SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Stop & Start Engine System stops and restarts the engine according t\�o the
brake pedal operation and other operations when the vehicle is stopped.
Stopping the engine
While driving with the shift lever
in D, depress the brake pedal,
and stop the vehicle.
Disabling the Stop & Start Engine
System
Press the Stop & Start Engine System
cancel switch to disable the system.
Stop & Start Engine System (if equipped)
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start Engine System when the vehi\�cle is
on an incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling
backwards until the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is automatical\�ly
canceled.

FEATURES & OPERATIONSDownhill Assist Control system (DAC)
(AWD models)
With the downhill assist control system, the vehicle is able to descend \�a steep hill,
maintaining a constant low speed of about 18 mph (30 km/h) without brake pedal
operation.
Press the “DAC” button to activate the system. The slip indicator \�will flash to
indicate that the downhill assist control system is operating.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)/
TRAC OFF switch
The VSC OFF switch can be used to help free a stuck vehicle in surroundi\�ngs like
mud, dirt or snow. While the vehicle is stopped, press switch to disable\� the TRAC
system.
To disable both VSC and TRAC systems, press and hold the switch for at l\�east 3
seconds.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\�etect a
vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\�rformance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\�stem will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\�on. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not\� attempt
to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the syste\�m may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, \�such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a san\�dstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve,\� a vehicle
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the syst\�em from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\�s in which the
system may not operate properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \�w/PD
operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before att\�empting to
use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\�s high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\�nformation
Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\�tional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\�ay apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\�ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\�t the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely\� high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to he\�lp the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

(1) Press “” switches and select from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “
” switches and select from the MID and then press “.”
(3) Select “Sensitivity” and then press “

Each time “
” is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown
above. You can press “
” to go back to the menu.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter
wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\�irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and infor\�mation.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package\� may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-v\�ehicle camera
and front-grill mounted millimeter wave radar. The in-vehicle camera of \�PCS
detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of the\� detected
pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the
conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture\�, size, and
angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from o\�perating or
engaging.
