CHANGING THE PRE-COLLISION ALERT TIMING
DISABLING THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
Each time the PCS switch is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timin\
g changes.
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The
will turn on and a message will be displayed on the
Multi-Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition O\
n.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system ca\
n be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).

OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\
rator and
brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied firmly
for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per ho\
ur.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling backward.
Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Dist\
ribution (EBD),
Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Sta\
bility Control
(VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on
limitations to these systems.
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that current
road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control. \
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than just
the driver alone can.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help maintain
control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle to ti\
lt forward,
reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden st\
ops by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\
our wheels.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
s traveling. When
it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC redu\
ces engine power
and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction and \
vehicle control.
