the brake pedal or accelera-
tor pedal.
As the sensor may  not be able to 
correctly detect th ese types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning 
(  P.199) may not operate.
●When a vehicle cuts in front of 
your vehicle or changes lanes 
away from your vehicle extremely 
slowly or quickly
●When changing lanes
●When a preceding vehicle is driv-
ing at a low speed
●When a vehicle is stopped in the 
same lane as the vehicle
●When a motorcycle  is traveling in 
the same lane as the vehicle
■Conditions under which the 
system may not operate cor-
rectly
In the following situations, operate 
the brake pedal (or accelerator 
pedal, depending on the situation) 
as necessary.
As the sensor may  not be able to 
correctly detect a vehicle, the sys-
tem may not operate properly.

depending on the road conditions, 
etc.
After entering the deceleration 
stop phase, a buzzer will sound 
continuously and a message will 
be displayed to warn the driver, 
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle 
stops, the system will enter the 
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the 
parking brake will be applied 
automatically. After entering the 
stop and hold phase, the buzzer 
will continue sounding continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to 
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.

able) and warns the driver 
via displays and buzzers.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attent ion to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely so lely upon the 
RSA. The RSA assists the 
driver by providing road sign 
information, but it is not a 
replacement for the driver’s own 
vision and awareness. Driving 
safely is solely the responsibility 
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe 
driving.
■Situations in which the RSA 
should not be used

2264-5. Using the driving support systems
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced 
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of 
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintai n directional 
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■The Secondary Collision 
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor 
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and 
brake lights are automatically 
controlled to reduce the vehicle 
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility 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 
needed to turn the steering 
wheel.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems 
are operating
The slip indicator light will flash 
while the TRAC/VSC systems are 
operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt 
or snow, the TRAC system may 
reduce power from the engine to the 
wheels. Pressing   to turn the 
system off may make it easier for 
you to rock the vehicle in order to 
free it.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly 
press and release  .
The “Traction Cont rol Turned OFF” 
will be shown on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Press   again to turn the system 
back on.

2284-5. Using the driving support systems
●When the engine switch is turned 
off
●If only the TRAC system is turned 
off, the TRAC will turn on when 
vehicle speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned off, automatic 
re-enabling will not occur when 
vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active 
Cornering Assist
The system operates when the fol-
lowing occurs.
●TRAC/VSC can operate
●The driver is at tempting to accel-
erate while turning
●The system detects that the vehi-
cle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the 
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is 
frequent steering input over an 
extended period of time. The steer-
ing wheel may feel heavy as a 
result. Should this occur, refrain 
from excessive steering input or 
stop the vehicle and turn the engine 
off. The EPS syst em should return 
to normal within 10 minutes.
■Secondary Collision Brake 
operating conditions
The system operates when the SRS 
airbag sensor detects a collision 
while the vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not oper-
ate when the components are dam-
aged.
■Secondary Collision Brake 
automatic cancellation
The system is automatically can-
celed in any of th e following situa-
tions.
●The vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 0 mph (0 km/h)
●A certain amount of 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 veh icle in front of 
you, especially in  the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on dirt, 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.
