■When an inspection at your
Toyota dealer is necessary
When the brake hold standby indi-
cator (green) doe s not illuminate
even when the brake hold switch is

is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
■Warning messages and buzzers
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunc-
tion or to inform the driver of the

steep incline
When using the brake hold sys-
tem on a steep incline, exercise
caution. The brake hold function
may not hold the vehicle in such a
situation.
■When stopped on a slippery
road
The system cannot stop the vehi-
cle when the gripping ability of the
tires has been exceeded. Do not
use the system when stopped on
a slippery road.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
The brake hold system is not
designed for use when parking
the vehicle for a long period of
time. Turning the power switch off
while the system is holding the
brake may release the brake,
which would cause the vehicle to
move. When operating the power
switch, depress the brake pedal,
shift the shift lever to P and set
the parking brake.

will come on when the system is
operating.
■Conditions to turn the high
beams on/off automatically
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will
be turned on automatically (after
approximately 1 second):
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

uses a camera sensor
located behind the upper
portion of the windshield to
assess the brightness of the
lights of vehicles ahead,
streetlights, etc., and auto-
matically turns the high
beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic

HIGHLANDER HV_Uwindshield wipers are operating, if a
front door is opened, the operation
of the windshield wipers will be
stopped to prevent anyone enter-
ing/exiting the vehicle from being
sprayed by water from the wipers,
provided the vehicle is stopped with

■Enabling/disabling the
pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on ( P.97,
107) of the multi-information dis-
p l a y.
The system is automatically
enabled each time the power
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.
WARNING
• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly, the steering wheel is
operated sharply or the brake
pedal is being depressed and
the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held firmly or is
operated in the opposite direc-
tion to that which the system is
generating torque, the function
may be canceled.
■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
●When your vehicle is towing
another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle
via truck, boat, train or similar
means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a
lift with the hybrid system on
and the tires are allowed to
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle
using a drum tester such as a
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied
to the front bumper or front
grille, due to an accident or
other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in
a stable manner, such as when
the vehicle has been in an acci-
dent or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●When tire chains are installed
●When a compact spare tire or
an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
●If equipment (snow plow, etc.)
that may obstruct the radar sen-
sor or front came ra is temporar-
ily installed to the vehicle

■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. (

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
While driving on a road with
clear white (yellow) lane
lines, the LTA system warns
the driver if the vehicle may
deviate from the current
lane or course
*, and also
can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
( P.271) is operating, this
system will operate the
steering wheel to maintain
the vehicle’s lane position.
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
